Biden’s DHS Admits ‘Significantly Increased Rates’ of COVID-Positive Border Crossers Arriving in U.S.

The rate at which coronavirus-positive border crossers are arriving in the United States has “increased significantly,” according to President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

David Shahoulian, DHS’s assistant secretary for border and immigration policy, admitted in a court brief filed this week that the agency has seen “significantly increased rates” of coronavirus-positive border crossers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, spurring “extremely worrisome” conditions at border facilities.

Shahoulian writes in the brief:

As explained in more detail below, the United States is currently encountering record numbers of noncitizens, including families, at the border. These encounter rates have strained DHS operations and caused border facilities to be filled beyond their normal operating capacity, impacting the ability to employ social distancing in these congregate settings. At the same time, DHS is also experiencing significantly increased rates of noncitizens testing positive for COVID19. In light of these and other considerations, enjoining the application of the CDC Order to families would exacerbate overcrowding at DHS facilities and create significant public health risks. [Emphasis added]
…

This risk has recently increased due to the recent spread of the highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant. The rates at which encountered noncitizens are testing positive for COVID-19 have increased significantly in recent weeks. And although the rate of infection among CBP officers had been declining, this rate recently began increasing again, even though the percentage of officers and agents who have been fully vaccinated has grown significantly since January. This has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized.

**"Significantly"**

That word is repeated 6 times in the article. I think that is significant. O'Biden will implode. That is significant.

If I were Texas, I’d sue the pants off Catholic Charities and the other quote non-profits that are actively working south of the border to encourage and train the migrants on what to do. They’re helping drive the illegal immigration and then turn around and say, oh, we’re overwhelmed we can’t process all these people not our job. In the meantime another ‘charity’ has a donated frequent flyer miles program that buys plane tickets to destination of choice. Sue them all.

Yep

This week, city officials in McAllen, Texas revealed that the Biden administration has released more than 7,000 coronavirus-positive border crossers into their communities since February. In the last seven days, alone, the Biden administration released more than 1,500 coronavirus-positive border crossers in McAllen.

The latest data reveals that the Biden administration has released about 173,000 border crossers into the U.S. interior since he took office in late January. In addition, just in the month of July, nearly 15,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) were released to sponsors across the U.S. Another 16,000 UACs remain in federal custody until they are released to sponsors.

This is an intentional act to destroy the USA. It is what the Communist/Democrats (#ComDem's) have openly shown they want. May God Help "We the People" end this Coup and Destruction. This will not be stopped from DC. It will only end when the States and the People have had enough. (with God supporting us.)

It's TIME to DownSize DC!

Restore the Constitution!⇓Size _DC!

I hope Bidet is jabbing these illegal aliens while they are in custody.

That would be a blatant violation of the Nuremberg Code, of course, and eventually one of the aliens would find a world class lawyer (pro bono) who could make quite a name for himself and his client.

With the huge number of covid cases, I would think that there is a trail of dead bodies of the people that have needed hospitalization/ventilator and didn’t make it to the border. Has anyone read or heard anything about that?

This helps with the Texas case. It proves Texas’ point that DHS is aware of the covid positive status of the illegals they release into the state and must be held accountable. I would hope that the court tells DHS that unless they can assure that no Covid infected illegal Aliens are released into the state of Texas then DHS must isolate/quarantine them and treat them until they test negative for Covid.
