'It's Truly a Public Health Crisis.' One Border Town Is Busing Hundreds of Untested Illegals to Austin and Houston Every Day

Bryan Preston-Opinion : Aug 12, 2021  PJMedia.com

Once they test positive, you have to quarantine them. So…just pretend there's no pandemic and don't test them. That's pretty much the policy.

[PJMedia.com] KXAN TV in Austin reports that Laredo, a city on the Texas border with Mexico, is shipping hundreds of illegal aliens north to Austin and east to Houston every single day. None of them are being tested for COVID. (Screengrab image)

Calling it a "public health crisis," the mayor of Laredo told Border Report on Wednesday that his South Texas city is sending busloads of migrants to Austin and Houston without testing them for coronavirus.

Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz said the city is sending four charter buses per day with a total of 200 migrants who have been sent by Border Patrol from the Rio Grande Valley to Laredo. The migrants, mostly all families, have legally been released by federal authorities to travel in the United States...

...McAllen is where the illegals are first taken into custody by Border Patrol. It's also one of the crisis cities Kamala Harris stayed 800 miles away from when she visited El Paso.

They're being sent to Laredo because McAllen has no room for them. Laredo is so overwhelmed that it's shipping them on to Austin—the state's capital, which defunded its police and has its own homeless camping crisis that no one on the city council is willing to deal with—and Houston. Houston also has massive homeless camps. Laredo is 4.5 hours from Austin and 5 hours from Houston. This has the makings of a COVID tinderbox, which Biden and the Democrats will undoubtedly blame on the state's Republican leadership and not their own border policies.

The reason none of these illegal aliens is being tested for COVID is a head-shaker.

"These migrants aren't being tested. Border Patrol doesn't test them. We much less don't have the infrastructure of testing and quarantining. When you test then if they're positive then there's an obligation there, or duty, to quarantine and that's expensive and the NGOs don't really have that capacity here locally," Saenz said.

Once they test positive, you have to quarantine them. So...just pretend there's no pandemic and don't test them. That's pretty much the policy.

Or you can do what Catholic Charities has done in La Joya, Texas, and stash them in hotels without quarantining them.

Laredo—Mayor Saenz is a Democrat, by the way—tried to put a stop to this by filing a lawsuit to stop the federally funded buses from coming up from McAllen. That hasn't stopped a single bus... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
