Covid spread

Nearly 7,000 immigrants who tested positive for COVID-19 have passed through McAllen Texas, a city that has become the epicenter of the illegal immigration surge, including more than 1,500 over the past seven days, officials said Wednesday. The disease spreads rapidly and even more so in the crowded conditions at the border. According to the statement, the Respite Center admitted an average of 750 people per day at the beginning of July.“That number, over the course of the month, escalated to over 1,100 people per day, and so far in August has surged to over 1,900 people per day,” the city said. In July 210,000 illegals crossed the border.
