Democrats block amendment mandating vaccines for immigrants flooding America’s borders

Law Enforcement Today |September 18, 2021

WASHINGTON, DC – House Democrats blocked an amendment put forth by Republicans to mandate vaccines for immigrants trying to remain inside the United States, while tens of millions of Americans must comply with President Biden’s mandate.

During a hearing Tuesday scheduled for the Democrats’ 3.5 trillion budget reconciliation, Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA) proposed an amendment to the package that would require vaccines for foreign nationals in the U.S. who are seeking to adjust their immigration status to remain in the U.S.

The amendment was voted down by a party-line vote. Every Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee voted against the amendment. Every Republican member voted for the bill.

Rep. Issa said the Democratic “hypocrisy” must end:

“The American people are more than aware that President Biden is mandating vaccines for Americans while exempting those illegally flooding our borders and being released into our communities without notice.

“And they want the hypocrisy to end.”

The refusal to mandate vaccines for immigrants comes at a time when the Biden administration is issuing vaccine mandates on the American people.

Last week, President Biden ordered sweeping new federal vaccine requirements for as many as 100 million Americans, including private sector workers, health care workers, and federal contractors.

The President also criticized Americans who have not yet vaccinated:

“We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us. The unvaccinated minority “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”

Many Republicans and union leaders have said the President’s vaccine requirements amount to government overreach.  Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina said in a statement:

“Biden and the radical Democrats (have) thumbed their noses at the Constitution.”

American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley criticized the unilateral approach the President is taking:

“Changes like this should be negotiated with our bargaining units where appropriate.”

The President ordered that all private employers with more than 100 workers must either vaccinate all employees or require weekly virus tests. The order effectively mandates vaccines for about 80 million Americans.

Additionally, about 17 million Americans who work in the healthcare field must be fully vaccinated if the facility receives federal Medicare or Medicaid funds.

Several million more Americans who are employees of the Executive Branch of the federal government and contractors for the federal government must get vaccinated. These employees are not given the option of weekly testing.

Yet the President refuses to require vaccinations for immigrants at a time when there is a surge crisis at the southern border and a massive airlift of Afghans escaping the Taliban evacuated by American forces following the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ® has demanded that the Biden administration supply him with personal information on undocumented migrants being relocated by the federal government in Florida, many of whom have not been completely vetted or tested for COVID-19.

Gov. Santos wants the names, addresses and the number of people who tested positive for Covid-19 or refused the vaccine.

Based on a recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey, only about 25 % of “potentially undocumented” immigrants in the United States received their vaccine.
