Gov. Abbott was 110% correct ... the Biden administration only cares about imposing Covid restrictions on U.S. citizens, but doesn't give a sh!t about releasing infected foreign invaders willy nilly into the U.S. population. Assholes. Worthless assholes.

Illegal immigrants who were apprehended by immigration officials did not receive COVID-19 tests before being released into the U.S.
During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday about the crisis at the U.S. border, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted that illegal immigrants apprehended and subsequently released into the United States did not receive COVID-19 tests, Townhall reported.
Mayorkas admitted to the problem after Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) questioned him about an NBC News article that reported asylum-seekers who tested positive for COVID-19 were released in Brownsville, Texas. The immigrants took the tests after being released by Border Patrol.
“The city of Brownsville administers these rapid tests at the bus station, after migrant families are released by the Border Patrol. A spokesperson for Brownsville confirmed that, since they began doing these tests Jan. 25, 108 migrants have tested positive for Covid-19, which is 6.3 percent of those who took the test,” the outlet reported.
Those who tested positive were still able to board buses to other places within the U.S. even after they tested positive, NBC reported.
In response to Clyde’s questioning, Mayorkas admitted that such a risk had taken place.
“There were times earlier when individuals were apprehended, and we sought to expel them, and we were unable to expel them, and we were compelled to release them, and we did not have the opportunity to test them. We have addressed that situation,” Mayorkas said, according to Townhall.
Mayorkas, you are a lying sack of sh!t. You never sought to expel them, in spite of the fact that you were able to expel them - you simply chose not to do so, even though that cowardly decision endangers the American people who you are supposed to be protecting. But, you don't care about protecting the American people ... all you care about is stuffing the voter rolls for the Democrat Party.
The following exchanged occurred, as reported by Townhall:
“Right now, you’re telling me that no one is released into our country that is COVID-19 positive?” Clyde asked.
“Congressman, allow me to repeat myself if I may,” Mayorkas replied.
“Well, that’s just a yes or no question. Just yes or no,” Clyde interjected.
“Congressman, if I may? The situation at the border is complex ... It is our policy to test and to quarantine,” Mayorkas said.
Clyde then asked if DHS is executing that policy “100 percent.” Mayorkas said DHS is “working the best we can” to ensure the policy is followed.
Ah, Mayorkas ... you dissembling lil' rat ... the border situation is complex for you because Biden and his administration have done everything to INVITE this surge at the border and you desperately want to facilitate this foreign invasion ... BUT, at the same time, you don't want to admit your traitorous complicity to the American people. So, Mayorkas ... you're working the best you can to ensure Biden's policy of allowing the nation to be illegally invaded by foreigners is being followed, eh? Yeah ... no doubt.
