you used an article from March '21 about illegals at the border. Which, using it's own biased and partisan rhetoric, implodes when you see what has happened since March.

But let me ask this ....

All international visitors are either banned from entering the US (or other countries), or they are required to show proof of a negative test or vaccination. Right?

So why would this not be required at the Southern border? Or, why would we not test them all after apprehension? Vaccinate every single one > 12 yrs old that is released into the US? Heck, why wouldn't we force those expelled to get vaxxed first?

I live in Florida and I know numerous people that currently have Covid. Every single one of them is unvaccinated. I was also talking to a nurse that is charge of her hospital's Covid wing. She said they went from 3 patients to 30. She also told me 95% are unvaccinated. In Florida we live in a free state. The people getting Covid generally are the unvaccinated. They are free to choose not to receive the vaccine. They weighed the risks and made that decision. Why lock down everyone because the people that are catching Covid did not get the vaccine? The vaccine is widely available. If you want the shot you can get the shot. At this point there is zero wait. Heck you can walk in and get it. These people made a decision. There is no reason to lock down the state. Covid will run it's course down here and move on to other places. We all make decisions. I do not criticize people for making the decision not to get the shot. However do not take away my freedoms because they made that choice.

How about Biden come and close the border since there is a pandemic. Why be an idiot? He is clueless and wants to even kill people in his country so that there can be more dem votes to cross the border. Sickening. And he's busing them to FL to make Desantis look bad. NOT DESANTIS's fault so stop with the 'misinformation'.

Biden is the problem...not Desantis.

Even before the recent surge Florida was a high illegal immigrant state. With all the construction that has gone on in combination with the farm industry it has always attracted a lot of illegals. Also some use Florida to get to NYC and/or go up the east coast.

Just goes to show, all the press about "Florida Man" and "Florida Woman" are absolutely true. Just who thought the Governor would be a "Florida Man" too.

Florida Man puts his constituents and his voters in peril, Covid is slowly bringing him down.

POTUS has no authority to do so.

Unfortunately, what happens in Florida does not stay in Florida or anywhere else.

As the Covid turns, states peak at different times.
Well, it's not scaring any investors away. Just sold a property yesterday to a family moving to FL from NY. $588,000 for a home built in 1949 and I personally bought it in 2004 for only $60,000.

Another day another record breaker for Florida

It's getting to the point where it's time to seal Floridians inside their homes by welding their doors shut. Why is it so hard for these folks to avoid this virus?

https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1426545944426860547

Florida reports 25,812 new coronavirus cases, the biggest one-day increase on record, and 209 new deaths https://newsnodes.com/us_state/FL

Hey there is no doubt that it is happening. To the extent that it has increased the numbers to the point where they are today I would agree that it has been a contributing factor.
