Joe Biden’s Border Crisis Intensifies as COVID Spread at the Border Becomes a Concern

As the Biden Administration weighs reinstating covid restrictions on the American people, they continue to ignore a hotbed for the coronavirus, our southern border. Migrant shelters are overflowing as Customs and Border Patrol reports arresting more than 20,000 illegal immigrants in one week alone.  Recently, Covid cases among illegal migrants have surged 900 percent, a threat to public health and the economic recovery. 

The Biden-Harris administration’s failures at the border drew sharp criticism from Republicans and Democrats.

Fox News: “Mexico is not where we’re at, the Northern Triangle countries aren’t where we’re at, there are multiple countries in Western Hemisphere that are not where America is at when it comes to vaccines and dealing with COVID,” former acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan told Fox News this month. “But they’re still going to open it up to people in these countries to come from, to transverse through to get to our country, and allow them in — it’s absolutely endangering American lives and once again shows this administration puts America last and everyone else first.”

Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar called out the Biden-Harris administration’s hypocrisy, allowing only illegal immigrants — but not legal ones — to enter the country without a negative Covid test.

Officials, who had expected border crossings to slow during the hot summer months, are reporting apprehending record-breaking numbers of illegal migrants.

Daily Caller: The number of encounters was widely expected to decrease at the beginning of summer, My RGV reported. However, border officials encountered nearly 190,000 migrants in June, up from around 180,000 in May, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Bottom Line: Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border threatens the country’s security, our fight against the COVID pandemic, and the fragile economy.
