It was x2mom who deleted almost all her posts and changed the threads she started to ".". That must have taken her a shit ton of time to alter over 1200 posts. Holy cow, THAT is commitment right there. I don't recall this thread the first time around, now instead of doing what what I should be doing, instead I'm off to read it to see why she did what she did. I’m now intrigued! I usually have a good idea why someone goes and deletes all their posts/identity here, but have no idea why in this case. If anyone knows or has an idea as to why, inquiring minds would like to know…😜

I was wondering what the full-stop was and thought it was a new thread to begin with, mind you I am half asleep at the moment.

I can't say I really blame them for not trusting the government, but they can go on and get the hell out then. This. No vaccine, no entry. We have enough anti-vaxxers here already. I have NO idea what this thread was about. Saw the "." title and got sucked in to read a few responses to hopefully get some idea. But this... This is why we need a wall on the southern border. It's got NOTHING to do with racism. Good thing y'all voted for the guy who has destroyed the security that helped keep COVID positive people out.

A wall on the southern border is all about racism. And completely useless. apnews.com/article/lifestyle-travel-immigration-56d7094f0b554925abbd3d81f8ca74c8It should be obvious and self explanatory why the wall is racist and xenophobic but in case you can't connect the dots www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-16/trump-s-border-wall-is-a-monument-to-white-supremacy As the Trump administration conceives it, a border wall would be next-level propaganda: a racist monument designed to stretch across states, dividing humans, instilling fear in communities, and occupying land to promote a system that views migrants and refugees as an enemy to be subjugated through force. Immigrants are not responsible for the Covid surges. White male evangelical conservatives refusing the vaccine are mostly responsible for the delta surges. American citizens and Republican politicians who encourage them, enable them and spread misinformation are responsible for the mess we are currently experiencing. And the reason I posted on this thread today, visa applicants will now be required to get the Covid vaccine. www.npr.org/2021/09/15/1037410464/us-immigrant-visa-applicant-coronavirus-covid-vaccinePeople applying to immigrate to the U.S. will have to show they've been vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of a required medical exam, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says. The new policy takes effect on Oct. 1

DeSantis likes to blame immigrants, but has no one actually looked at a map? The only land border Florida shares is with Alabama and Georgia. How exactly would a wall stop the surge in Florida?

I am no border expert by any means, and I won’t pretend that there aren’t problems. I also know that the states with the highest numbers of unvaxed citizens have the highest rates of Covid and very few ICU beds available.

I also know that the states with the highest numbers of unvaxed citizens have the highest rates of Covid and very few ICU beds available. Exactly. Some of the worst states are not on the southern border or even close to it. Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Wyoming, Northern Nevada are all hot spots right now www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.htmlIt's not a coincidence that the states with the highest case numbers and lowest vaccination rates correlate to the states that supported former. Percentage of Trump supporters is a much better predictor of Covid surges vs states with more immigrants. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/aug/06/ron-desantis/ron-desantis-effort-blame-covid-19-spread-migrants/www.npr.org/2021/08/10/1026178171/republicans-migrants-covid-19-surges

I bet there is mistrust, but if you refuse the vaccination there should be no way on any God's green earth that you should expect to immigrate. No vaccine no immigration. All countries should be saying this. question #2 on the USCIS Application for Visa that immigrants must complete prior to their interview states " do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with US law?" if the applicant says "no", they may not be issued an immigrant visa. however, i don't know if the COVID vaccine is one of those vaccines that are currently required to get in. oops, i just saw the list of vaccines someone posted on page 1. i think it should be though. someone in Washington DC needs to get on that. pronto. I posted on this old thread today because Biden did exactly that. Starting October 1, all visa applicants will be required to have the Covid vaccine. Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. A month ago when this thread was started, the op came across as racist and anti-immigrant. I'm sorry no one quoted her. Anyway, a month later, I feel better about requiring immigrants to get vaccines now that more Americans are required to get them - the military, federal employees, companies with over 100 employees etc. If we have the same requirements across the board for American citizens and immigrants, that seems more equitable. Covid vaccine requirements for immigrants without similar ones for American citizens made me uncomfortable.

I am most certainly NOT anti-immigration. I am most certainly NOT placing blame on any immigrants for bringing COVID here or for making it worse.
However, I do believe, at this point in time, that anyone who wants to enter any other country should expect vaccination to be a condition of that entry---whether they wish to move in forever, or just stay the day.

I think there is a huge difference between individual families vacationing in Canada, crossing a border where you speak the language…and trying to immigrate to a country to escape extreme hardships, along with thousands of other people where you are herded like cattle through a crossing where many don’t speak the language. I do agree with this. I do. But yet I still do think that people wanting to enter the country right now should be vaccinated. For their own well-being as well as anyone else's. But I do feel badly if they are confused about what is being asked of them. People crossing into the country have to be given other information. We should at least come up with something that can be handed out to people in their own language to explain what is being requested of them.

This seems reasonable and also relatively simple to accomplish. ETA: again, if anyone wanting to live here does not want the vaccine, that should be a deal breaker.

Oh, I agree completely, they should absolutely be vaccinated, I strongly support that. I don’t support expecting it of them and providing no good information in their native language, or opportunities to ask questions. Especially since the former POTUS is responsible for so much of the vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. I was just commenting on the comparison of single families vacationing and entering another country and herds of immigrants not speaking the language being herded through together, I think it’s a ridiculous comparison.

That is not only a lie, but the biggest threat to the country (in many ways) are right wing news watchers that believe every bit of propaganda that they see. They are the ones who refuse to get tested or follow any Covid precautions, and who are attacking our democracy.

I know doctors in McAllen, TX were begiing for help because of all the border crossers in the hospital that had brought in Covid.

I’m referring more to the idea that the border is “wide open” and we need a wall to keep them out. If what you are saying is happening in regards to people coming in and not being checked for Covid, I do think that is a problem. Although I also think it is quite hypocritical of people who don’t hold themselves or their community members accountable for not getting vaccines or taking precautions to be bent out of shape about immigrants coming in and doing the same. And I do think racism plays a part in that.

I know doctors in McAllen, TX were begiing for help because of all the border crossers in the hospital that had brought in Covid. I would be interested in seeing a link for the NBC News report or a link to the TX hospital, from a reputable source, something other than Fox News. A quick search on google and NBC only turned up these articles. www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/number-migrants-stopped-trying-cross-southern-u-s-border-drops-n1279012www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/fake-covid-vaccination-card-market-booms-rcna2053And this one, so I would be interested if they reversed the findings from only a month ago. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/no-surge-covid-cases-us-not-due-migrants-immigrants-rcna1656Also, Fox News may have found one doctor blaming the Covid surge on migrants, however many others are calling it scapegoating. An article from a more neutral source www.npr.org/2021/08/10/1026178171/republicans-migrants-covid-19-surges

I know doctors in McAllen, TX were begiing for help because of all the border crossers in the hospital that had brought in Covid. Also, according to NBC News, your statement about border patrol not testing for Covid left out some important details. www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/18-percent-migrant-families-leaving-border-patrol-custody-tested-positive-n1276244Migrants are not tested for Covid in Border Patrol custody unless they show symptoms, but all are tested when they leave Border Patrol custody, according to DHS officials. Immigrants who are allowed to stay in the U.S. to claim asylum are given tests when they are transferred to ICE, Health and Human Services or non-governmental organizations. Deportees who are scheduled to be put on planes out of the U.S. are tested for Covid and other infectious diseases by ICE. apnews.com/article/joe-biden-health-immigration-coronavirus-pandemic-174e424da1eb061d8b8bd53a7192611bBut public health experts say arriving migrants are not driving the rising infections in the U.S. The main culprits are people who refuse to get vaccinated. Furthermore, migrants who are allowed to enter are generally tested for COVID-19 and given hotel rooms to quarantine if they test positive, though federal authorities have not made data available about such cases.
