Statement from Vice President Joe Biden on Donald Trump’s Expanded Travel Ban
Joe Biden on Medium ^ | Feb 1, 2020 | Joe Biden

Posted on 11/26/2021 12:11:47 PM PST by conservative98

Yesterday, Donald Trump further diminished the United States in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban, placing new restrictions on the residents of six more nations that limit who is allowed to come to the United States.

Three years ago, he took aim at Muslim-majority nations. This time, he targeted primarily African nations — including Nigeria, the largest economy and the most populous nation on the continent, and Sudan, a country striving to transition to civilian rule after decades of dictatorship. The “Muslim Ban,” this new “African Ban,” Trump’s atrocious asylum and refugee policies — they are all designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s that simple. They are racist. They are xenophobic.

And there is no evidence that they do anything to make us safer. If anything, they endanger the best tools we have to fight terrorism — our globe-spanning network of alliances and partnerships. They erode our moral standing in the world and make it less likely that other nations will work with us to take on terrorist threats before they can reach our shores.

Immigrants from each of these countries and their broader diaspora communities here in the United States enrich the larger fabric of American life as our friends and neighbors and make vital contributions to our economy. They make our nation stronger. The United States has a meaningful history of offering safety and opportunity to peoples of every nation — no matter where they come from, no matter if they are rich or poor, no matter the faith they follow.

Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to destroy that legacy. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed.

Translation: Travel bans are unfair to terrorists who are trying to enter the USA and kill us, and when I and other members of the Marxist domestic enemy party steal the election in 2020 and occupy the White house, I will make it easier for them. I will also make sure these terrorists are equipped with billions of dollars of US military weapons and tech.

Donald Trump's Muslim ban is a direct betrayal of America’s most fundamental freedom: religious freedom. And now he's adding more countries to his list of who's not welcome in America.

It's not who we are — and we'll prove that when we beat Trump this November and end the ban. pic.twitter.com/qdlU5P7MZQ— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 31, 2020

They write like it’s factual. And idiots actually absorb as if it is.

Watched a live streamer in Tapachula, Mexico asking invaders in line to get to the USA what their home country was. Nigeria was a popular answer, along with other African countries. Guess they are all virus free.

This day/week/month/year~ Xiden is being a racist by banning travel from 8/eight poor African Nations to America!:

Omicron variant spread:

US to limit travel from 8 southern Africa countries!:

The United States will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries starting Monday over concerns of a “heavily mutated” COVID-19 variant, senior administration officials said.

The Biden administration will follow advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and restrict travel from several African nations following the identification of variant B.1.1.529, which appears to be highly contagious among young people.

The World Health Organization (WHO) identified the variant as a “variant of concern” that officials first noted in South Africa.

The variant has been identified in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi as well.

About a dozen other countries, including the United Kingdom, will create similar travel restrictions.

Travel restrictions will not apply to American citizens and lawful permanent residents, but all international travelers must test negative prior to travel.

"...enrich the larger fabric of American life as our friends and neighbors and make vital contributions to our economy. They make our nation stronger."

This amounts to the Unified Theory of Lunacy, Idiocy, Stupidity, and Perversity...

The fabric of American life has been balkanized...
Friends & neighbors who will make rape, burglary, and looting standard fare for the neighborhood...
Vital contributions to the liquor & drug economy through the use of billions in welfare dollars seized from the taxpaying citizens...
A stronger Nation under communist rule...
