60% : They wrote that the "current increase in apprehensions fits a predictable pattern of seasonal changes in undocumented immigration combined with a backlog of demand because of 2020's coronavirus border closure."
49% : Authorities in McAllen, Texas, said in a statement that over seven thousand coronavirus-positive immigrants have been released by U.S. Border Patrol in their city since February.
49% : It also called on Congress to cut 96 percent of border security assets and infrastructure funding out of the budget.
48% : What Biden has done is change the policies of the previous administration while signaling that he would take a softer approach to illegal immigration.
47% : Many apprehended illegal immigrants are not even being tested before being released by U.S. Border Patrol into cities because the number of people the agency is dealing with is too great.
30% : At this point, health officials announcing that it's not a problem is about as credible as when people declared that President Donald Trump's rallies were super spreader events yet had no issue with Black Lives Matter protests.
