Denying asylum

vendredi 1 octobre 2021 à 02:00

Biden continues the bully's excuse for denying people the right to come to the US border and ask for asylum.

The excuse is that Covid-19 is a medical emergency, and any immigrant who has Covid-19 is a threat because perse might be infected. We can imagine situations where that would be a valid position, but not at the border of Republican dominated Texas. Border-crossers are hardly significant, as a source of Covid-19 in Texas, compared with Republican US citizens.

We can understand why the bully did this: it offered him a way to use a scapegoat for distraction. But unless Biden is no better, he should stop using the excuse.
