Border Patrol and ICE have been doing their best to handle what seems to be a never-ending flow of migrants at our southern border. They are dealing with all walks of life that are trying to come to our great country. In fact, some of the migrants are not even from South America, they come from as far as China to enter our country, and therein lies the problem as China is the origin of the Corona Virus. And we are talking about a handful of Chinese migrants, we are talking hundreds.
“Some 328 immigrants from China have been caught crossing the border illegally so far this year, according to Homeland Security data that raises the prospect a coronavirus carrier could sneak into the country via the U.S.-Mexico border.
Three other people from South Korea — another country with rapidly spreading cases — have also been arrested at the border, as have 122 people from the Dominican Republican, where the coronavirus has now been detected.
All told, more than 1,000 migrants a day are caught attempting to sneak in illegally from Mexico, which detected its first case last week, and since has identified five others.
And if that many are being caught each day, an unknown but significant number are getting through undetected, Border Patrol agents say.
“The journey to the U.S. border puts migrants in poor conditions,” a Homeland Security official told The Washington Times. “We don’t know if they have come into contact with someone who has the flu, there is no passport, medical history, or travel manifest.”
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad F. Wolf raised the issue Tuesday with the House Homeland Security Committee, saying that illegal immigration presents a unique threat compared to legal travelers from China, who are being screened on arrival.
“The individuals that are coming in at our 11 airports that are being funneled, we have very good information of their travel history, of their medical history. We’re not going to have that same set of fidelity for the individuals if this continues to grow at the southwest border,” he said.
Mr. Wolf also said the spread of the virus in Mexico creates new complications, after the U.S. has forced tens of thousands of asylum-seekers to wait in that country while their cases are proceeding in American immigration courts.”
If only we had a fully funded barrier like structure along our border. Perhaps it would help to keep some people out. But oh that’s right Dems don’t believe in walls or in many cases border security.
Illegal invaders bringing scabies to Los Angeles, incurable diseases to the border states, now coronavirus from China and Korea and other locales. Selective immigration is not bringing disease, crime, violence, and taxpayer life dependence to America.
you forgot TB…they have brought an antibiotic resistant strain of tb with them
We have an aggravated problem, in that the democrat/progressives have blocked all attempts to get control of our borders, allowing every tom, dick and harry in regardless of gang affiliation, disease, ideology, criminal record, career field, just invading illegally is a felony.. No vetting what so ever, no paperwork what so ever, complete chaos, and 30K per month trying to invade and work the system with their help.. We would be in much better position if the democrats had just stayed home, watched Captain Kangaroo, counted the flowers on the wall, and not interfered with the workings of our gov’t. Replace them with some other animal.. one who can not talk.. they are so so worthless.
I LOVE IT!!! “Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo now don’t tell me…..I’ve nothin” to do” Now that brings back some memories…. and is totally apropos! But we and the President are working on it, we just have to be consistent in who we elect. A Rubber Stamp Rino is better than an all out Lib….. but a good CONSERVATIVE Dem is even better (there are one or two out there.) But the very best candidate is a tried and true Conservative. We NEED TO PUT GOOD CANDIDATES ON THE TICKET FOR ALL OFFICES…..DOWN BALLOT RACES MATTER! Look what’s happening in places like San Francisco, LA, Chicago, Seattle, etc. They have DA’s who are so liberal they’re making up laws to keep criminals from getting arrested….THAT”S RIGHT….JUST READ THE LOCAL NEWS IN KALIFORNIA. Their Governor signed a law allowing illegals fee health care! Not LEGALS…… ILLEGALS! Stay Informed and VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
Democrats do not care what happens to the general public. They are safe behind their gated walls and with their heavily armed guards. Their children are not exposed to the threats ours are as they attend private schools that are also guarded by armed guards. Their children do not attend school with illegal children who carry diseases and spread them through the schools. They do not have to face murderers, muggers, rapist, nor child molesters as they and their families are well protected so allowing these illegals to invade our nation is not a threat to them just to the rest of us. Thus we have had our citizen murdered, raped, robbed, our children raped and killed and we have had citizen infected with all kinds of diseases even die from them and still democrats refuse to secure the borders. After all they do not have to fear any of the results of their action and when it is pointed out to them they get angry anyone would expose the dangerous results of their action. If they and theirs had to face the same dangers as we do things would change in a heartbeat. How about we take a few dozen illegals with TB, leprosy, and various other diseases to congress and share the wealth with them? Oh, that’s right, we wouldn’t get past the front door much less near a democrat.
And we’re paying for the million dollar homes, gated communities, and armed security, but they would have us do without. As that POS arrogant, smug, puffed up with self-importance, Michael Bloomberg said when asked why he could have armed security be we couldn’t…oh he was running for president, he’s very rich, he receives threats. As if the general public isn’t threatened by anything or anyone! That is the out-of-touch with reality of the tyrannical, globalist NWO mentality…all for me, but none for thee! That’s the difference between President Trump and the globalists…Trump is a servant, he takes no salary, and is doing all he can to reduce the waste, give the government BACK TO THE PEOPLE, reduce our taxes, provide employment, make sure our rights and freedoms are intact…while the corrupt LEFT are all about taxing us into poverty, and taking away our freedoms and rights…the Left is all about filling their own pockets with OUR MONEY, then doing nothing for us, but coming back for more of our money!
Do what was dine in the middle ages. Take virus contaminated blankets and persona articles of corona virus fatalities, and lob them over the walls of the Democrats homes and headquarters, along with an infected cadaver or two. Maybe when this affects them, they will take action.
Actually if regular, run of the mill Democrats knew what was going on they would be astounded and just as angry as you and I. But they listen to the drive-by media and all they hear is that insane drivel that keeps telling them he’s a racist, a moron, a liar, a thief,,,,,and they keep pounding away at it! They even believe Adam Schiffless is telling them the truth about the transcript! The ones behind the Gated Walls like “Nan the Scam” Pelosi are are the ones with the armed bodyguards and the kids in private schools. The sad part is that the rest of us have to smell the problems that they’ve created outside those walls Somebody needs to start tossing fresh human Feces (it isn’t hard to find near her house) over her wall just to remind her that it’s her problem also!
Who voted the Dems into Congress? Be mindful of this in November this year!
You’re 100% correct Kay.
When President Trump stopped flights from several countries early on because he was made aware of the situation in China, he was called a racist by the LEFT! When you BREAK INTO SOMEONE’S HOME, YOU ARE NOT CALLED AN “UNDOCUMENTED HOMEOWNER” YOU’RE A DAMN CRIMINAL!!! And these people ARE criminals by the very act of BREAKING INTO OUR COUNTRY!!! SANE, THINKING PEOPLE want to be safe from invaders, rapists, drug dealers, child sex traffickers, kidnappers, terrorists, or anyone who may carry a contagious disease! But evidently not the morons on the LEFT! SANE, THINKING PEOPLE WANT TO BE protected from diseases we had eradicated from our country! YET we are called racists by the non-thinking LEFT. I worked for Homeland Security Immigration Health, and every person captured by ICE, not just at the border, but all over this country…illegals caught committing other crimes, like selling drugs, prostitution, robbery, home invasions, child sex trafficking, were caught because the police WORKED WITH ICE to protect US. But the ignorant LEFT don’t want the police to protect us or work with ICE. Every illegal is screened for Tuberculosis…and MANY have it or are TB suspect. But the ignorant LEFT think these people should just be allowed to roam freely in our country, spreading highly contagious diseases! The southern border has ILLEGALS coming from all over the world…INCLUDING CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, ITALY, RUSSIA, ENGLAND, the MIDDLE EAST and beyond. But now suddenly, because the no common sense LEFT are experiencing the PREDICTABLE RESULTSt of their dangerous open border invitation stupidity, now they’re bi*ching and accusing President Trump of not doing enough! So which is it, you media brainwashed, trained circus seal morons!!!? Either we protect our borders, etc., or risk diseases from with ILLEGALS breaking into our country. Make up your frigging minds! You disgusting, virtue signalling HYPOCRITES!
Close the borders…NO ONE IN. That should help things a little.
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED MORE THUMBS UP! That’s One thin that would help….Absolutely
Illegals have already brought in illnesses we had eliminated years ago. All illegals need to be deported, it isn’t rocket science. They broke the law, send them back, no taxpayer funded assistance!!! They are having more anchor babies on our soil than our own citizens, no citizenship to anyone illegally entering our country and having a baby. Stop the anchor baby citizenship. 14th Amendment wasn’t legislation that applied to illegals. This is madness, we can’t take care of our own but Democrats go out of their way to further bankrupt our country to take care of illegals. Total insanity!!!!!
I agree No Anchor Baby Citizenship AT ALL…..EVER! You broke the Law to get in and now you will be sent out…..No More Messing Around……No More Special Meals……GO we didn’t ask you to come here so get out and hitch hike back to your home! I know it’s harsh…..but you knew it was illegal when you started your journey. Oh and if you try it again….you’ll go to a Mexican Prison
These treasonous hypocrite libs(lying sack of Schiff) don’t know the meaning of the truth! They are at it again and just as mentally deranged as the rest of the Globalists NAZI Muslim Commie Liberal Demoncrats! Deep State, Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Hollywood, Academia, Fake News, Swamp News and you know the rest!! Expose, Boycott, Sue, prosecute and bring to justice all these lying Fake News deep state treasonous Godless NAZI commie liberal demoncrats and RINOs (Mutt Romney, Susan Collins, Lindsey Grahams ,Murkowski, Justice Roberts, Bolton and you know the rest of the traitors) post-haste,Patriots! Drain the rat infested swamp President Trump!
I AGREE DRAIN THE SWAMP….but NR I think you’ve had one too many there pal! When you wake up tomorrow you may feel a little differently
Build the darn wall.
You mean Keep building the durn wall, right?
This virus is a good way to shut down all borders. For a stipulated time to see if anyone can pass the incubation period. If one case if found, EXTEND THE PERIOD of time the borders will be closed. We do not have to take in people who would wipe us out. Let China deal with their own mess.
Absolutely that would be a “Game-Changer”
I am fast getting to the point where I say it is time we open fire with live loads. I don’t think that protecting your nation would make that action murder either. We are being invaded, plain and simple. We are under attack. The normal person defends their home when it is under attack. First you ask them to stop breaking in, then you shoot to defend your family, your life and your property. That is exactly what opening fire at the border would be…protecting your family, self and your home, from invading forces using everything from financial destruction, to toxic warfare with biological weapons. We have the born right to self defense.
