Amid uncertainty and dissatisfaction, many Americans (1) are confused and (2) have lost confidence in the CDC and FDA. To mask or not to mask? Social distancing or partying? Especially if the spirit moves you or you’re celebrating a birthday or need to visit a beauty parlor? So get the vaccination, we’re told, and stop the spread. Oh, don’t forget, perhaps another booster shot or two? And then there are the children. Certainly no need to fool around there.
No two people have done more to undermine Joe Biden’s vaccine policy than have Joe Biden and Dr. Tony Fauci. And now arriving on the Big Screen is the President’s biggest optics crisis, yet,” reports Stephen L. Miller in SpectatorWorld.com:
As Many as 15,000 Unvaccinated Migrants?
15,000 migrants inundating our southern border under a Texas bridge don’t make for good optics.
Who Has or Hasn’t Been Tested
According to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, border officials in his department did not test the 12,000 to 15,000 migrants for COVID. Some, the secretary acknowledged, have fallen ill, but Mayorkas wasn’t about to elaborate further. Nor did he explain why U.S. Border Patrol agents, if they are not vaccinated, face termination in a matter of weeks.
Will 12,000 Migrants Appear in Court?
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Mayorkas told host Chris Wallace, “At least 12,000 of those same migrants were released into the country with a notice to appear in court, which, as Mr. Miller notes, “is sure to be ignored by the majority of them, if history is any guide.”
Cities Should Be on Notice
To recap, reports Mr. Miler, thousands of migrants who were not tested for COVID, and not vaccinated to anyone’s knowledge, were just released into the U.S. These unvaccinated are most likely destined for urban city environments.
This has been met with sympathetic shrugs from reporters, who have also made a point of highlighting when every mother or father of three who rejects the vaccine dies from COVID.
Keep Three-Year-Olds Masked?
The Biden administration has offered American citizens an iron fist on vaccinations, to the point of instituting possibly unconstitutional mandates. His CDC demands that your children, as young as three years old, remain masked at their schools for all hours of the day, as well as at daycare.
The Delta Variant: Joe Biden Can’t Have It Both Ways
But when it comes to a refugee crisis, these mandates and demands suddenly dissipate. Either we are in a pandemic, where the Delta variant is burning its way across the United States and we must take every precaution to curb it, or we aren’t.
Biden cannot have it both ways.
Playing the Race Card Both Ways
The border crisis is also a national health crisis. Neither the Biden administration nor its media paid much attention until images of border patrol on horseback went viral. Democrats then used the images to smear agents. Mr. Miller notes:
The media and the administration are trying to have it both ways: shaming large gatherings like the Sturgis motorcycle rally and college football games, while remaining deathly silent on the large crowds of unvaccinated migrants. They are counting on playing the race card against anyone who dares to mention these hypocrisies. It’s a dishonest attempt to address the real optics of the situation.
Via Train, Plane, or River Crossing
Joe Biden is failing the American people. Candidate Joe promised, his goal, he said, was to shut down the Coronavirus. Could it be reached if the President implemented strict border controls on everyone, “whether it’s by airplane or by river crossing?
As Mr. Miller stresses, “Once that is taken care of, we can resume the age-old immigration debate.”
