47% : Mayorkas also appeared to ignore recent reports showing that 20 percent of the migrant children being released into Texas under his administration are testing positive for COVID-19 -- after being released by Border Patrol.
42% : Many of the migrants being released by the Border Patrol are being placed on buses without being tested for the coronavirus and transported to major cities across Texas.
41% : Breitbart Texas' Randy Clark, a 32-year Border Patrol veteran, responded to Mayorkas visit, saying, "Mayorkas failed to address the impact of thousands of migrants being detained in inhumane conditions due to the sheer volume of traffic crossing the southern border -- a level that has overwhelmed available resources at all levels of government."
