Biden To Impose Travel Ban For Non-U.S. Citizens Traveling From South Africa Amid Covid Concerns
Um, there 15000 people heading this way from Mexico, I’m sure there is a lil covid in some
Actually from Honduras!
@Alldayumay 0221 I’m offended that you called a racist racist racist, that’s racist 🤭
@Queen BunnyFooFoo the caravan started before it came into Mexico
@Kevin Arzola So, if you’re traveling , and you go NY, VA and end up in Fl. You came FROM VA to get to Fl even if your trip originated in NY.But nice try, and thanks for playing.
@psycobleach46 tullis And your point?
so instead of coming straight from S. Africa, they will fly to MX and come in thru the southern border
True 😂
Dang straight, I never thought of that, y’all watchdogs out there keep up the good work!!
@TaggsR85 they don’t care about Americans
I was once threatened to be deported from Mexico back to the united states for flying in Mexico without my US passport. Not sure what that means but it’s got to mean something I guess.
Dems accused Trump of being racist because he wanted to ban travels from China because of this pandemic.
Now Biden bans travels from Africa and that’s ok?
The US is messed up ☺️
Sounds raciest to me !🤔
[insert “THATS RACIST” meme here]
@Bryndrson Biden is NOT a proven racist but was a proven racist
@Apex 8 it is because Biden has banned travel to all countries with the covid variant NOT just countries that have brown people which is what trump did, trump even banned countries that had NO covid at that time
@Giulia Gambino nobody called trump racist on the travel ban,
@psycobleach46 tullis yes they did, bruh just look it up.
@WheatBread you are correct South Africa is diverse. But even if it weren’t, our President has the ban because of the variant form of the virus! Nothing more, nothing less!!
But i thought that was evil? Wow how things change what a joke the dems have become
stand up and time to fight for your rights and this countrys integrity-Something George Washington would say rn
So we are keeping out the South Africans because of Covid, but encouraging the South Americans to come despite Covid. What insane logic is this?
Democrats need voters, that’s all that matters to them.
Democratic Party logic, meaning there is none.
Sure, he does that, but lets the caravan in…makes good sense, Joe.
They need the cheap labor but don’t forget Obama was known as the deported and chief
@Quin Co Right, under Obama more people were deported than Trump. Okay Lefties, share your frustration!
Wait a minute ! Why is no one freaking out ? Didn’t everybody scream their lungs out when Trump did travel bans ????
I guess it’s “ok” now that it’s Biden
@Small Fry oooo nice comeback
@IPostComments yea? a virus can mutate
@Rell 1984 yea and he imposed the travel ban and no one had a problem with it because of covid, now conservatives are acting like Biden is being a hypocrite or something
@Garrett Gould Buddy, let me explain.
No one making these ironic “RACIST” comments believes that there shouldn’t be a travel ban. They are simply pointing out that the people who called Trump’s ban “xenophobic” are the same ones *not* doing that *right now* .
It is. 😳
Annnddd cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm music lol. The hypocrisy is astonishing
Trump does it- Racist
Biden- “C’mon man, I’m protecting the nation
@Giulia Gambino if your point is that only black people live in Africa think again…
@Giulia Gambino: Don’t forget Africa is one of the least effect in covid per capita lol
@Giulia Gambino and plus that was just the headline watch the video
Athens thing was what he did didn’t work soooooo?
@Giulia Gambino repeating the same lie does NOT make it true
Joe “I don’t know what I’m signing ” Biden
Everyone sees the hypocrisy
They can’t defend it
George Jefferson there is NO hypocrisy
@psycobleach46 tullis There absolutely is. When Trump banned travel in the beginning from China, he was a racist. Now that Biden does it it is to protect us.
@psycobleach46 tullis they slammed trump for travel restrictions, and called him racist for it. Yet, they’re not doing this with Biden. That’s the hypocrisy.
@psycobleach46 tullis Trump bans travel from China- called Xenophobic
Biden bans travel from South Africa- “what’s the big deal, man?’
Are you really that stupid?
What. Is he racist for denying them. The right to America. Didn’t the media blame Trump for that? ….wow the media brainwashed you 👏
When Trump did this Biden said he was xenophobic.
And racist
No, he didn’t…
@FunnyMau5 yes he did
People still gobble it up. Its sad how the media brainwashed then
@FunnyMau5 Bloomberg: “Coronavirus: Biden Slams Trump’s ‘Xenophobic’ Europe Travel Ban, Says He’ll ‘Lead With Science'”
CTRL + C, CTRL + V
Sounds xenophobic to me🤷♂️. But I’m sure the libs have short term memory rn tho it’s ok 👌🏻
I’m calling this the “Black African Travel Ban”.
“StOp tHe XeNoPhObIc FeArMoNgErInG” – Biden when Trump pretty much did the same thing, but with China.
Made sense with china the virus came from China on purpose..not accident . It was an attack
Media is gonna have hella-buff arms carrying Biden’s water for 4 years.
“This applys to non US citizens who have been in South Africa.”
Goodness people, listen before you speak.
This isn’t a black travel ban. Also. There’s lots of white people in South Africa. You’re being racist by assuming all South Africans are black because the word Africa is in the name.
Think people
Only 8 % of South Africans are white..Now you think
Ah. So, just like that “Muslim ban”, where the people who live in majority-Muslim countries aren’t all Muslims?
Yeahhh because travelers are a “threat” to the most infected country in the world, the US is a joke.
Please stay where you are then. The greatest country in the world needs better DNA than you.
