The border tests positive: COVID breaches the southern border — and Washington just doesn't care
American Thinker ^ | 03/04/2021 | Silvio Canto Jr.

Posted on 03/04/2021 6:36:34 AM PST by SeekAndFind

We recently had dinner with some Mexico City friends.  It happened on the day that Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas is now open.  During our conversation, we were reminded of just how bad the COVID situation is in Mexico, from schools closed to businesses shut down to people in panic about the situation.

So why would we let people in without testing them?  Is anyone surprised that some of these people would be infected?

This is from ABC news reports:

Miriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities.

A few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive.

"Right now we were tested for Covid and they separated about eight of us because we were positive," she told Noticias Telemundo Investiga. "We are waiting right now." She was waiting to catch a bus to Houston.

Other migrant families who also said they had tested positive were waiting to go to other destinations: North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.

I wonder what they are thinking about this in North Carolina, Maryland, and New Jersey!

And now we hear that a growing number of underage migrants will be arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border!

How are these underage migrants getting to the border?  Who is taking them there?  What criminal elements are potentially using these kids or charging their parents to bring them to the border?

...and Washington doesn’t care.”

In fact they are overjoyed! More chaos, more destruction of middle class. “Goody, goody”, they say “We will finally be able to control these idiots”

Yes, Washington wants everybody to wear masks to protect the flood of immigrants from us.

It is apparent that the Democrat Party policy is to infect Americans with the Covid 19 China virus. During the Trump Presidency, Democrats protested his shutdown of travel from China calling this policy racist.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf sent Covid 19 infected patients into nursing homes, leading to thousands of deaths. Now President Biden is welcoming Covid infected illegal immigrants to the United States. He is sending infected people on buses to many states.
Isn’t the President’s job to protect American citizens?

The dems goal is to lock down the country. I believe that they had advance notice that the china flu was coming and took full advantage of it. Now it is on to round 2. Send infected people all over the country, watch the numbers go up then lock the country down again.

It is all to steal all future elections to keep themselves in power.

Sorry but international relations are the domain of the feds.

Been tried many times but the feds just do whatever they want - or do nothing at all.

It was one of the reasons that the emergency medical system was breaking down in the 80’s and 90’s - no reimbursement from the feds to cover the bad decisions they made.

Other diseases - probably 2 being very dangerous - likely to make the news.

So-called “Biden Admin.” will move the goal posts of their narrative, again. Probably blame Trump for *not finishing the fence.*

Same blame game to be played, if a large vaccine reaction develops.

Yes, but the current usurper is not the president.

The president has been victimized by a criminal conspiracy unlike the world has ever seen. And clearly, we are never going to recover from this. This is America's "End Times."

Governors - sorry- need to think more like Trump. And now.

He is not gone. Anyone not protecting us who pay them, who hired them, will be gone.

These guys are not trying. They work for their donors and not for us. They are wrong to assume that’s going to still fly. It is not.

Immigrants. Illegals. Are crossing the border into Texas with positive covid the very week Abbott calls off mask wearing

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.

I think Jen Psaki inferred yesterday that the states (not the federal or border control, etc.) are responsible for COVID issues.

How else are they going to keep mask mandates going and ginning up fear without a steady stream of new “infections”?
