Because we refuse to have a reasonable, civilized system for allowing these people to come here legally, so they are forced to risk their lives and sneak across the border.

we DO have a system, and we have the #1 most generous immigration in the world

and all these millions who want to breach the system and force their was in are allowed - but the bottom line is, its ILLEGAL and Biden and Democrats turn their eyes ....

unless its Djokovic, and then HELL NO!!! we'd be compromising laws and national security for an unvaccinated guy, KEEP HIM OUT !!!

the hypocrisy stinks at a national crisis level

I guess Djokovic is free to try and illegally cross to get here...does not mean he will be allowed to play...as I don't think those crossing the border are allowed to play either.

One is well known tennis guy flying in and is checked by Customs. The other people are trying to sneak in.

No idea, though I don't see the connection. The country has a policy for allowing people into the country. If I want to travel to a foreign country I'd imagine I'd have to adhere to their vaccination policies.

If he gets into Texas, he probably has a good chance of getting bused to NYC

 

[whoknew]

This is a disappointing thread because the OP took the dumbest possible angle to argue against US policy.

The issue itself, though, is an interesting question. If Djoker can test negative when entering the country, why not let him in? There are reasons to allow it and reasons to not allow it, I reckon. And could have been a good discussion in another, less stupid timeline.

At some point they will look at this I am guessing.

In the meantime it’s a decent enough generic way to handle this. Policies like this typically have to be blunt instruments.

I guess the reason is if he didn’t, he could infect the entire plane.

Really what it does is shine the light on US policy for the last couple of years of disbursing COVID positive illegal immigrants all over the country. They purposely seeded COVID everywhere, knowing the high positivity rate and intentionally putting positive folks onto busses, instead of trying to contain it. Djokovich is just a nice foil to remind us how many the blue team has killed in its quest for new potential voters.

Let's just say we agree with this wording. Should our policy be to let in more people knowingly who aren't vaxed? That is what the purpose of this blanket rule for travelers is for.

Unless you come across the border illegally.

unless you go there illegally and then they will welcome you with open arms

every country does that, right ?

because covid is bad, and you can't let people into the USA who might be a carrier of the disease

except the hundreds of thousands coming across the southern border - they're all good

but Djokovic ? heck no, ban him from entry, save our citizens !!

We should be testing any people being held if they were detained for crossing the border illegally.

Maybe they are now - not sure. But we know that during the height of COVID they were either purposely not testing or if they were testing they still allowed positive folks to jump on busses. These facts aren't in dispute.

The flip side of this is as soon as someone from whatever country comes here, gets Covid, gives it to other people at some tennis match then the story is "why are the feds so reckless!!!!1!, they let in this foreign guy and he got people sick just so he could play tennis"

We all know the rules in place, I came back from Canada for work this summer and had to do all kinds of crap both going into Canada and coming back. It was all clear to me what needed to be done.
