Democrats Demand Open Borders for the Coronavirus
By Front Page Mag. Over 90 Chinese migrants were caught by the Border Patrol trying to enter the United States this year.
According to Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), on February 10, three Chinese nationals were apprehended illegally entering Texas with flu-like symptoms, and had to be quarantined. “Luckily they did not have the coronavirus,” he said. “But this is a wake-up call.” . . .
The last thing that the border states need are infected illegal aliens coming through, blending into the population, and spreading the disease to health care workers, and in poor neighborhoods.
But that’s exactly what the Democrats seem to want.
Senator Elizabeth Warren announced that she was introducing a plan to redirect money from the border wall to fighting the coronavirus. Rarely has there been so literal an example of drilling a hole in the boat and then bailing water faster. And while Warren is an extreme case, every Democrat 2020 candidate wants to dismantle border security and enable the rapid entry of migrants into the United States.

House Republicans Press Trump Officials on Plans to Contain Coronavirus at Border
By The Hill. A group of House Republican lawmakers is calling on the Trump administration to provide information on how it plans to prevent a coronavirus outbreak at the border.
In a letter led by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), the lawmakers pressed the departments of Homeland Security (DHS), Health and Human Services (HHS) and Defense (DOD) on what steps the administration is taking to prevent the spread of the disease in border states and in detention centers.
“Given the porous nature of our border, and the continued lack of operational control due to the influence of dangerous cartels, it is foreseeable, indeed predictable, that any outbreak in Central America or Mexico could cause a rush to our border,” they wrote to HHS Secretary Alex Azar, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday.
“Though today there are no major outbreaks of COVID-19 in Mexico, South, or Central America, there is at least one travel-related case in Brazil, and it can be presumed that we will see the virus spread further,” they noted. “Over time, this could impose a new burden at our southern border that will threaten the safety and health of individuals in the United States and could cause a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions along our border and at detention facilities.” (Read more from “House Republicans Press Trump Officials on Plans to Contain Coronavirus at Border” HERE)
