Texas border town doctor pleads with Biden: Halt 'grossly irresponsible' policies until COVID surge contained
Fox News
A prominent family medicine doctor based in a Texas border city pleaded with the Biden administration on Thursday to halt all border activity as his community grapples with a troubling influx in COVID-19 cases.
An MSNBC opinion columnist similarly declared that the surge of COVID in Texas "isn't due to immigrants." "In this cloud of COVID, we also have other infectious diseases that we have to be concerned about, and nobody's talking about it." But, as the rate of COVID-positive migrants continues to soar at the U.S. southern border, health care providers in neighboring towns are growing increasingly alarmed over the welfare of their residents. Dr. Antonio Falcon, a highly regarded physician in the border town of Rio Grande City, Texas told Fox News that his practice has seen a significant "uptick in cases in the last couple of weeks." Falcon's region reported a 900% increase in the number of illegal detainees who tested positive for COVID-19 last month.More Related News
