The Border Crossing Covid Problem Is More Serious Than What's Being Reported

AUSTIN, Texas – Last week, a hearse carrying the body of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Marco A. Gonzales slowly wound its way south from the Central Texas hospital where he died of Covid-19, through small towns along the way where mourners lining the roads saluted their last respects. Gonzales, to be buried in the small border city of Del Rio where he worked, was one of at least three front-line Border Patrol agents in Texas to have died of Covid in recent weeks.

There was 20-year veteran Agent Enrique J. Rositas in McAllen and also Agent Agustin Aguilar of Eagle Pass, who will be buried this coming weekend.

Their bodies, burials, and mourning wives and children offer a powerful rebuke to a recalcitrant national media and state and federal office-holders who have largely refused to acknowledge a dangerous ongoing development in the Covid-19 pandemic life cycle. Their fates reflect that a significant percentage of the current hospitalization spikes in the border states of California, Arizona, and Texas are due to a kaleidoscope of legal and illegal border crossings by Covid-sick patients seeking U.S. treatment

I’ll bet you can get HCQ and Zinc at any Farmacia in Mexico. Many people could be a lot safer there than up here, where they will just shove a ventilator tube in your butt and wait for you to die, so as to blame it on Orange Man Bad.

The issue with sick people crossing our borders has been known for months, but you won’t hear it anywhere but here, or sometimes Fox News. Every freaking sick person who comes across the border is VERY SICK and gets treated at the hospitals that are overwhelmed along the border. Meanwhile, in Texas, we have to wear masks and face other restrictions because of the CF in Mexico and our generosity as a nation.

Seems like it’s an issue with Illegals already here. Washington state 43% of our positives are “Hispanic” despite being only 13% of the population.

Uh, you hold this one in your hand, and put this one in your mouth, and this one in your butt... Uhh s**t. No, put this one in your hand ...

That movie is turning out to be a documentary.

My nephew is BP and it's already run through his immediate family. Only hospitalization was a 40 yr old male diagnosed first with asbestosis and then changed to early stage emphysema.
He was told first he only had maybe 5 yrs to live and then "Oooops,never mind!".

I hear you. I’ve worked in hospital ERs and I’m so sick of seeing Mexicans, Central and South Americans jamming them up. No insurance, no money and my taxes have to pay for it. I hate these these people.

They have no pride in themselves nor any compunction at all about breaking the law to enter our country.
