Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday that "part of the problem" with rising COVID-19 cases in the United States is unvaccinated immigrants entering the country via the southern border.

"Part of the problem is the southern border is open and we’ve got 88 countries that are coming across the border and they don’t have vaccines so none of them are vaccinated and they’re getting dispersed throughout the country," Reynolds told reporters Tuesday.

Reynolds spokesperson, Pat Garrett, shared a Fox News article reporting that 135 detainees in the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas tested positive for COVID-19 in the first two weeks of July, an increase compared to previous months.

I have to disagree with the governor here.  It isn't because immigrants are unvaccinated.  It is because immigrants who are actively infected with Covid are put on planes immediately after illegally crossing the border, flown all over the country, and clandestinely offloaded into local societies without notice and without ever being tested for the virus.

Wow, that is even worse.  These people were actually tested.  And after a positive result, our federal government released into society without warning.

And they send them to Florida with the express purpose of inflating their infection rates to make DeSantis look bad.
