President Joe Biden’s administration still has no strict national quarantine policy for migrants who test positive for the coronavirus, according to the White House. White House press secretary Jen Psaki responded to recent reporting from NBC News showing migrants who tested positive for the virus were not prevented by the federal government from traveling into the United States.

Biden said those lifting such restrictions are engaging in “Neanderthal thinking.” Abbott, who announced this week his state would be removing restrictions put in place to mitigate the spread of the virus, said on FNC’s “Fox & Friends” that Biden is engaging in a “Neanderthal-type approach” by releasing COVID-positive illegal immigrants into Texas with his open border policy. “First, obviously it is not the type of thing a president should be saying, but second, he said it on the worst day he could have because the same day he said that, in Texas, the Biden administration was releasing illegal immigrants into our communities who had COVID,” Abbott stated. “The Biden administration was spreading COVID in South Texas yesterday because of their lack of constraint of testing and quarantining, people who had come across the border … [Read more...] about TX Gov.
