[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1278406]That's how it seems to come off to me.

So you're not OK with this policy to release these people?[/quote]

I guess the question is why are they even bothering testing them if they are just going to release them no matter what the results?

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1278398]This has nothing to do with Trump.

Why are you OK with illegal immigration at all let alone allowing people with COVID to be released to travel all over the place?

I just don't understand why most democrats are fine with unlimited numbers of people breaking our laws. And then on top of it, act like it's no big deal if they have COVID.[/quote]

BS , it has everything to do with trump .Biden has been in office since the Jan 20, it's march 3 and he has already done more to pull this country up then trump did in 4 years and trumpsters like you will attack everything and hate him for it .As for illegal Immigration find one post I said it 's all ok , I'll wait! You reach for what ever just so you can say Biden has screwed up but facts, real ones (not alternative) prove you wrong.

I actually haven't commented much on Biden at all since he's been in office.

However, this stuck out to me. All the talk about being responsible and staying at home, etc., but we're openly releasing illegal immigrants into our country that are positive for COVID. It's very hypocritical at best. Grossly negligent at worst.

You're so obsessed with Trump, everything that happens is looked at by you in a prism of how Trump did something worse, that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. This story has nothing to do with Trump, except to you. Because everything in the world is tied to Trump to you.

Biden administration doesn't get a lifetime free pass to do whatever they want with no criticism.

He's a Black American, West Point graduate, Army Veteran that wants schools to re-open based on science.

Imagine if 108 white conservatives in Texas tested positive for COVID, announced they were all going to bus to somewhere between North Carolina and New Jersey because they want to. Every person on the left would rightfully call them all assholes.

But since Biden is president now, no criticisms allowed. Let people that already broke our laws by coming here illegally also travel wherever with COVID.

If you're OK with the Biden administration letting people with COVID into the country, your opinion on re-opening schools is irrelevant. When your family is impacted, COVID matters, if it's not impacted, COVID doesn't matter. You're a Mr. Convenient when it comes to COVID, therefore your opinion doesn't count for shit.

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1278397]No, the issue is our government letting sick people in to our country when we're dealing with a pandemic. On top of that, they are breaking our laws by coming here in the 1st place.

And they're not immigrants, they're illegal immigrants.[/quote]

Is it because they have been approved for asylum hearing and their trial is pending? I find the whole not quarantining people entering the country odd. I know you and I disagree on our view with immigration but IMO I would think during a pandemic this is a time to have a hard stance on letting people enter the country.

Biden has set the records for executive orders and not having an actual press conferences, not very impressive.

I'll wake up to G1 saying something stupid about how Biden has done more in 2 months than Trump did in 4 years, but if you question that dogshit comment at all, he will say it's not fair to question King Biden after only 2 months.

Cuomo's had a hell of an arc, surprised Chico hasn't jumped on that yet.

He looked like dogshit for his initial handling last year, then NY cleaned it up and the numbers didn't look so bad, now it just looks like his stupid ass was fudging the numbers in the first place. And with the sexual harassment scandal his dumbass just needs to be removed from office. It's amazing to me how many of these presidential aspiration candidates will go to any length to hide things that could hurt their futures.

I'm happy to eat crow on that one, even though I've been indifferent to Cuomo because NY isn't my state. But I feel there's enough smoke there that he needs to leave office, either voluntary or by removal.

Well Trump wasn’t exactly honest about the pandemic either.....
If Cuomo is found to be dishonest about either issue he should step down, just like Trump should have.
It is comical though these Trumpers that are calling for Cuomos head. Trump lied to an entire country and was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

You can't convince me there wasn't 108 white conservatives with covid that decided not to go to DC on Jan. 6th, they probably just didn't get tested because they dgaf unless they were dying.

This whole bitching about 108 people is a minor part of a bigger issue to me which is immigration reform. If you wanted to address it as part of a larger package about how people coming here illegally can get processed through the system quicker to become legal tax-paying citizens, sure I'd have that convo.

But (not for you) the whole illegal immigration issue for conservatives is more about not wanting them here period than it is about how to let them become contributors to the system in the first place. Go ask former top POTUS advisor Stephen Miller how he feels about legal immigration.

I'll accept that I'm partisan (which I am regardless), rather than go back thru all those comments. I moved on from Trump in November, hopefully NY can move on from Cuomo soon.

Whether any of them had COVID or not, I don't know. But they all have something wrong with them mentally. Those people made terrible decisions and now people are dead.

I don't think either side (elected people, not us voters) are interested in actually accomplishing immigration reform. They both just complain about the other side to save face, while they both benefit for themselves and their big donors from illegal immigration, while Americans, including a large section of minorities, get screwed by it.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency has offered local communities funding for testing, but it needs the state to sign off first: “We hope that Governor Abbott will reconsider his decision to reject DHS’s agreement with the Texan local authorities that would enable the very testing of migrant families that Governor Abbott says he wants.”

"We hope that Governor Abbott will reconsider his decision to reject DHS's agreement with the Texan local authorities that would enable the very testing of migrant families that Governor Abbott says he wants," the spokesperson said.

[url]https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/04/politics/abbott-migrants-covid-testing/index.html[/url]

Gov. Greg Abbott appeared this week to rebuff help from the federal government to give coronavirus testing to migrants before they are released from federal custody, saying it's a federal responsibility to screen immigrants coming into Texas.

The announcement came after Abbott, a Republican, repeatedly accused the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden of “releasing immigrants in South Texas that have been exposing Texans to COVID.” The Biden administration denied that Thursday, and CNN reported that Abbott was “stalling” on a federal offer to pitch in on testing migrants.

Asked for evidence of that claim, Abbott's office pointed to news reports from NBC News, Fox News and the New York Post earlier this week that 108 migrants had tested positive since Jan. 25 in Brownsville after being released by federal authorities.

The testing in Brownsville was reportedly administered by the city. NBC reported that 6.3% of the migrants tested were confirmed to have the coronavirus. That rate is smaller than the positivity rate statewide, in which an average of 8.3% of tests came back positive over the past seven days. The 108 tests over the past five weeks is a small share of the more than 3,800 confirmed cases in Cameron County reported by the state since Jan. 25.

That rate is smaller than the positivity rate statewide, in which an average of 8.3% of tests came back positive over the past seven days. The 108 tests over the past five weeks is a small share of the more than 3,800 confirmed cases in Cameron County reported by the state since Jan. 25.

Maybe I am misinterpreting here. This is federal policy when an asylum seeker reaches US soil correct? But the local government is paying for testing? That seems off to me.
