Knowing how inept the US can be when rolling out changes, they could botch the whole thing hands down

Many other countries mandate that you be vaccinated as well, they do it to allow tourism to resume..  IMO, we should have done this months ago, so what if it's an experimental vaccine,  nobody is putting a gun to your head to take it, you just wont have the same freedoms as the vaccinated, You want to come to the US? take the vaccine or stay home.. I'd go a step further by applying the mandate to all forms of public transportation.

 

But as others pointed out, if Biden makes the move, it will be in direct conflict with the flood of illegal aliens he's allowing into the US, illegals who not only are spreading Covid19 into the US population but other viral strains as well.

Not being flippant, genuine question - Can someone explain to me what they mean when they say “illegal aliens Biden is allowing in.” Don’t people become illegal aliens when they come in without passing through CPB and/or overstay their visas while in US.

 

How can Biden Or anyone let them in. They either come in unnoticed or stay too Long...

Probably referring to those who Enter Without Inspection (EWI) and then immediately turn themselves in to BP. But in some cases it's them using incorrect terminology for asylum seekers. That being said, the ones in the former MPP program were COVID tested with the help of UNHCR before being let in.

 

Also note that USCs and LPRs don't need COVID test when they enter via a land POE. I.e. the CDC global order requirement is only for "air passengers" https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/fr-proof-negative-test.html

Right, I figured that. I assume USC's and LRP's won't be screened for the vaccine either?

I'm curious how this would even work? I imagine that a lot of countries don't even issue vaccine papers in English?

But Biden said there would be no vaccine passports! /s

Not just that, over a half of the world doesn't have Pfizer/Moderna/J&J vaccines (authorized vaccines in the US) So? They will close the borders for that countries?

Doesn't sound like a great plan, I doubt they can bring it alive

I’ve no questions. people vaccinated outside FDA protocols won’t be considered vaccinated.   That isn’t hard for me to understand.

So if they require vaccinations to enter the U.S., will they provide the necessary vaccinations to immigrant visa applicants at their medicals before their consular interviews?

The idea of this proposal is to let tourists and other non immigrants oritneyiby journeys from Covid banned come to the USA without spending 14 days in a bridge country.  
 

Immigrants have been given national Interest exceptions from this requirement.  
 

So there is no reason to require an immigrant to be vaccinated before entering the USA.
