Biden issues another vaccine mandate, but not for illegals: "that would be racist"
/“Well I guess the President doesn’t consider wetbacks to be essential workers”, Peppermint Psaki explained to FWIW. “I mean, the only essential Mexicans we know are the gardeners at the White House and at Rehoboth, and they all have green cards, or say they do”.
Shortly before leaving for Nantucket Tuesday afternoon, the White House announced President Joe Biden will require all non-resident essential workers crossing into the United States be fully vaccinated for Wuhan coronavirus.
"President Joe Biden will require essential, nonresident travelers crossing U.S. land borders, such as truck drivers, government and emergency response officials, to be fully vaccinated beginning on Jan. 22, the administration planned to announce Tuesday," the Associated Press reports. "Essential travelers entering by ferry will also be required to be fully vaccinated by the same date, the official said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to preview the announcement."
"The rules pertain to non-U.S. nationals. American citizens and permanent residents may still enter the U.S. regardless of their vaccination status, but face additional testing hurdles," the report continues.
Nearly two million illegal immigrants who have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico this year are not required to be vaccinated or undergo Wuhan coronavirus testing.
