As you may be aware, the CDC reversed its guidance on mask usage for vaccinated individuals, and many cities across the country are reinstating mask requirements for indoor areas.
I understand the frustrations surrounding this news and the confusion that comes with it. What is even more frustrating is the hypocrisy in how the Administration is handling Coronavirus at the border versus within the nation it represents.
I recently visited the southern border in South Texas. While there, I witnessed hundreds of people illegally enter our country, be held in DHS funded centers, and released to our country with no COVID test or vaccine. These people were hopping on planes to the destination of their choice at the taxpayer expense, all with an unknown COVID protection status.
If our government is going to implement restrictions on its citizens, it must be consistent in its policies with non-citizens. It is unfair to our country to be so reckless. The crisis at our border is real. I will share more in next week’s update.
