Then , magically , they would not be so remiss in regulating the influx of illegals - e.g. the current administrations policies and general attitude apropos of Cuba.

That’s why we’re they’re letting em in!!

Makes sense to me but again, some argued that it equates to taxation without representation. A few municipalities, cities in different parts of the country ( all in blue states I believe ) already allow it for local elections . Playing devils advocate here , What would be the harm In permitting them to vote locally , though ?

Where did you get your information ? Where did you “check” and how .

Many of them are

It’s actually over. 1 million now , and growing by the thousands daily- when will it be too many for y ou then? I think it’s reckless ( actually I know it’s reckless ) and hypocritical. This administration is failing miserably in terms of border security

I’m concerned about illegals streaming across the border , period , with or without COVID crisis . So , my complaining about the immigration fiasco transcends the COVID issue , yet is still consistent with my positions and arguments - yours isn’t .

You’re missing the point - if you’re concerned about the virus spreading , enough to criticize others for not receiving it , then you should be equally outraged about the current border crisis , allowing TONS of unvacced individuals across to add to the mix.

Distract ? If it’s a legitimate Issue as you say, then it should be addressed immediately - no Obfuscation Via right wing propaganda there .

Correct , and Communist News Network (CNN) and MSDNC dont count

Also , you have no way of knowing this , same as I don’t know if they are spreading it significantly - better to be safe than sorry , though , isn’t it ?

With all due respect , Chef , your position is contradictory. On one hand , your on here railing against people -who are American citizens -that aren’t vaccinated , calling them stupid and ignorant , etc. ; yet , your ok with over a MILLION people streaming across , unchecked and unfettered , whose vaccination ( and infection status) is largely unknown, potentially spreading the virus to innocent Americans citizens . If you’re preaching vaccinations to beat the virus and busting people’s chops to those who haven’t received it heretofore , yet , are ok with this , I would say you have completely undermined your own argument- don’t you think?

It has nothing to do with it ??? All those illegals streaming across potentially spreading the delta variant to American citizens ?? Think you’re wrong about that

Then you should be utterly mortified about how the current administrations handling of our southern border - it is scary and an absolute embarrassment.

And how can you be sure of that when the illegals are not being tested on a consistent basis . I believe border patrol was saying they do not test - do you know if they do or don’t and how accurately the stats are compiled? I don’t , but comparing supposed stats from illegals positivity rates to those that are known originating from our own hospitals or clinics and then drawing conclusions sounds a lot like guess work to me . What DOES make sense though is , if your in the middle of a surge from a major pandemic and your Government is irresponsibly allowing millions of foreigners , strangers , illegals to stream across our border unfettered , They should be roundly condemned for such reckless policies . Biden’s administration currently is engaged in doing so and were busting his ass for it . Very poor management of our border -period .

When they’re coming across the border In drives with a high positivity rate they are .

I’m in West Palm Beach as of this moment and , although have only been here 24 hrs , I’m getting the vibe here that people are feeling it’s overblown . Overheard a few convos at a diner this am where people were questioning the news coverage and the severity of the cases currently . That’s just a small sample , though.

CNN needs COVID coverage for their ratings ; otherwise , only the airports , gyms and doctors offices would have it on lol.

Ridiculous

The same one who , under his watch , ensured the fastest rollout of a vaccine - which you promote incessantly , btw- ever in history . I shudder to think what would have happened if Obama or Biden had been in charge when the pandemic first hit.

Where did you obtain this info

If not , they should be as that would constitute hypocrisy .

The virus will not care whether you’re unvaxxed by choice or not , if it’s as contagious as they’re currently contending , you’re at risk . It sounds to me then , that the camps would be , sort of punitive then for those who had reservations about the vaxx , or , maybe have already gotttoen COVID and feel they’re sufficiently immune via the old fashioned route?

I agree w you , of course , but The authors argument is that long term residents who are not citizens are being denied the right to vote equates to “taxation without representation “ , a classic position championed by the right . My question is : Then , if they want to vote , why haven’t they become citizens yet ? Granted , I’m uN familiar with citizenship requirements so don’t know how involved it is

Surely, you jest
