The post is from a poster that I believe has had an involuntary vacation in the past. And watching the video, the woman says the flights are coming from Imperial County. Last I checked that was in the state of California, not Mexico. So someone needs a geography lesson. For those that don't know Imperial county isn't a big city county like say Los Angeles or Orange. 50% of the jobs there are in agriculture. It is 80% hispanic. And the woman said she doesn't really know whether they are Americans or not, just that some of them speak Spanish and that someone told her they weren't. Seems to me a county 80% hispanic might have some Spanish speakers in it. Imperial county, like many rural counties in America, does not have nearly the hospital facilities that the big cities do. And they're full up. So yes, patients are being flown from there to other places. Yes. American citizens are coming back from Mexico to get treatment and crossing at the border in Imperial county (some of them have had ambulances waiting.) Now I have no doubt that some non citizens are being treated. Essential workers are in fact allowed to cross the border. And yes, they are essential. Imperial County is top 5 in Artichokes, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, cantaloupes, alfalfa hey, alfalfa seed, sweet corn, beef cattle, and cattle breeding. Yup. Much of the food that a lot of people eat comes from there and the workers simply aren't in a position to shelter in place.
This is very confusing, if it's actually true. I'm not sure how reputable that particular source is. It makes no sense and the people discussing it are not "officials" of any kind. The entire report is anecdotal and the details are very sketchy:
