Border Patrol Reportedly Transporting Covid-Sick Border-Crossers to U.S. Hospitals and Becoming Infected Themselves
By Todd Bensman
Major U.S. media organizations have recently reported that Covid-19 is jumping the Southern border from overwhelmed Mexican hospitals in significant numbers, flooding California and Arizona hospitals along the border. Much of the reporting entirely avoided saying who all of these patients are who are crossing in from Mexico, although the New York Times took pains to emphatically report, with no supporting attribution, as I pointed out in a blog last week, that they were all American expatriates sickened in Mexico or else Mexican "green-card holders" who all would, of course, be entitled to the U.S. intensive care beds.
 

Send Credible-Fear Claimants to Asylum- and Withholding-Only Proceedings: Why wasn't this done when the president asked the first time?

By David North
New data from the U.S. Department of Transportation shows that the virus-caused border restrictions continue to be much more effective on the border with Canada than on the border with Mexico, though the latter border is the more dangerous of the two. We now have border-crossing data for April 2020 to compare with that of April 2019, and we find that in the five largest ports of entry on each border arrivals fell by 97.3 percent on the northern border, as opposed to 70.6 percent on the southern one.
