Iowa Governor says Biden’s open border is contributing to COVID-19 increase nationwide

The delta variant of the COVID-19 virus is sweeping across the unvaccinated in America, and in some cases, even the fully vaccinated and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is blaming President Joe Biden’s open-border policy as a contributing factor.

“Part of the problem is the southern border is open and we’ve got 88 countries that are coming across the border and they don’t have vaccines so none of them are vaccinated and they’re getting dispersed throughout the country,” Reynolds said in an interview with the Des Moines Register.

Now, Reynolds is being called a hate monger, even after a police department in Texas said COVID-19 infected migrants were being released from federal facilities and into border communities.

“For her to cry wolf about this doesn’t seem to make sense in light of the fact that she hasn’t done the work here in Iowa to make sure that everybody gets vaccinated,” said Joe Henry a director of the League of United Latin American Citizens of Iowa.
