The Border Crossing Covid Problem Is More Serious Than What's Being Reported

TownHall
Texas — Last week, a hearse carrying the body of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Marco A. Gonzales slowly wound its way south from the Central Texas hospital where he died of Covid-19, through small towns along the way where mourners lining the roads saluted their last respects. Gonzales, to be buried in the small border city of Del Rio where he worked, was one of at least three front-line Border Patrol agents in Texas to have died of Covid in recent weeks.

There was 20-year veteran Agent Enrique J. Rositas in McAllen and also Agent Agustin Aguilar of Eagle Pass, who will be buried this coming weekend.

Their bodies, burials, and mourning wives and children offer powerful rebuke to a recalcitrant national media and state and federal office-holders who have largely refused to acknowledge a dangerous ongoing development in the Covid-19 pandemic life cycle: their fates reflect that a significant percentage of the current hospitalization spikes in the border states of California, Arizona, and Texas are due to a kaleidoscope of legal and illegal border crossings by Covid-sick patients seeking U.S. treatment.

#2 Border counties have twice the infection rate of the rest of Texas and three times the fatality rate - not sure if the fatalities are all reported back to the initial county but I doubt it.
