Democrats blocked a bill sponsored by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, which would require the federal government to test all illegal immigrants for coronavirus.
Republicans introduced a motion to block the previous question on a piece of legislation Tuesday tht would allow for the consideration of Miller-Meeks' legislation, the Requiring Every Alien to Receive a COVID-19 Test Act.
This bill would mandate that the Homeland Security Department test all migrants crossing the border illegally that the DHS releases into the country.
Miller-Meeks' office noted that, as of March 8th, the federal government released 185 migrants into Brownsville, Texas, who have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Iowa conservative's office also said that current law does not require the Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement to test illegal immigrants for coronavirus.
Approximately 50% of agents have tested positive for COVID-19, and very few migrants are being tested.
My REACT Act would require that every migrant released from CBP or ICE custody is tested and receives a negative test.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
