Spreading the Chinese Virus doesn’t seem to worry the illegal aliens who keep pouring across the southwest frontier with Mexico.
In the last week, border agents stopped five smuggling attempts, including a tractor-trailer loaded with four dozen illegal-alien miscreants. They also intercepted two sex perverts.
The problem with the continuing flow is no longer just the insidious colonization of the United States by a penniless and largely illiterate mass of humanity that was bringing in diseases long before the Asiatic pandemic paralyzed the country.
Now that the SARS-CoV-2 is spreading widely in Mexico and Central America, border agents must worry about contracting the pathogen from the illegals whom they arrest.
President Trump recently ordered the immediate deportation of illegals to stop them from spreading the virus along the border.
The Latest
The Border Patrol’s biggest haul was in Sarita, Texas, about 65 miles south of Corpus Christi at the Javier Vega, Jr. checkpoint, Customs and Border Protection reported.
Agents stopped a grain-hauling tractor-trailer and sent it for a secondary inspection and search with the agency’s K-9s. The border cops found 48 illegals packed “inside the hauler on top of the grain product,” the agency reported.
All were arrested, and thanks to Trump’s order, won’t have the chance to file bogus asylum claims.
Also yesterday, agents with the station in Lordsburg, New Mexico, stopped a vehicle that crossed the border near Columbus, the site of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa’s cross-border attack in 1916.
“The vehicle was heading north from the U.S. / Mexico international border using backroads and the desert terrain in an attempt to avoid detection,” CBP reported.
The Mexican illegal driver was trying to smuggle a half-dozen illegals in a 1991 Chevy Tahoe. They were immediately deported.
On Wednesday, agents from the station at Deming, New Mexico, caught a gaggle of illegals hiding in the bushes and waiting for a ride into the country so they could disappear.
“As agents were closing in on the illegal aliens hiding in the brush, they observed a suspicious vehicle in the area,” CBP reported. The occupants admitted they were smugglers.
“The driver was found to have an active warrant and was turned over to New Mexico State Police,” the agency reported, and “all the illegal aliens were processed and expelled from the country.”
Agents stopped two more smuggling attempts in Falfurrias and Los Ebanos, Texas.
Yesterday, K-9s at the Falfurrias checkpoint discovered two illegals, one from Mexico and one an unaccompanied minor from Guatemala, packed into the luggage compartment atop a Nissan pathfinder.
On Wednesday, CBP reported, agents chased a vehicle loaded with illegals picked up at Los Ebanos, Texas. That pursuit required multiple agencies and ended in the arrest of the driver and four illegal-alien passengers. Agents also found an unloaded firearm.
More Sex Fiends
Aside from stopping the garden-variety illegal-alien smuggler and cargo, border cops collared two sex fiends this week, CBP reported.
On Tuesday, agents at the border station in Comstock, Texas, caught a 33-year-old Mexican illegal who was convicted of enticing a child in Houston in 2011 and deported in 2018.
On Tuesday, agents at the Uvalde Station were inspecting freight trains when they caught a 40-year-old Mexican. He was convicted of sexual battery in St. Lucie County, Florida, in 2009 and also deported in 2018.
Agents in the Del Rio sector have bagged six sex perverts in the last month, the agency reported.
How Many Illegals Carry Asian Pathogen?
Question is, how many of these illegals carried the Chinese Virus, particularly given the increase of confirmed cases in the region and in Mexico.
On March 18, the day after Trump ordered all illegals deported because of the pandemic, Mexico had reported just 93 cases and no deaths from the Chinese-born malady, while Honduras had confirmed nine with no deaths, and Guatemala six with one death. El Salvador reported no cases.
Those numbers have changed, and dramatically so.
As of today, the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Map shows 585 cases and eight deaths in Mexico.
For the Northern Triangle, the source of the country’s continuing illegal-alien deluge, the figures are these:
• Honduras: 68 cases, 1 death
• Guatemala: 25 cases, 1 death
• El Salvador: 13 cases, 1 death
Those figures will continue increasing, which means border agents face the possbility of contracting the dread viral pathogen from every illegal alien who crosses the border.
In February, as the virus was spreading across the world, border agents caught 37,199 illegals.
