While Americans are being constantly hounded to get vaccinated, wear masks, and even to avoid traveling across state lines, the Biden administration is welcoming tens of thousands of untested, unvaccinated, illegal immigrants across the border. Estimates from the administration suggest that 20% of the illegal aliens have an “illness.” Phil Shiver reports at The Blaze:
In an admission that may boost claims that the Biden administration’s border crisis is partly driving a COVID-19 surge in the U.S., Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged on Monday that approximately one out of every five migrants entering the country illegally have an “illness.”
The DHS chief did not specify whether the illness he was referring to was COVID-19 during his speech at the virtual Immigration Law and Policy Conference. But he noted in his remarks that the rise of the COVID-19 Delta variant caught him off guard and that amid a pandemic, the U.S. immigration system is not capable of handling a rapid influx of migrants.
We are confronted with a population of people that, as a general matter, have a rate of illness of approximately 20%,” Mayorkas said, according to the Daily Mail. “When one is speaking of 7,000 or 7,500 people encountered at the border every day, if one takes a look at that system, it is not built for that in a Covid environment where isolation is required.”
Action Line: When politicians treat incoming illegal aliens better than citizens, it’s time to look for a better America.
