Resurgence of COVID-19 Cases and the Border Situation

Since President Joe Biden took office in late January 2021, multiple opposition groups and certain members of state governments have criticized the new administration’s immigration policies and have blamed Biden for the surge of illegal border crossings that has increased exponentially since the beginning of the year.

However, it is worth clarifying that, although the change of administrations surely influenced border apprehension rates in recent months, there are also other factors involved that have nothing to do with local immigration policies, such as famine, the economic crisis brought on by the health emergency, lack of opportunities, violence and corruption.

Anyway, in the eyes of opposition groups and a high percentage of Republican members of Congress, the Biden administration is entirely responsible for the surge of illegal border crossings.

The current problem lies in the fact that the US is going through a massive outbreak of COVID-19 again and opposition groups are openly stating that it is related to immigrants entering the country without prior authorization, putting even more pressure on the Biden administration to implement stricter border policies.

Irregular migration never brings positive repercussions and could be an extremely dangerous journey.

Do immigrants really have anything to do with the Coronavirus outbreak?

First of all, it is extremely important to understand that the Biden administration has not yet removed the border restrictions related to the global Coronavirus pandemic, which were implemented by Trump in 2020. In fact, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants apprehended by border forces are being returned almost immediately under Title 42, which has also drawn the attention of humanitarian organizations and immigrant rights advocates, who are calling on Biden to deliver on his promises and offer international assistance to immigrant communities that need it most.

Now, border limitations aside, are immigrants really responsible for the new COVID-19 outbreak? To answer this question, it is essential to know which states have the highest number of infections.

Well, according to a recent Miami Herald report, “the biggest COVID-19 surges in the country are taking place in Florida and parts of Texas with mostly white unvaccinated — not Hispanic — populations”. Adding to that, the territories most affected by the massive outbreak are states with Republican leaders, which could also be an influential factor.

Therefore, it is imperative to ask, who is pointing the finger at immigrant communities as being responsible for the massive Coronavirus outbreak? And, are there reliable facts and official figures to back up these conjectures?
