About 25% of the migrants dropped off in a Texas border town tested positive for coronavirus, according to the director of the homeless shelter where Border Patrol agents are releasing the illegal immigrants they are catching, The Washington Times reported on Monday.

Shelter director Bill Reagan told a recent Harlingen City Commission meeting that there is not much that can be done, explaining, “We can’t quarantine them. Even though they test positive, they’re going to leave the next day. They’re going to get on the bus or the airplane, and they’re gone.”...

...Local officials in Arizona told The Washington Times that they don't have the capacity to test the migrants for COVID-19 or house them, and nonprofit groups were either not equipped or also did not have that capacity.

Reagan said that, in any case, the testing itself “is really almost useless because these folks have been in detention together, they’ve been in close quarters under difficult circumstances for weeks sometimes, they’ve been brought together on the bus.

Abbott needs to exercise his authority here to protect Texas citizens by immediately taking into custody all illegals released into Texas by ICE.

This is our territory to protect, not the federal government's, which has no interest in anything but illegally scoring political points by wrecking havoc with a red state.

There is a federal law on the books which states it is illegal to come into this country.  Why not pass a law stating Texas will enforce the same law as the feds?
