SourceIn his first address to the nation from the White House, President Joe Biden urged Americans to continue following Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines to protect against the Chinese coronavirus but gave no similar warnings to the thousands of foreign nationals arriving at the United States-Mexico border.
Since the start of his administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revamped the Catch and Release program. To date, Biden does not require coronavirus tests for border crossers before their release. Only migrants enrolled in the Remain in Mexico program are required to take tests.
Reports by NBC News this month confirmed that between January 25 and March 1, almost 110 border crossers released by Biden’s DHS had ended up testing positive for the coronavirus. The total number of coronavirus-positive border crossers being released is likely much more, as the data was collected from only one region in Brownsville, Texas.
Even after border crossers test positive, they are not required to quarantine. Instead, many continue traveling into the U.S. interior to various states.
