South Texas agents drop illegals off at bus stops without COV testing
The Biden administration’s return to catch-and-release protocols at the border has made one South Texas city uneasy.
According to Immigration reform, McAllen Mayor Jim Darling says Border Patrol agents are routinely dropping hundreds of adult migrants traveling with children at a bus station, without screening for COVID-19.
The state has sent 10,000 test kits for local humanitarian groups to administer. Migrants testing positive are quarantined in hotels; the rest board buses for the U.S. interior.
Before Biden, they didn’t have a problem due to rapid expulsions under COVID-19 travel restrictions and use of Trump-era programs like the Migrant Protection Protocols, safe third-country agreements, Prompt Asylum Claim Review and the Humanitarian Asylum Review Process all of which limited the release of migrants into the U.S.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed three executive orders to start the complicated process of rolling back Trump-era restrictions on immigration, frustrating attorneys and advocates who are pleading with the administration to go faster for the sake of their clients.
The executive orders will create a task force to review the Trump administration’s separation of families at the border and an extensive analysis of asylum processing and the public charge rule described as a wealth test for immigrants seeking green cards.
