Biden now vaccinating illegals as they cross the border?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is implementing a new policy to vaccinate illegal migrants at the southern border. Illegal crossings are at a twenty-year high and that is posing a public health threat, along with the humanitarian crisis. The plan is for them to receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, regardless if they are scheduled for deportation or will be held and then released into the U.S.
The Johnson and Johnson vaccine was chosen because it is a one-dose vaccine that will be more practical for transient people. If they aren’t showing up for processing their asylum claims with ICE, are they going to show up for a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines? Not likely. A limited number of migrants have already received the vaccine while being held in longer-term ICE detention facilities. DHS will vaccinate them as soon as they cross the border and wait to be processed by Border Patrol agents.

Even if they can round up these people for shots, hundreds of thousands have already been sent around the country. It also won't account for the "got aways" who avoid the Border Patrol. It does look like the Biden administration has heard the complaints of DeSantis and Abbott with respect to the spread of the virus..
