DHS Admits Coronavirus-Positive Border Crossers Increasingly Arriving in U.S.John Binder 12 Aug 2021
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seemingly admitted Thursday that the rate to which border crossers infected with the Chinese coronavirus are arriving in the United States is increasing.
During a press conference in Brownsville, Texas, Mayorkas admitted that federal immigration officials “are seeing an increase in positivity rate among the migrant population” after weeks of the establishment media claiming that coronavirus-positive border crossers have little-to-no impact on the nation’s ongoing surge of cases.
Without revealing specifics on the positivity rate of border crossers, Mayorkas said those arriving at the southern border infected with coronavirus are similar to the rate those testing positive in American communities along the border.
“Our capacity to test, isolate, and quarantine the vulnerable population that makes a legal claim for asylum is stretched,” Mayorkas said. “The rate of positivity among the migrants is at or lower than the rates in our local border communities.”
