You have to be vaccinated in order to vote.
Wouldn't that be nice? How is this a bad plan?

Sarcasm, right?

You can’t restrict unvaccinated from voting.

Not with that attitude.
The Republicans would find a way.

Of course since the Biden administration has decided this is what they want to do, they'll just find another way to do it.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is in talks with Mexico about potentially restarting a version of the controversial Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy. It comes after the Supreme Court issued an order last month effectively forcing Biden to restore the policy, which his administration ended earlier this year. Administration officials have said they are working to reinstate the policy while they go through the appeals process.

Although it's probably fair to say that really the Americans just want the refugees to go away, and that's not going to change regardless of who's in the White House.

And more garbage.

Quote:
President Joe Biden has been touring climate-ravaged areas of America, warning that climate change is a “code red” emergency for the planet. And yet, his administration has continued to boost fossil fuel projects and is now preparing to vastly expand offshore drilling.
The White House argues that a court order it opposes and is appealing requires federal officials to lease more than 78 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico for fossil fuel exploration. Environmental groups, however, assert that federal law gives the administration broad discretion over whether or not to hold such sales.
In fact, Biden’s officials have instead used that power to officially declare that the warnings in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)#report#“does not present sufficient cause"#to reevaluate the drilling plan.

Also pretty sad that the mainstream media outlets who have been complicit in the George W. Bush rehabilitation project aren't covering the protests against him during his current speaking tour.

Suddenly Dubya is all progressive and stuff, while we downplay his horrid record, "war on terror" and my personal favorite, the Patriot Act. Hey, let's hammer your rights and call it patriotism! And the peasants rejoiced.
There's an old saying in Tennessee... I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee... that says, 'Fool me once, shame on... shame on you? Fool me—you can't get fooled again.
He's a turd. Always has been, always will be.

Welcoming the criminals responsible for the atrocities committed during that administration back into civil society is pretty unforgivable, IMO.

The solution to Oil is on the demand side.

Adding a glib "jesus christ" doesn't really solve anything nor provide a reasonable discussion. It's just gotcha posting, and you really can and should do better.

So you think handing them over to private contractors, who have been notoriously horrific at running these things, at Gitmo of all places is good policy?
Also, see the posts above. They're not processing them in order to move them to better facilities inside the U.S. They're sending them right back to Haiti.
How long do you think it'll be until we hear about deplorable living conditions and abuse at this facility?
