So why the differentiation for COVID test between legal vs illegal immigrants?

[pmv]

Is this about 'illegal migrants' or 'asylum seekers'?

The latter would presumably be covered by international treaties that the US has signed up to. Not sure what those treaties say about testing for infectious diseases - that does seem like an issue they ought to have covered, though.

Someday I'll open one of your threads and not find smoldering self-wreckage but today is clearly not such a day.

What I find interesting is that the NY Post is a trash source. Everyone knows it’s a trash source. Why do people even bother to read it, much less cite it? Emotional validation and the comfort of being lied to in flattering ways?

Basically the US encounters many thousands of people at the southern border every month and we deport/turn away the vast majority of them. The NY Post wants to know why we don’t subject the people we are kicking out of the country to the same testing that we subject the people we are letting into the country and the answer is…duh.

They efficiently repackage information into misrepresentations and/or lies that are not too difficult for the dim to absorb. I presume this accessibility is what makes it attractive.

What the hell is happening in this thread? Blackangst are you ok?

Edit - LOL @ his signature about Biden having dementia, while he's here responding to himself about completely unrelated topics, disagreeing with himself within a couple posts, etc...
