Some illegal immigrants coming from Mexico are bringing coronavirus into the country, and that has border leaders worried.

In Laredo, Webb County Commissioner Wawi Tijerina [[ WAH-wee TEE-her-REE-nah ]] says a Border Patrol agent told her they’re not testing every migrant who crosses the border. 

More than 100 illegals who were recently dropped off at a bus station in Brownsville tested positive. 

The Border Patrol says they don’t have the authority to hold coronavirus-positive illegals, who are now spreading out all over the country.
