A leader in the Central American community in Phoenix says local groups are banding together to ensure more hard-to-reach migrants are vaccinated against COVID-19 as Arizona struggles to improve its inoculation rates.

“I have been very worried about our people because many of them have not wanted to be vaccinated," the Rev. Antonio Velazquez, an evangelical pastor originally from Guatemala, said Thursday.

The push to vaccinate at least 5,000 migrants from Central America and Mexico begins Sunday at a Spanish-language church in central-west Phoenix, Velasquez said.

He said many who will benefit belong to the indigenous Mam and Quiche groups. Velazquez, a Mam speaker who was hospitalized with the virus last year, said he will get his first shot on Sunday as an example to members of the indigenous Maya community.

Illegals should not be here, duh! But in the real world, LIEden won't deport more than a token few.

So which, in the real world, is better? A bunch of unvaccinated illegals wandering around who could be vectors for outbreaks and might take up hospital beds or illegals getting vaccinated and not being potential spreaders?

I don't much care, as long as they aren't forced to take them.
