Biden Admin Importing COVID Into US Through Southern Border

White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer a question on whether the Biden administration justifies asking vaccinated Americans to wear masks while the Border Patrol delivers coronavirus infected migrants into Texas border towns.

"You talked about this administration having a priority of protecting the American people," Fox News' Peter Doocy said to Jean-Pierre Thursday at the White House. "Can you help us understand why is it that the federal government is asking vaccinated Americans to wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19 but at the same time, federal agents are also releasing COVID-19 border crossers into small towns in Texas."

"Well, let's step back for a second," Jean-Pierre responded before being briefly interrupted by a nearby fire alarm that Doocy jokingly suggested was triggered by his question.

Jean-Pierre then told Doocy she would try to deliver him a "30,000-foot view" of the situation and went on to describe the process of placing some migrants into alternative programs rather than detention.

"CBP provides migrants with PPE from the moment they are taken into custody and migrants are required to keep masks on at all times including when they are being transferred or in the process of being released," Jean-Pierre said. "If anyone exhibits signs of illness in CBP custody, they are referred to local health systems for appropriate testing, diagnosis, isolation, and treatment."

Jean-Pierre, seeming to be showing off of a script, added that Border Patrol takes protecting migrants from the virus "very seriously" and complemented local organizations that house migrants.

Doocy's question comes as coronavirus cases among aliens have grown as much as 900% in some areas and Fox News reported earlier this week that illegal immigrants affected with the coronavirus were being delivered to local charities and housed in rural Texas hotels without the understanding of local law enforcement.

Moreover, it was reported this week that two DHS whistleblowers notified of dangerous conditions for migrant children at the border and said they were told to downplay the severity of a coronavirus outbreak among migrant children housed at Fort Bliss.

A top Border Patrol union official is warning that agents are having to release COVID-positive migrants into the U.S. "day in, day out" -- amid the continuing crisis at the border, which also has Border Patrol agents worried about their own health.

"Not everyone we encounter we test, only those that exhibit some type of symptoms and not everybody has symptoms that have it," Chris Cabrera, a vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, said Saturday on "Fox News Live."
