Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the COVID vaccines. I’m not talking about the fact that they are struggling to try to find a way to steal credit for it -- the media will help with that -- I’m talking about the choice they have between reopening the country safely and their desire for open borders. Democrats may not realize it yet, but they can’t have both.
The only downside with Operation Warp Speed’s success and the speed with which it worked is we have no idea how long the immunity lasts. Whether it lasts months or years, we won’t know for a long time. If it is temporary, perhaps only six months to a year, that means a constant influx of people from third-world countries could and would easily reintroduce the virus and set us right back to where we are now.
People sneaking across the border from countries with unreliable medical systems and/or corrupt governments will be breeding grounds for false documents claiming vaccination, which would make any official documents unreliable.
Which will Democrats choose: the continued influx of illegal aliens and the possible perpetuation of the pandemic and lockdowns, or the health and economic wellbeing of the American people?
That may sound like an easy choice but for Democrats, it is anything but.
To really make a vaccine work the borders have to be sealed, at least for a while. For how long depends on how quickly third-world countries can get their populations vaccinated.
We know the vaccine works, but we don’t know for how long it will work. If a person needs annual or bi-annual booster shots until the virus is eradicated, that means we can’t be welcoming in anyone from a country that does not have a functioning government capable of inoculating their population.
It’s really easy to rid the first world of a virus, once there’s a vaccine. It’s the third world that is the problem. Corrupt governments, illiterate populations, cultures based on tribalism and centuries of hatred are not conducive to an orderly distribution of regular medicine, let alone vaccines.
Entry to the United States, both legal and illegal, from corners of the world where we cannot be assured of the truthfulness of vaccinations or even the existence of them must be stopped. If it’s not, we will be inviting back into the country a disease we will have eradicated, the same way we’ve seen a resurgence of measles.
European governments are on board with vaccinations and are unlikely to use knock-offs to save money. Can the same be said about Venezuela? Not likely.
Any number of countries President Trump referred to in a way that caused liberals' pearls to be clutched from coast to coast will not care about vaccinating their population. Why would countries with death squads or large sections run by drug lords care about their population getting sick or not, especially when it costs them money?
Mexico isn’t going to stop them from marching over the border. That country not only meets both criteria of corruption and violence, but it also doesn’t want Central and South Americans to stay in their country any more than their home countries want them. So it will be up to Joe Biden to protect the vulnerable. Will he?
Biden ran on amnesty, ending deportations, and essentially open borders. If he sticks with that from the get-go, he will be endangering the lives of Americans and our economic health more so than his plans would have under normal circumstances.
So the question is this: does Joe Biden favor Americans over illegal aliens? He can’t choose both.
Is there anything he, Kamala Harris, or any Democrat has said in the last 15 years that would make you think the answer is Americans? If you want to know what is at stake in the next year, there it is – the end of the pandemic or its continuation simply because Democrats demand open borders. Remember that next time someone tries to tell you that the Senate Georgia run-off elections aren’t worth voting in.
Is this the same choice as the Pandemic and BLM riots...
Sorry, I meant “peaceful protests”...
The author assumes Democrats are rational, they are not.
I don’t think the democRATs want to end the pandemic if it means they have to end the lockdowns.
A L M
Why would the democraps want to end the pandemic?
Absolutely no need to read this mess, the title is enough. Neither is going to happen. Move on to the next article.
So the choice of the Dems is "all of the above"
“The only downside with Operation Warp Speed’s success and the speed with which it worked is we have no idea how long the immunity lasts.”
I’m an old man way out here in fly-over country and I can think of several more...
Pretty much.
There is no such thing as a "rational disconnect" to a liberal.
And it's "mostly" peaceful. Like the election was "mostly" correct.
One thing though, the government is not "mostly" honest.
Exactly.
Most Democrat politicians act strictly on what benefits them.
My impression is, if they can pass a bill which ends up killing 100 people, costing the taxpayers, a billion dollars, but puts an extra thousand dollars in their pocket, no problem, unless they get a better offer.
So onward they march, paying no mind to the disenfranchised 79 million Americans, election fraud and criminal treasonous behavior in state politicians and the not so incoming president and his crime family. They are living in there own little utopia believing they won and the next president is joe biden, amazing! The gauntlet needs to be thrown down at some point, wondering if this will ever happen
Well, no. This is silly. They can do both: keep the pandemic, which they love, and have open borders.
A LOT of “ray of sunshine” articles around that I just don’t see. No, there is nothing the Ds are doing right now that will “seal their doom.” If last year didn’t do it, nothing will.
Our people are the same way. If they confront something, they have to deal with it. Dealing with it usually entails doing something unpleasant. Hence they ignore it hoping it goes away. This is what is happening at this time. They have told themselves until they believe it that good can exist side by side with evil.
Immunize migrants as they cross the border. Problem solved. If you’re a Dem.
Easy to figure the next move. They will end the pandemic and latch onto some other crisis.
Ever see the part in The Godfather II movie where the young Corleone is quarantined at Ellis Island for TB? We need hundreds of such places along the Border
We need hundreds of such places along the Border
= = = = = = = = = =
Funny how if you visit someone in one state and live in another chances are you will have to prove you are not ‘infected’ and if unable to do so will be ‘forced’ to quarantine for ??? days(idiots can’t even get how many days is a ‘good’ quarantine).
(Maryland gov basically told them to stay home and not receive out of state visitors)
Anyhooooo, I can see these people all masked and maintaining social distancing on their trek North (YEAH RIGHT)
but - either way-, will more than likely be ushered into waiting vehicles to be ‘equally’ distributed to the ‘RED STATES’ or areas under a hiden admin....
It’s clear to me the Democrats prefer perpetual lockdown. They prefer open borders. Any new cases of COVID - the solution will be harder lockdowns.
