Forty percent of migrants released in Texas border city test positive for COVID-19, officials say

AUSTIN, Texas — The city of Laredo, Texas, has refused to take in migrants who have been bused in from elsewhere on the border after discovering 40% of them tested positive for the coronavirus, according to two local government officials....

The 40% infection rate is the highest known positivity rate along the U.S.-Mexico border. Last week, McAllen, Texas, reported a 15% positivity rate among migrants released from custody.

Concerned that migrants arriving in Laredo would further strain hospital resources, Laredo officials contracted private bus companies to transport migrants arriving from the Rio Grande Valley to larger cities across the state. By not admitting migrants on the McAllen buses, the city is not required to test them for the coronavirus and could forward the families elsewhere. Those who test positive cannot travel and must be quarantined for 10 days, a situation Saenz wanted to evade ....

CDC, Biden, Fausi, CINOS/RINOS: we are seeing “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

American citizens: unvaccinated illegal aliens are causing this, as the average unvaccinated rate from Central America is 80%?

CDC, Biden, Fausi, CINOS/RINOS: no, only unvaccinated American citizens can cause this. (sarcasm.

The Biden administration refuses to say what states they are releasing them into, but you can be it’s red states.

Biden and the Dems are not going to stop the illegals from crossing the Southern Border because they don’t want to lose the Mexican Cartel’s kickbacks to the Dems which will pay for the 2022 election. Most of the billions of dollars will be used to pay off Dominion and other voting machine manufacturers to assure the Dems win the House and Senate races.

The positive are quarantined for 10 days? I thought minimum was 14 days. No wonder rates are increasing.

I would think that Loredo and possibly Abbott could file a law suit, with an emergency order to cease releasing illegals into Loredo and Texas unless they have been tested negative for Covid. The balance of damages are in Loredo’s and Texas’ favor because of the threat of the threat of infection to the populace vs. the government’s inability to find space to house the illegals, and quarantine as needed, is a crisis of their own making.

The same question needs to be asked about the illegal and the legal— how many of those who test positive are actually sick? Sick enough to justify hysteria, closures, and lockdowns?

Yep! No different than the same federal government sending Smallpox-contaminated blankets to Native Americans, other than this is more effective.

"Forty percent of migrants released in Texas border city test positive for COVID-19,"

I keep expecting to find dead immigrants everywhere. Something always seems missing from these stories.
