CBP chief: We must secure border from COVID danger

Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan described efforts of the agency's task during the coronavirus pandemic saying, "illegal immigration, it continues -- putting American lives at risk." (August 6)

MARK MORGAN: Despite the dangers posed by COVID-19, illegal immigration, it continues, putting American lives at risk. Migrants continue to ignore their country's stay-at-home guidance as well as they continue to ignore the guidance of global medical experts. American citizens have made tremendous sacrifices as we fight the spread of this disease and fight to strengthen our economy.

As the US continues takes on the challenges posed by COVID-19, we must secure our borders from illegal aliens who show their complete disregard of even the most basic application of health and safety precautions which have become our new norm against COVID-19. CBP has already lost 10 personnel in the line of duty because of COVID, 10 already. In my opinion as acting commissioner, there is no doubt that title 42 has prevented more tragic loss among our own workforce.

What we're trying to-- the best we can is remove all individuals, regardless of whether they're [? childrens, ?] minors, or that they're adults. We're trying to remove them as fast as we can to not put them in our [? congregate ?] settings, to not put them into our system, to not have them remain in the United States for a long period of time.

Once again, Trump blames Asians ("Kung Flu&quot , African Americans (BLM Protesters), and of course, Trump's old stand-by, Mexico for his failures in responding to COVID-19. While Trump offers no solutions, he will always have a scapegoat.

like Portland, you fascist nitwit! Imagine how secure the borders would be if you focused your agents time on the borders instead of serving as Trump's brownshirts suppressing dissent!
