Careful, Biden administration. You keep giving us gifts like this, we’re liable to get spoiled:
BREAKING: President Biden will require essential, nonresident travelers crossing U.S. land borders, such as truck drivers, to be fully vaccinated beginning on Jan. 22 – AP

Sounds promising, doesn’t it?
NEW: 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. https://t.co/wtPctBSWjV

More:
A senior administration official said the requirement, which the White House previewed in October, brings the rules for essential travelers in line with those that took effect earlier this month for leisure travelers, when the U.S. reopened its borders to fully vaccinated individuals.
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 because officials believe they more easily contract and spread COVID-19 and in order to encourage them to get a shot.

They’re taking this newfound aversion to letting people cross state lines a bit far https://t.co/Y1onQTZlT7

They’re just trying to “encourage” more people to get the COVID19 vaccine. You’re gonna get that vaccine, and you’re gonna like it.
And if you don’t like it, well, you’ll learn to like it or else get screwed even harder by this administration.
President Biden: “How can I make the supply-chain crises any worse?”

That oughta get the supply chain rolling! https://t.co/7IPMIrHyFr

Right over the cliff.
Sure let's accelerate the supply chain issues. https://t.co/SDeLbujgtm

The supply chain isn't f*cked enough…
— Barry Gadbois (@BarryGadbois) November 23, 2021
they are trying really hard to create a supply chain crisis

This is not what you do during a supply chain crisis, unless you’re trying to make it worse. https://t.co/bXvrDSpmor

And the supply chain is officially snapped

Is this a joke?
We are dealing with unprecedented supply chain crisis, partially driven by a labor shortage. Restricting the pool of possible drivers will only make that problem worse. https://t.co/3tFS56h93k

Biden’s vaccination policy will definitely make the already-awful supply chain issues infinitely worse. But what about the administration’s continued lack of concern about illegal immigrants of unknown vaccination status flooding our southern border?
UPDATE: Illegal aliens are exempt from this new mandate. https://t.co/1BsV5mxN7a

Blue collar truck drivers will be forced to get the jab
Unvaccinated illegal border crossers will be welcomed with open arms https://t.co/fXUBvuKAT5

So if they drive the truck between the ports of entry over the areas where Biden removed the wall – they are good to go? https://t.co/UEjLwwf3Og

Illegal immigrants, on the other hand, will be placed into American society unvaccinated.
So which science are we believing in today? https://t.co/Ve9hbUhV76
— Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) November 23, 2021
Why, the science of partisan politics, of course!
No different then scheduling Afghan withdrawal during fighting season bc they wanted it to be around 9/11. Or rescinding the Stay in Mexico policy at the border. Or suspending new and oil and gas drilling leases on public lands. Each time surprised they made the problem worse.
— AG (@AGHamilton29) November 23, 2021
I’m honestly exhausted by the incompetence of this administration. They seriously don’t think about any consequences when they put stuff forward. Same story on issue after issue. And it’s bc all their decisions are driven by politics.
