For as long as there have been immigrants and refugees coming to the United States, there have been those who tried to keep them out by labeling them as diseased, infected or ailing.
It’s ghoulish work, but Republicans with an eye on the mid-term elections next year are up to the task.
That’s the fear. It’s based on anxiety about the unknown, and the uncertainty human beings might feel toward others whose intentions are unclear., officials in McAllen, Texas say that, since February, more than 7,000 migrants who tested positive for COVID-19 have been processed in the border city. Those same officials claim that every day they see more than 1,800 migrants coming into their community. That’s at least 54,000 per month.
In McAllen, city officials recently set up an emergency encampment to care for migrants who test positive for the coronavirus after they're released from the custody of U.S. immigration authorities. “It’s a go-to lie,” Hernandez told me. “It’s just not a big story here unless you’re watching Fox News. That’s where you find the propaganda that Republicans use to perpetuate fear.”
As a native of the region, Hernandez has had her fill of Easterners who write about a Texas they don’t understand.
