COVID ALERT Put Out By Local Police After Group of Illegal Invaders With COVID Were R
COVID ALERT Put Out By Local Police After Group of Illegal Invaders With COVID Were Released by Border Patrol
By Leisa Audette | Jul 27, 2021
It’s hard to believe but, while the feds are trying to control Americans who haven’t gotten a covid shot, they are releasing covid-positive illegal invaders into America.
How is it that Americans are told to mask up and pressured to get the vaccination but illegals can cough all over the place while infected with covid? Must be the ‘America Last’ policy from the Biden regime.
The CDC backtracked on mask-wearing today to make the “suggestion” to wear masks even if you’ve been vaccinated. Local municipalities are now able to mandate masks. The CDC is not weighing the cost/benefit of what this will do to our children. There should be plenty of pushback from parents. Citizens of California should be livid because of the double standard of letting covid-positive illegals into America.
Yes, the open borders Biden administration is letting covid-positive non-citizens spread around to towns across America. The latest alert comes from la Joya, California, where a restaurant patron noticed a group coughing and called it to the attention of authorities who investigated and found the illegals have covid. They were released by border patrol!
