Texas mayor blames Biden for surge in migrant COVID cases
By Emily CraneAugust 5, 2021 | 3:31pm | Updated
The mayor of a Texas border town is lashing out at President Biden after being forced to set up emergency shelters to cater to the 1,500 migrants released into his city this week that have tested positive for COVID-19.
McAllen’s Republican Mayor Javier Villalobos says he has been forced to declare a disaster in his city due to the surging virus cases.
Of the 7,000 migrants released by federal authorities into McAllen in the last week, 1,500 now have COVID, Villalobos said in a Facebook video on Wednesday.
“Lately we’ve been getting about 1,800 immigrants a day,” he said.
“Then, coupled with the fact that 15 percent of the immigrants have COVID, have caused substantial problems to our great city of McAllen.”
