While\nwarning Americans about rising COVID infections, the Biden administration\ncontinues to move sick migrants into the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incoherence is breathtaking, even for some members of the president\u2019s own party. Rep. Henry Cuellar<\/a>, D-Laredo, is urging the White House to stop releasing thousands of illegal aliens, many of them unvaccinated and untested for coronavirus, into the country\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accusing the administration of \u201ccreating a public health disaster in Texas,\u201d Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a>, a Republican, last week ordered a halt to all non-governmental transport of migrants in an effort to contain the spread of COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But\nbefore troopers could start pulling over vehicles on Texas roadways, U.S.\nAttorney General Merrick Garland sued the state. Oddly, he asserted that\nAbbott\u2019s order was \u201cdangerous\u201d and somehow \u201cexacerbating the spread of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal wrangling over Garland\u2019s\n\u201cfederal supremacy\u201d claims notwithstanding, coronavirus cases are surging at\nthe border. Without testing migrants for the disease, U.S. Border Patrol is\nsending them into communities where they will likely spread infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In one widely reported case, a sickened family<\/a> of illegal aliens recently turned up at a Whataburger in the Rio Grande Valley town of La Joya. Holding official paperwork that gave them 60 days to reach their destination in the United States, none were wearing masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such incidents point to \u201cserious flaws in [the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s]quarantine policies,\u201d says the Center for Immigration Studies<\/a>. \u201cThe administration is handing COVID-positive migrants over to NGOs [non-governmental organizations] with no restrictions on their movement, and no notice to local officials in the places they are housed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House continues to dodge questions<\/a> on why it insists that Americans mask up and get vaccinated while infected migrants are released into the country with flimsy or non-existent health screening. This is toxic-level hypocrisy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the front lines, Border Patrol agents are feeling the ill effects; 80 agents tested COVID-positive<\/a> in the Rio Grande Valley last week. At the same time, reports surfaced that Biden\u2019s Department of Health and Human Services ordered workers to downplay spiking cases of COVID infections in a migrant children\u2019s shelter at Fort Bliss, Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The movement of thousands of untested migrants into the U.S. each week \u201cabsolutely endanger[s]American lives and once again shows this administration puts America last and everyone else first,\u201d concludes Mark Morgan<\/a>, former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, and a senior fellow at FAIR. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While warning Americans about rising COVID infections, the Biden administration continues to move sick migrants into the United States.
