I am sure that the blame for this will fall on Biden, Obama, and/or Clinton.

Oh that’s a prediction you can make with 100% certainty.

Trump officials play Biden blame game as screwworm spreads

The parasitic fly had been eliminated in the U.S. since the 1960s, but now it’s back, and according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the new resurgence is entirely due to the lax immigration policies of former President Biden’s administration. “The threat didn’t appear overnight; it was the direct result of the Biden-Harris Admin’s WEAK foreign policy agenda and FAILED immigration policies,” Rollins wrote in a social media post last week. In a CNBC “Squawk Box” interview Monday, Rollins continued to point fingers at Biden. “Under the last administration with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels, etc., border security, that’s when [screwworm] began to make its way back up toward America, hitting Mexico in early 2023, moving its way up through Mexico in 2024,” Rollins said.

OK, sos let’s figure out how it really happened, shall we?

After Mexican officials confirmed a case of screwworm in November 2024, Biden’s Department of Agriculture (USDA) closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent the spread of screwworm into the U.S. But amid protests from the cattle industry, President Trump reversed that decision in February 2025. Well, well, well.
