The Biden administration and a federally funded private outfit are releasing illegal aliens with the China Virus into La Joya, Texas.
The latest on Sleepy Joe’s border policies, which have led to border agents apprehending more than one million since October 1, comes from the La Joya Police Department. An officer with the department nabbed a gaggle of COVID-positive “migrants” at a restaurant. Cops also observed other possibly sick illegals running about town.
The conditions in La Joya and surrounding Hidalgo County are such that a county judge has demanded that Biden stop releasing the infected foreigners.
Police Report
News of the virus-laden illegals surfaced in a Facebook post from La Joya police on Sunday.
A cop was “waved down by a concerned citizen” who “observed a family group who were not being observant of proper health guidelines. She stated that the family was coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths and were not wearing face masks,” the post said.
Location: A Whataburger.
Understandably, management “wanted the people to leave the establishment due to their disregard to other people’s health,” the post continued:
The Officer approached the family and was told by them that they had been apprehended by Border Patrol days prior and were released because they were sick with Covid-19.
It was also learned that the family was housed at the Texas Inn Hotel … by a charity group.
Officers made contact with Hotel management who explained that Catholic Charities of The Rio Grande Valley had booked all the rooms in the hotel to house undocumented immigrants that were detained By Border Patrol.
Actually, they weren’t “detained.” Otherwise, they wouldn’t be spreading viruses from one end of the city to the other.
Anyway, “officers also observed that a group of 20 to 30 people staying at the hotel were out and about the majority without face masks,” the post continued:
People being detained by Border Patrol that showed symptoms of illness or were positive for Covid-19 were being quarantined by the agency and then later they were given custody to Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley to be placed in hotels in the McAllen area as well as La Joya….
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley did not inform the La Joya Police Department that people that had symptoms or were sick with Covid-19 were going to be placed in the Texas Inn Hotel.
Judge to Biden: Stop Releasing Infected Illegals
No wonder Judge Richard Cortez demanded that Biden stop his superspreader immigration policies.
“Faced with multiple reports that migrants are being released in Hidalgo County infected with COVID-19, I am calling on federal immigration officials to stop releasing these migrants into our communities,” he tweeted yesterday.
“We have been doing well as a community in slowing down the spread of this deadly virus. But ill-conceived policies by both the federal and state governments are beginning to have serious consequences on Hidalgo County,” Cortez wrote.
But neither does Cortez like Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s relaxed rules on masking and so-called safety precautions:
We now face a potential crisis because of the federal policy of releasing infected immigrants into our community, coupled with the state policy that prohibits us from implementing essential safety measures.
This is unacceptable.
In June, GOP Senator Ted Cruz and others blamed the rise in virus cases in South Texas on Biden. A new policy that would worsen the problem is terminating Title 42 of the federal code, which permits border agents to expel diseased illegals immediately. Leftist groups are pushing Biden to stop the expulsions.
“The Biden border crisis is getting worse and worse every day,” Cruz said: We are on pace for over 2 million people to cross illegally into this country. We have the highest level of illegal immigration in over 20 years.
We’re in a pandemic. Joe Biden likes to talk about what a priority he puts on the pandemic. Understand this, if the Biden administration ends title 42 they will be releasing illegal immigrants in your community who are COVID positive. We’re seeing COVID positivity rates rising in South Texas. We’re seeing COVID positivity rising in Laredo. We’re seeing COVID positivity rising in San Antonio. Just yesterday, I spoke with the mayor of Uvalde, Texas, who said as a result of the illegal immigrants being released — in Uvalde they’re seeing COVID positivity spiking up. And Biden wants to release even more COVID positive illegal immigrants. This is lunacy.
As The New American reported in June, Biden hasn’t just been releasing “migrants” into unsuspecting communities in Texas. He’s flying them around the country and dropping them into the heartland. Once there, of course, they’ll never be forced to leave.
