Twenty percent of border crossers tested positive amid delta variant surge, 'surprised' Mayorkas says
Washington Examiner via msn ^ | 29 September 2021 | Anna Giaritelli

The top border official in the Biden administration admitted to being caught off guard recently by the spike in delta variant coronavirus cases among migrants at the border....

...Mayorkas, who has for months refused to speak on the risk that infected migrants who are released into the United States pose to border communities, said upwards of 20% of that population are sick with the highly contagious disease.

"We are confronted with a population of people that, as a general matter, that have a rate of illness of approximately 20%," said Mayorkas, who has been in his position since January. "When one is speaking of 7,000 or 7,500 people encountered at the border every day, if one takes a look at that the system, it is not built for that in a COVID environment where isolation is required."

Still using the FAKE, worthless PCR test that can only tell you that you are sick, not whether or not you have the flu or COVID-19.

So they are lying, and know it, when they state anything concerning COVID-19 cases or deaths.

Until they go to the trouble of doing genomic sequencing tests, or some other test that can reliably determine COVID-19 from the flu, this is all propaganda and Lies.

How would he know what percentage of illegals are infected since they’re not even testing them?

lol - nothing wrong with PCR tests for preliminary screening. Blood tests and antigen tests can always confirm a positive. The latest PCR test will be able to test for all three at once which is two less cotton balls up one’s nose, I figure.

But tell me, would you authorize the tax dollars to ‘genomically sequence 150K haitians to determine exact covid strain before they were processed by BP? What about messicans? What is the cost of over 2 million ‘genomic sequencing’ lab runs for 9 months of illegal immigration? If we can catch even half of the positives before they’re sent to Montana or Wyoming or Utah or New Jersey, or Mississippi, more power to us, right? Better than totally blind.

The problem is that they don’t catch many so testing what they catch tells us nothing. Their plan is to terrorize Americans with diseased illegal aliens just as they terrorized us in 2020 with BLM and ANTIFA. The left think they will be rewarded for pushing their communism on us. I saw an article about one example, “The Memphis Grizzlies Go Full-blown Fascist, Tell Fans to Show Their Papers”, and you can give that a look at Townhall. My suggestion is send the Grizzlies a picture of your ‘paper(s)’ money all spread out and tell them they won’t be getting any ever again...AND why. Also, if the illegals were coming here to vote for Trump then Dims couldn’t build a wall quickly enough.

The accuracy rate on those tests is the same as tossing a coin! Sheeple are turning over their health to communists tossing change in the air.

They aren’t even catching them all! They never do!

not to mention Mrs Harris is the one in charge of border policy. The press has been shielding her for far too long and her silence, as the BLM like to say, is complicit.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! The thurd world has always been and always will be rife with infectious diseases. The Chinese Flu is just one more on the menu.

Please don't confuse us with facts. We're on a roll here.

“The Chinese Flu is just one more on the menu.”

Chinese Generals didn’t warn General Milley of the Wuhan Flu plandemic.

I'm surprised, too! I was expecting at least THIRTY percent!

On the infected cruise ships when Covid first started it was about 20% infected as well.

“But tell me, would you authorize the tax dollars to ‘genomically sequence 150K haitians”

It would create a database of DNA samples, matched to those claiming asylum. It could help with crime detection in the future.

I’m sure the same is happening or planned with citizens.

I couldn’t even start to guess what it costs for a viral genomic sequence, much less a DNA one, too. $200 a head? $500?

It’s surprising that it was only 20%. I expected it to be much higher.

Good point.

I’m sure it’s expensive - but how much to process an asylum seeker overall? USD 1,000 or perhaps USD 10,000? Then there’s the monthly welfare costs thereafter.

I’m told by my better half that the internal cost of a full DNA extract/test is around USD 160.

There’s an interesting table of COVID related genomes sequenced here: https://www.gisaid.org/index.php?id=208
