Unmasking Biden’s COVID Hypocrisy at the Border

Whereas
warning People about rising COVID infections, the Biden administration
continues to maneuver sick migrants into the US.

The incoherence is breathtaking, even for some members of the president’s personal occasion. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, is urging the White Home to cease releasing 1000’s of unlawful aliens, lots of them unvaccinated and untested for coronavirus, into the nation’s inside.

Accusing the administration of “making a public well being catastrophe in Texas,” Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, final week ordered a halt to all non-governmental transport of migrants in an effort to comprise the unfold of COVID.

However
earlier than troopers may begin pulling over autos on Texas roadways, U.S.
Lawyer Common Merrick Garland sued the state. Oddly, he asserted that
Abbott’s order was “harmful” and one way or the other “exacerbating the unfold of COVID-19.”

Authorized wrangling over Garland’s
“federal supremacy” claims however, coronavirus circumstances are surging at
the border. With out testing migrants for the illness, U.S. Border Patrol is
sending them into communities the place they may doubtless unfold infections.

In a single extensively reported case, a sickened household of unlawful aliens just lately turned up at a Whataburger within the Rio Grande Valley city of La Joya. Holding official paperwork that gave them 60 days to succeed in their vacation spot in the US, none have been sporting masks.

Such incidents level to “severe flaws in [the Department of Homeland Security’s]quarantine insurance policies,” says the Heart for Immigration Research. “The administration is handing COVID-positive migrants over to NGOs [non-governmental organizations] with no restrictions on their motion, and no discover to native officers within the locations they’re housed.”

The White Home continues to dodge questions on why it insists that People masks up and get vaccinated whereas contaminated migrants are launched into the nation with flimsy or non-existent well being screening. That is toxic-level hypocrisy.

On the entrance traces, Border Patrol brokers are feeling the ailing results; 80 brokers examined COVID-positive within the Rio Grande Valley final week. On the identical time, studies surfaced that Biden’s Division of Well being and Human Companies ordered employees to downplay spiking circumstances of COVID infections in a migrant kids’s shelter at Fort Bliss, Texas.

The motion of 1000’s of untested migrants into the U.S. every week “completely endanger[s]American lives and as soon as once more reveals this administration places America final and everybody else first,” concludes Mark Morgan, former performing commissioner of Customs and Border Safety, and a senior fellow at FAIR.
