U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) reported the apprehension of approximately 10,000 migrants in the last seven days in the Rio Grande Valley Sector. He said agents apprehended 2,500 in the past two days alone.
“We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option,” Congressman Cuellar said in a written statement. “Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic.”
The Laredo congressman said the illegal border crossings are “potentially exposing border communities to the coronavirus and putting us at risk. Right now, none of the migrants are being tested for COVID-19 by Border Patrol.”
In Brownsville, Texas, city officials said that six percent of the migrants being released at the bus station to obtain transportation into the U.S. interior are testing positive for COVID-19, Breitbart Texas reported. The Brownsville official said they do not have the authority to prevent those who test positive from boarding buses to travel into the U.S. interior. A worker at the bus station told Fox News they cannot ask passengers for proof of coronavirus test results before transit.

Don’t migrants have visa?
Otherwise, they are criminal occupiers?
Henry acts like this is a surprise.
We all knew if Biden got in the flood would start again.
Republicans dangling amnesty as bait is less than helpful...../s
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] “

Fraudulently documented foreigners now have more rights than the citizens.
The death of a Republic is an ugly thing. And we are all cowards standing by watching it happen.
They’re putting illegals on planes and flying them to different destinations in the USA. They could have just as easily flown them to their countries of origin. Illegals admitted to this country are calling family members in those countries and telling them how easy it is to jump the border. Probably also telling them what suckers the gringos are.
If a Texas (D) is bitching this is dire.
Yo! RAT! You're part of the problem!
And when gas hits $8/gallon I could only wish only liberals were hurt.
All it took was for the Biden regime to assume power and, lo and behold, a relatively-quiet southern border under Trump becomes a sh*thole.
They are not migrants. They are invading barbarians.
Just out of curiosity, where were cuellar, and the other TX dems, during the great ice storm of two weeks ago? Why was cruz the only pol singled out for not being in the state?
Dump them in SFO, LA, NYC, Chicongo, etc.
Ship them all directly to D.C. (C.O.D.).
They are just getting fingerprints and a facial recognition photo.
Move along.
the Gov should simply post the NG at the border and tell JB to come down there himself and do something about it if he doesn’t like it. All the optics on this are with Texas
this is absolute horse-sh%^
