Biden Considering Stronger Travel Restrictions On Red States Than On Mexico
The Federalist ^ | 2/11/2021 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 02/11/2021 10:11:04 AM PST by RightGeek

President Joe Biden is reportedly considering domestic travel restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus variants while effectively opening the nation’s borders to unvetted foreign trespassers.

“This is a war and we’re at battle with the virus. War is messy and unpredictable, and all options are on the table,” an anonymous White House official told the Miami Herald, singling out Florida, where a third of all strains of the U.K. variant found in the U.S. has been identified.

The variant, known as B.1.1.7 is supposedly more transmissible, doubling in the United States every 10 days according to a new study published Sunday. The study has not yet been peer-reviewed. According to Stanford University professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the COVID-19 vaccines and previous COVID-19 infection currently appear to give good protection against the U.K. and other newer variants.

...

Federal travel sanctions on Florida, where the state’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has allowed the economy to remain open with a focused protection approach to prioritizing the vulnerable that so far appears effective, would contradict the Biden administration’s embrace of open borders.

...

The New York Times reports that illegal entrants in Texas are not being screened for COVID unless they show detectable symptoms and are being released indefinitely into the United States instead of returned to their home countries:

Health authorities in San Diego have ruled that those crossing into California must remain at the hotel for 10 days before being allowed to go onward. There is no similar quarantine requirement in Texas for migrants who arrive with no coronavirus symptoms, according to volunteers working with the migrants; there, they said, those released by Border Patrol are being allowed to board buses and travel to other destinations.

We winter in Florida, but our home is in Michigan. There is a sense of normalcy here the we didn’t experience on our last trip home for business. I couldn’t wait to leave Michigan to return to Florida.

The house up north is going on the market this summer (assuming Biden doesn’t screw the real estate market) and we’re moving here full-time. As long as I can fly home to see the grandkids there’s no reason to leave.

War? He avoided more than most his age.

Give the Big Guy a break, he had asthma as a teen. Wonder when it went away.

“Travel sanctions” on US states are unconstitutional. Every citizen is guaranteed freedom of movement, meaning FREE egress and ingress between all 50 states.

Not just is it illegal, but there is not even an arm of the federal government in existence to do it. I mean, the Border Patrol can only operate up to a couple miles from the international border. The Army can’t operate internally without being invited by the Governors. Who’s going to enforce this? The US Marshals? LOL!

Illegal, unelected, unconstitutional, hypocritical government in action.

It's just effing ridiculous at this point.

Severe restrictions on travel in one part of country to "slow the spread" but open the borders, let everyone in?

Doesn't ANYBODY question this?

Have we been dumbed down this much?

The whole effing thing is psy-op TO CONTROL PEOPLE.

WAKE UP!

Could be a good idea. If everyone of us who learn of any new illegals in our neighborhood, we will pay their way to D.C. where they will be given their government funds and a place to live for 5 years for free. It might be a good investment. Wonder if we might set up a foundation for settling illegals. I do believe that the D.C. and surrounding suburbs would be the best place to send them.

The migrants are being planted all over the country, without even being tested for diseases including Covid. Dems. want the votes.

Basically, they don’t care because they’ve had their two vaccine shots. Notice that they waited a bit before letting the covid transmitters in.

Check out the real Florida, the Redneck Riviera of the north Gulf coast.
