Hundreds of Chinese migrants detained at US border amid coronavirus-tied travel ban
fox news ^ | 3/11/2020 | By William La Jeunesse

Since officials first reported the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan in late December and the United States imposed a travel ban for those entering from China, Border Patrol agents have detained 333 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the United States illegally, according to Department of Homeland Security data obtained by Fox News.

While none have tested positive for the virus, the southern border remains a primary focus of the Trump administration, which sees the area as high risk and a gateway for COVID-19 to spread in the U.S.

"We have a unique public health threat posed by individuals arriving unlawfully at the border, where migrants, law enforcement officials, frontline personnel, and the American public are put at risk," said a DHS official who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak publicly by the agency.

Would that be the case under a Biden administration?
I think not.

Why is Mexico not apprehending them? They can’t blend into the population and would be easy to spot and shouldn’t Mexico be concerned about infection of their population?.

This should be used in a TV ad. Show how the rat party opposes border security. Do it today. Get it on the air by tomorrow.

Chinese Mexicans. Or is it Mexican Chinese?

Close the border. Put guard dogs, razor wire, minefields, whatever. Close it!

Mexico let them in. Let Mexico deal with them.

China foreign ministry is now accusing the United States army of introducing the virus into China. They are also making statements that we owe them data and that the United States is hiding its Coronavirus information. The good thing is people here for sure will see how evil China is.

This virus is the best argument against Globalism we are likely to see. The usual suspect are whining about how nationalism won’t stop the virus; well, neoliberalism isn’t offering any answers.

The impact on the stock market should give the Democrats a big opportunity, but their candidate has dementia, and they don’t have any answers.

Next time people illegally enter your home, make sure you don’t shoot them, because you’re not a savage and that would be murder.

Mexico must not be concerned with it’s population contracting the virus from the Chinese.

Let’s get it real, America! They’re not immigrants, they’re colonizadors from China!

This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

This sort of illegal travel probably explains this recent spike in WARS cases here.

That and not shutting down travel from Europe sooner.
