This is insane

It’s amazing how almost no national media outlets/reporters will question Psaki or Biden on these things (but, then, it doesn’t seem like Biden is taking questions anymore, to the point that White House aids will shout down reporters), leaving it pretty much up to Peter Doocy, with no follow ups from the other so-called reporters
(NY Post) Pressed on the Biden administration’s decision not to require coronavirus vaccines or negative COVID-19 tests for people illegally crossing the southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted Monday the refugees are “not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.â€
In recent days, thousands of migrants from Haiti and other countries have flooded the southern border seeking permanent asylum in the US. Many reached a processing bottleneck in Del Rio, Texas, last week, leaving over 12,000 migrants to camp under a bridge, sparking coronavirus and security threat concerns among local and state leaders.
During Monday’s daily press briefing, Psaki was pressed on why there are so many steps pertaining to COVID-19 when flying into the country, such as providing vaccination proof or a negative COVID-19 test, but seemingly none for those who walk across the border.
“As individuals come across the border, and they are both assessed for whether they have any symptoms, if they have symptoms they are,†Psaki said.
“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. It’s not the same thing.â€
“We are expelling individuals based on Title 42 specifically because of COVID because we want to prevent a scenario where large numbers of people are gathering posing a threat to the community and also to the migrants themselves,†she added.
Remember, there are still lots of travel restrictions put in place for Europe and other nations due to COVID, which are going to be relaxed in late November, with visitors required to be vaccinated to fly to the U.S. The vast majority of those are visitors, they won’t be staying for a lengthy period of time. Most of the “migrants” aren’t being required to have the vaccine to come, and we’ve heard all the stories of the “migrants” being released into the U.S. with COVID (not too mention other diseases). Most are staying for a lengthy period of time. That’s their intention in coming to the U.S.
Same with the Haitians. They’ve taken a long journey from Haiti to Mexico then the U.S. southern border. They did that to come and stay. Of course, the Biden Admin is working hard to block them, and then deport them. Not the other “migrants”.
The lack of vaccine requirements for illegal migrants is not new, as on Sept. 10, Psaki confirmed the government would not require them, despite President Biden’s order requiring roughly two-thirds of US workers to be vaccinated. At the time, she did not elaborate on why migrants wouldn’t be subject to the same rules as US workers.
Almost no other media outlets have reported on this apparent hypocrisy and idiocy. No NY Times, Washington Post, ABC News, etc.
