Funny how Varvel never noticed when Trump banned ethnic Chinese who were born in China but not anyone else who had been living in China for quite a while (years, in some cases) from coming into the United States (his so-called ban on Chinese). Apparently he and his “administration” felt that only those with Chinese DNA could carry the virus, which he downplayed so much that he put off any research into it.
It took me three tries to figure out what Varvel’s point was. Because, of course, it’s not a VALID point, not a REAL point, but very much a RIGHT WING TALKING POINT.
All the left wingers burying their collective heads in the sand, sticking fingers in their ears going “la-la-la” and ignoring images of kids on the border wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with “Thank You Biden”. Downplaying tragic stories such as that SUV crammed with 25 illegals that got T-boned by a truck resulting in 16 deaths. Likewise thinking that none of them are carrying the virus and spreading it across the nation.
Appears that Varvel will do almost anything { distort, distract, deflect, demean himself } to get an invite to play a round of golf with Graham and the COVID-19 Denier-in-Chief!
Totally ignoring that efforts were made have those recently processed and released tested for Covid and quarantined if necessary, but Abbott stalled and made sure that didn’t happen. TX can just eat that with no salt.
Old, Sleepy Joe is now sending members of his staff to the Texas border to check things out…….after the damage has been done. It will be that way about many troubledspots for the next four years.
“Felipe Romero, an official in Brownsville, Texas, told Fox News that the 108 positives represent 6.3% of the number of total migrants who have been rapid-tested at the city’s main bus station, where they are being released by the Border Patrol.”
“He added that Brownsville did not have the authority to prevent those who tested positive from traveling elsewhere.”
From NBC News:BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Miriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities.
A few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive.
“Right now we were tested for Covid and they separated about eight of us because we were positive,” she told Noticias Telemundo Investiga. “We are waiting right now.” She was waiting to catch a bus to Houston.
Other migrant families who also said they had tested positive were waiting to go to other destinations: North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.-——————————-Varvel critics say he and NBC are lying. There is no Miriam Izaguirre, no 8 other COVID carrying illegals, no Browsville Texas; there is no COVID test, and no Houston. There is also no incompetent named Joe Biden in the White House.
I see Ol’ Gary is huffing glue again. Because clearly half a million dead Americans can’t be the Cheeto’s fault, so it must be those damn brown people, right?
Well, it looks like there will be almost all people vaccinated by summer, so once again Varvel suffers from foot in mouth disease, probably caught from his head up RUMP’s ass the last 4 years. Gary should wear a mask when he’s paid.

Pretty racist. Also, with all that “free stuff” nonsense, pretty ignorant, too.

I’m not afraid of immigrants giving me Covid-19. I’m afraid of Texans, Mississippians, Arizonans, South Dakotans….

That guy letting the coronavirus in doesn’t look like Texas governor Greg Abbott announcing that he’s lifting the mask mandate.
It’s not “free stuff” it’s things our tax dollars are used for, and many undocumented workers pay taxes:

That’s more than you can say about many large profitable corporations:

Cruz went to Mexico! Do Mexicans really want to go to Texas to die from the cold or from COVID?

As I understand the lib position here, a few more COVID positive cases are worh the risk if they can import more illegal Democrat votes.

Most illegals arrive by plane and simply melt into the crowd when they are supposed to go home.
