Greyhound Wants COVID Tests for New Riders
[Brietbart] The president CEO of Greyhound bus company and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are pushing back against President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for their open border policies, including allowing illegal aliens inside the country without testing individuals for the coronavirus."Our top priority is the safety of our employees and passengers," Greyhound CEO David Leach wrote in a letter sent to DHS. "We need assurance that any detainees released by ICE have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, similar to the proof required for international airline passengers who arrive at U.S. ports of entry." But your new riders are going all over the country to visit their friends and family!  "Greyhound already asks our customers to stay home and not travel if they are not feeling well or have been diagnosed with COVID," the letter said. "However, migrants simply do not have that choice unless the government or their sponsors house them while they quarantine."Gonna need some more cages! Whaddabout the optics? "Therefore, it is critical to public safety that ICE provide 100 percent assurance that no one released that can be reasonably expected to ride a Greyhound bus be infected with COVID-19 (or mixed with other potential passengers that have tested negative)," Leach said in the letter. Leach also announced that he has requested additional financial aid from the federal government if the company is expected to transport thousands of illegal aliens around the country. And another thing - "We simply do not have buses and drivers ready to meet surges in demand without emergency funding," Leach said in the NBC report. "In order to properly serve immigrants coming into the southern border and traveling to their sponsor destination, Greyhound will be operating one-way moves throughout the country and in order to get the resources back (buses and drivers) to the border to continue operations, Greyhound needs funding assistance to cover the costs of repositioning buses and drivers from other parts of the country to wherever they may be needed."
