Psaki Ducks Question on Vaccination Card Requirement for Illegal Immigrants, Says It’s ‘Not the Same Thing’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki seemed to duck a question Monday asked by Fox New’s Peter Doocy on vaccination card requirements for illegal immigrants.

@pdoocy: “If somebody walks into the country, right across the river, does somebody ask to see their vaccination card?” @PressSec: “…They’re not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.”

Doocy asked, “If somebody walks into the country, right across the river, does somebody ask to see their vaccination card?” This comes as thousands of potentially sick illegal immigrants have come across the border recently.

Psaki responded saying, “As individuals come across the border and they are both assessed for whether they have any symptoms. If they have symptoms the intention is for them to be quarantined. That is our process. They’re not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time. I don’t think it’s the same thing.”

Psaki never said whether or not migrants are checked to see whether they are vaccinated for COVID-19 while they gather in hurds and pour into the country. Meanwhile many U.S. healthcare workers have been threatened with losing their job or already have for not taking the COVID vaccine.

Most Americans would agree that these migrants do intend to stay here for a long time as it doesn’t seem like they are here to visit family or vacation. When families and single men are pouring across the border it indicates to many Americans that they are here to stay if they aren’t deported. We recently reported on illegal immigrants who crossed the border and were staying under a bridge near Del Rio, Texas.

For those who are seeking to travel to the U.S. from Tapachula, they have already made the dangerous journey across countries while navigating jungles and deserts as they crossed international borders. 

Jean Edelince, 36, who is originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, told the LA Times he has spent the last four months in Tapachula with his family. 

He had lived in Chile for four years but he and his family decided to travel north to reach Mexico through Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and finally Guatemala…

Jorge Luis Mora Castillo, a 48-year-old from Cuba, said he arrived Saturday in Acuna and also planned to cross into the U.S. He said his family paid smugglers $12,000 to take him, his wife, and their son out of Paraguay, a South American nation where they had lived for four years.

Told of the U.S. message discouraging migrants, Castillo said he wouldn’t change his mind.”

These do not sound like people who plan on a short stay in America. They have come here in an attempt to stay here permanently.
