See More than 1,500 coronavirus-positive migrants released in one week into Texas border town
August 4, 2021

”MCALLEN, Texas — A border city in south Texas declared a local disaster this week as it struggles to respond to surging cases of the coronavirus among migrants as thousands are released by the Border Patrol onto the street every week.

Last week, a record-high 7,000 migrants were released in downtown McAllen, where they were immediately tested for the coronavirus through a city contractor. More than 1,500 people tested positive over the past seven days, according to a city document issued Wednesday, compared to a total of 7,000 confirmed cases over the past five months. Those who test positive are told to quarantine for two days but are ultimately released into the public.”

The question is, why is the Biden Administration giving aid and comfort to hundreds of thousands of foreigners invading our southern border?

Not likely any POTUS in modern history would have used their global platform to promote unproven cures, including how injecting disinfectants under the skin would cure Covid

Thanks to the 18 recorded interviews by Bob Woodward of Trump, we know Trump was fully aware of the seriousness of Covid while he persisted in communicating a vaccine would not be necessary as Covid would soon disappear, in April.
It was Fauci in Feb and April who was telling people that COVID might become seasonal. It was Fauci in Feb, who was telling Americans not to be concerned about the virus, and it was okay to go on cruise ships.

It was Trump promoting his "Warp Speed" program to create a vaccine, and you are claiming that Trump was simultaneously "communicating a vaccine would not be necessary???"

The president does not have power over the states. All the president can do is suggest and recommend. Presidents are not kings.

Trump created and promoted his warp speed program and we had vaccines created in seven months. The Delta variant has been around since December 2020, that was seven months ago, so where is Biden's warp speed version of a delta vaccine? Where are Biden's therapeutics for that matter? All Biden has done is sit back and thrown stones at Trump, while claiming credit for the vaccine Trump pushed into production.

Trump was correct when last summer he said we'd have the vaccine in a few months. It was Fauci who pushed back on Trump, and told the press that it would not be ready for 12-18 months. Other Trump critics said even Fauci's pessimistic predictions were overly optimistic, claiming it would be two years before we had a vaccine.

Trump was not responsible for governors who caused deaths with their ignorant mandates. We only had this vaccine now because Trump swept aside the barriers preventing a vaccine. And if people had listened to Trump and put as much effort into testing and creating therapeutics, as they did in attacking Trump, we'd have working treatments and drugs that would be saving lives, and a lot fewer people would be dying.

The dems are insane. They allow Biden to harass Americans to get vaccinated, and yet he is directly responsible for sending hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated illegal aliens into the interior of the USA. These Democrat politicians are two-faced liars and frauds, and sadly the Democrat voters are gullible simps for not holding Biden accountable.

It was locked down.. Florid locked down..in the beginning and it didn't help at all.

The media has supressed needed discussion, failed to challenge conflicting government information and spread false claims about the virus, Trump and China.
Clearly this is TDS. Give it up, he`s not coming back.

What a ridiculous thread.

Blaming "the Trump-hating media" for people not getting vaccinated. What a crock!

Mississippi hospitals are at capacity. Lots of kids. Feds are sending help.

Mobile morgues are being activated.

Enough with the lies and BS. This is serious.

I couldn't rep you again...but...well said!

Not only are democrat voters "gullible simps" but far too many refuse to believe that today's dems are not their father's or grandfather's dems. Those who keep mindlessly voting straight "D" still believe that dems care about them, when the reality is that dems put illegal aliens ahead of Americans.

Neither party is looking our for Americans. However, there was once a time when dems put Americans first and foremost. Sadly, those days are long gone. I always say I didn't leave the democrats. The democrats left me.

Meanwhile in reality the majority of those unvaccinated are Republicans. Must be all the MSNBC those groups watch right?

The media aided Democrats to point fingers and laugh at the suggested use of therapeutics and hydroxychloroquine when Trump and many others suggested it. Now it's suddenly OK to use them all. And you honestly don't think the media had a role in that?


Haha, nice try. Black people are the lowest unvaccinated group in the country, followed by Hispanics.

I don't remember that, no. I remember them making fun of his ideas of using disinfectant and UV light as internal remedies. Which was very well deserved.
