If Biden wants to combat the coronavirus pandemic, a good step would be to finally secure the border.
In the first two weeks of July, there was a 900% increase in the number of illegal immigrants testing positive for COVID-19.

Astonishingly, the Biden administration is still considering lifting Title 42, which allows for the expulsion of illegal immigrants on public health grounds, as Biden’s border crisis worsens.
But even with Title 42 currently in place, the surge in COVID cases presents a danger to American communities because of Biden’s reckless catch-and-release policy. In the last full month of the Trump administration, only 18 illegal immigrants were caught and released. That number has surged under Biden, and was 34,639 in June.
It reveals Biden’s completely misplaced priorities – he is more likely to close businesses because of COVID than he is to secure the border.
