Immigration authorities said they are working with state and local authorities and non-governmental organizations to make sure that all migrants are tested for COVID-19 “at some point during their immigration journey.”
Federal health officials said children at emergency influx facilities are tested for COVID-19 every three days.

@vivify saidThat is incorrect. Hell, one news report was that they only test if they ask to be tested. Get real, they are putting these people on buses and sending them into the interior of our country to be dumped. I wonder how many can speak English.... Or have the ability to get a job since they are illegal technically speaking. They are not citizens. You may disagree, but they are not my brothers like the guys in Chicago are my brothers

@averagejoe1 saidLet me guess: you got that from a conservative source, right?

If you're going to claim a reputable site like PolitiFact is "incorrect", try backing it up with a source of your own. Otherwise, your claim has no value.

Yes, congratulations, US. We now have a policy similar to China that sends escapees from North Korea back to Dear Leader.
If a Cuban escapee makes it to within feet of Miami Beach and never touches soil, he is returned. Nice!!
Apparently, the Republican dialect that these Latinos speak makes them the enemy of the American People!

@earl-of-trumps saidAre you guys against OPEN BORDERS (capitalized for maximum fear factor) or for them?

@no1marauder saidAre you asking us , given our solemn gift of sovereignty which we so treasure, if we are FOR invading aliens to violate our borders, and bring all the havoc that comes with it? No need to elaborate further.

@averagejoe1 saidThen why are you and Earl complaining about Cuban refugees being treated like any other refugees?

@averagejoe1 saidWere the Framers opposed to "our solemn gift of sovereignty"? The country had "open borders" for almost a 100 years after the Constitution was signed.

@vivify saidFair enough. But this one says that there is 'no definitive answer available'. So there it is and there it 'twas.

But I will tell you this.....A person (alien in this case) can be infected, but it not show up when tested. It takes several days. We all know that. So off he goes on the bus to Tupelo MS to be dropped off in front of a 7/11, and he wanders in and out of nothingness, spreading the Virus. Nobody knows him, he knows nobody, He passes out, a stranger gets him to an ER, and Kevin comes to my house for money to get money to pay for his care, which can be for months.
Meanwhile, my granny is on a gurney waiting for a room at that hospital, having paid her way for 88 years, needing the same treatment. Query: Should he be pushed aside and she be given his room? Oh, you dont have to answer. Go chew on a pillow.
Here's a tickler for you: You may say, " Yeah, Joe, but EVERYONE can have the virus not show up for several days!1" Yeah Vivify, but (a conservative lesson for you) He Aint Supposed to BE THERE!!!
I need a scotch. You people are a real trip, you care not about our sovereignty.https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/04/15/fact-checking-claims-about-covid-19-testing-for-migrants-at-the-southern-border/

@AverageJoe1
Somebody please tell Handy and Kevin that the Tupelo MS reference is an analogy of sorts, they are being sent everywhere .
AOC et al will have them in your homes, 1st bedroom on the left, in the not so distant future.

@averagejoe1 saidYour article's source is the same exact PolitiFact link I already posted.
https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/04/15/fact-checking-claims-about-covid-19-testing-for-migrants-at-the-southern-border/
From your link:
Immigration authorities said they are working with state and local authorities and non-governmental groups to make sure that all migrants are tested “at some point during their immigration journey.”
Federal health officials say that the many unaccompanied minors who have arrived are tested every three days — those who test positive are isolated from the rest.
Customs and Border Protection personnel do initial checks for symptoms, and they consult with onsite medical staff. People who are presumed to be sick are sent to local health systems for testing, diagnosis and treatment, according to immigration officials.

@averagejoe1 saidSince even your own source agrees with the PoliFact link that refutes your claim, will you admit you were wrong?
he is letting 200,000 a MONTH come from south america, with or without covid.

@averagejoe1 saidJoe, if by "Kevin" you meant me instead of Kevcvs57, it might surprise you to learn (as it did me) that I am a Log Cabin Republican, per Kevcvs57, who should wash his mouth out with kitty litter. 😉
