DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admits he DIDN'T expect the Delta surge at the border and says 1 in 5 migrants have an 'illness' after Trump claimed they're bringing 'contagious diseases'
2021-09-28
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • 'I did not expect to be in late September where we are' Mayorkas said

  • Trump, on Monday, claimed that the migrants had been released 'with no vetting, checking or even minimal understanding of who they are'

  • Images show Haitian migrants playing games on a beach in Columbia as tourists walk by, seemingly not phased as they continue enjoying their vacation

  • Some Haitians were seen playing games, including dominoes, with fellow Venezuelan travelers who are also hoping to seek asylum in the U.S.

  • The photos from the beach paint a strikingly different narrative than images showing caravans of migrants attempting to cross through jungles, rivers and other dangerous conditions

  • The newly released images come as the American government has admitted that 12,000 Haitian migrants have been released into the U.S.

  • Mayorkas claims that number could go up as 5,000 other cases are still being processed

#7  No doubt he would have realized about the disease angle, had he thought about it — lack of vaccinations being a characteristic of Third World countries — but I have no doubt it never occurred to him to think about it. Because thinking about it would require accepting the premise that America is superior in at least one way that matters. (And if in one way, than possibly in others, as well.)

#6  Well the democrat party line is that the illegals at the southern border are perfectly formed humans, ready to become Americans.

reality begs to differ.

Lysenkoism has found a home in the democrat party.

#3  Didn't expect the invaders to be carrying communicable diseases? Then he should not be in this position--he is just another useless Dem left-wing sychophant.

Any dumb butt could have predicted that a mass of 3rd world illegals would be infected, given the infection rates widely reported south of the border.
