Besides, he said, there is not much the city can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>he told commissioners. \u201cEven though they test positive, they\u2019re going to leave the next day. They\u2019re going to get on the bus or the airplane, and they\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A report published last week alleged that numerous asylum-seekers that have been released into the U.S. by Border Patrol officials have tested positive for the coronavirus after their release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities,\u201d NBC News&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/latino\/after-border-patrol-release-asylum-seekers-test-positive-covid-brownsville-n1259282\">reported<\/a>. \u201cA few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Izaguirre told Noticias Telemundo Investiga that officials \u201cseparated about eight of us because we were positive.\u201d The report said that she was waiting to catch a bus that was headed to Houston.<\/p>\n<p>NBC reported that other migrant families that said they tested positive for the coronavirus had been waiting to go to destinations on the East Coast, including North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city of Brownsville administers these rapid tests at the bus station, after migrant families are released by the Border Patrol. A spokesperson for Brownsville confirmed that, since they began doing these tests Jan. 25, 108 migrants have tested positive for Covid-19, which is 6.3 percent of those who took the test,\u201d NBC News reported. \u201cIn response to Noticias Telemundo Investiga, a spokesperson for the city said in an email that Brownsville does not have the authority to retain these migrants who plan to travel to dozens of cities throughout the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen.&nbsp;Tom Cotton, (R-AR) on Monday ripped the \u201cBiden border crisis,\u201d saying that \u201camoral\u201d policies are putting illegal aliens at risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the Biden border crisis. But you know if you\u2019re Joe Biden and the Democrats and they don\u2019t believe in borders, they don\u2019t, therefore, think it is a crisis,\u201d Cotton said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/shows\/fox-and-friends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cFox &amp; Friends.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey think this is a feature not a bug of their policy. They\u2019ve literally turned detention centers \u2014&nbsp;that are designed to turn people away at our borders \u2014 into reception centers. That\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna call them. What signal is that going to send? &nbsp;We\u2019ve seen migrants wearing their shirts that say, Biden, let us in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
