House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters at a press briefing from the southern border on March 15 that doctors at the U.S.–Mexico border in Texas told him that 10 percent of illegal immigrants are testing positive for the CCP virus before being released into surrounding communities.
“When I talk to the doctor to see when they’re being tested for COVID, when they get out, more than 10 percent are testing positive,” McCarthy said. “Well, they’re being stored together. In a time when the president will keep our country closed, when maybe we have hope for a Fourth of July, to get together just with our family, how much spread of COVID is he creating every single day by his policies along this border?”
