According to FEMA, less than 6% of Covid tests of immigrants at the US-Mexico border had come back positive, lower than the overall positivity rate in Texas.
I don't recall anyone claiming the illegals are the cause of the rise in infection. The argument I've heard is that a third of the illegals are refusing to be vaccinated and are being dumped in cities all over the U.S. If the administration is so concerned about the spread of the virus and is clamping down on American citizens why aren't they refusing to allow illegals entry into the country unvaccinated?
