New reports show that COVID-19 cases in the Rio Grande Valley section of the border are up nearly 900%. The Biden administration has struggled to get a grip on the virus and emerging cases at the border as more and more migrants cross into the country and quickly overwhelm border officials.

Fox News reports:

There were 135 detainees who tested positive in the first two weeks of July alone, marking a 900% increase in confirmed positive cases compared to the previous 14 months.

The RGV sector is one of the main destinations for migrants crossing the border, seeing more than 2000 apprehensions each day and accounting for 60% of confirmed positive detainees in the U.S. Border Patrol custody.

In a local radio interview with KURV 710 AM Tuesday in McAllen, Texas, RGV Sector Chief Brian Hastings spoke about COVID cases among agents and said he’s had more than 40 of his agents test positive this fiscal year.

Border Patrol does not typically test migrants when they are initially taken into custody — instead they are tested when they are transferred, either to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) custody if they are unaccompanied children, or to nongovernmental organizations if they are part of a family unit for transport into the U.S.



  1. Exactly what the Dems want! Keep Covid alive–it works so well for controlling gatherings of Americans, keeps the nation preoccupied with “crises,” further destroys our middle class and small businesses, and allows for continuing of demonization of Trump. What a boon for those evil creeps!

  2. Bringing infected illegals into the country then flying them all over our country is a great idea. Tell us covid is spreading again and blame Americans who didn’t get the vaccine. What a bunch of useless morons in office.

    1. I would LOVE to see where all these people have flown too. What state a& cities…. BET Bottom Dollar that that is where the new explosion is!!!!

  3. A yet they are distributing these hoards all over the United States from military bases to city airports in the dead of night.

  4. And why don’t they test these illegal i migrants at the border? When legal immigrants arrived at Ellis Island, they were examined for various mental and physical diseases, determined if they would be self supporting or vagrants, and screened for anarchists and communists. Those who did not pass the tests, were sent back. Seems like a good idea to me.

    1. Things that make scenes are wasted on Dems. Unless it gives them control, and lines their pockets. They don’t care about the people, or the nation.

  5. It had run it’s course so we needed to import a million sick people and distribute them all over the Country. Thanks Biden you Idiot!

  6. Time for Biden to resign, get impeached, We have President Biden letting our Country go down the drain, in a democrat flurry of corruption, this guy spends his day eating ice cream, while death surrounds his every feeble decision, he allows made.

  7. As I recall, when our Imbecile-in-Chief revoked Trump’s system, everyone with a functioning brain predicted a number of colossal problems. A resurgence of Covid was just one. Others include skyrocketing crime rates. Growing DUI injuries. Frequent sexual abuse. Violence triggered by intoxication. Overcrowded jails. Collapsing schools. Welfare coffers running dry. And on and on. Only a coprolitic imbecile would not see this approaching catastrophe.
