108 illegal immigrants in Texas who tested positive for COVID reportedly released

More than 100 illegal immigrants who tested positive for the coronavirus — after their arrival in Texas ​​since late January — have been released by the Border Patrol into the Lone Star State ​and are free to travel to other parts of the US, according to reports.

Felipe Romero, a spokesman for the border city of Brownsville, told Fox News that they are telling the migrants who tested positive to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to quarantine and maintain social distance, but that Brownsville doesn’t have the authority to stop them from traveling to the rest of the country.

He said the 108 positives account for 6.3 percent of the total migrants who received rapid tests at the city’s main bus terminal, a program that began on Jan. 25.

Some of the migrants described to Noticias Telemundo Investiga ​how they were tested at the border and then allowed to hit the streets despite a positive result for the coronavirus. ​​

Miriam Izaguirre, a migrant from Honduras, said she crossed the Rio Grande on Monday with her young son and surrendered to authorities but was released within a few hours by the Border Patrol.

“Right now we were tested for COVID and they separated us … because we were positive,” Izaguirre told news site. “We are waiting right now.”

​They expect to board a bus to Houston. ​​

Other migrants who tested positive said they plan to travel to North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.

Apparently a lot of er illegals are not waiting for Bejing Joe to allow them to come here!

Biden and his fellow Democrats are potential serial Killers via proxy by Covid 19, by welcoming millions of illegal Mexicans & ????? into America.

Texas Sheriff: ‘It’s Absolutely True’ That Biden Is Releasing Illegals Into U.S. Without COVID Tests: dailywire ^ | 2/10/21 | Dailywire News Posted on 2/11/2021, 10:20:53 AM by Roman_War_Criminal

AJ Louderback, Sheriff of Jackson County in Texas, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night that it was “absolutely true” that the Biden administration was releasing illegal immigrants into U.S. communities without giving them a COVID-19 test.

The New York Times reports that illegal entrants in Texas are not being screened for COVID unless they show detectable symptoms and are being released indefinitely into the United States instead of returned to their home countries:

Health authorities in San Diego have ruled that those crossing into California must remain at the hotel for 10 days before being allowed to go onward. There is no similar quarantine requirement in Texas for migrants who arrive with no coronavirus symptoms, according to volunteers working with the migrants; there, they said, those released by Border Patrol are being allowed to board buses and travel to other destinations.

Every illegal from Mexico or south of Mexico could be a walking Covid 19 suicide bomber!

The Latest: Mexico hits another record for COVID-19 cases.

By The Associated Press Jan 15, 2021 Updated Jan 15, 2021

Mexico posted a record spike in coronavirus cases on Friday, with 21,366 newly confirmed infections, about double the daily rate of increase just a week ago. The country also recorded 1,106 more deaths.

It was unclear if the spike was due to the presence of the U.K. virus variant, of which only one case has so far been confirmed in a visiting British citizen.

The country has now seen almost 1.61 million total infections and has seen registered over 139,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.

The country’s extremely low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is closer to 195,000. So little testing is done that 8% of all those who got a test later died during recent weeks; normally, only people with severe symptoms are tested.

While Biden and the Democrat Killers are welcoming millions of illegal Mexicans, Canada is doing the following re Covid 19” Mexico:

Canada to quarantine travelers, suspend flights south! Justin Trudeau said travelers will need quarantine up to 3 days in hotel at their own expense

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced stricter restrictions on travelers in response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus — including making it mandatory for travelers to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada and suspending airline service to Mexico and all Caribbean destinations until April 30.

Trudeau said in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada.

"Travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense, which is expected to be more than $2,000," Trudeau said.

Biden is pushing the release of illegal migrants in Texas. A good number (108 and counting) have tested positive for coronavirus. Biden himself is terrified of coronavirus so does this make him guilty of potential manslaughter, attempted murder or targeting people (Texans) for death. Sounds like one or more impeachable offenses.

Of many!

Only, who’s going to bring up any impeachment charges?

Buy them nonrefundable bus tickets to DC, and tell them Senõr Joe has jobs for them at the Casa Blanca, plus free housing there.

One other thing about this story...they didn’t test them for tuberculosis either. You might have five or six positive on the TB test as well.

“Sounds like one or more impeachable offenses.”

Even if, by some miracle, Republicans win the house in 2022, I doubt that Kevin McCarthy would permit an impeachment of either Biden or Harris. He’s no different than Paul Ryan.

I’d like to see all of the counties of Texas on the border with Mexico secede from Texas with an agreement to keep everything between them and Texas as they are now.

Call themselves the Patriot Belt Nation of America.

The border then becomes between them and Texas and the Patriot Belt Nation of America can contain the border between them and Mexico as tight as they want.

Just a thought.
