From News Nation:
“US keeps ban on nonessential
border crossings in place”
The U.S. government on Friday
extended a ban on nonessential travel along the borders with Canada and Mexico
to slow the spread of COVID-19 despite increasing pressure to lift the
restriction. U.S. border communities that are dependent on shoppers from Mexico
and Canada and their political representatives have urged the Biden
administration to lift the ban. In addition, Canada recently began letting
fully vaccinated U.S. citizens enter the country. But the Department of
Homeland Security said in a tweet Friday that the restrictions on nonessential
travel were still needed to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and the delta
variant. It extended the ban until at least Sept. 21. DHS said it is working
with public health and medical experts to determine how to “safely and
sustainably resume normal travel.” The travel restrictions have been in place
since early in the pandemic in March 2020 and repeatedly extended while
allowing commercial traffic and essential crossings to continue.
^ As usual the US Government and
Biden are making the wrong call. The borders of the US should be opened to
those who are vaccinated. ^
