On Wednesday, the 20-time Grand Slam champion announced that he will not be able to compete at upcoming tennis tournaments in California and Florida because the Biden Administration will not allow him to travel to the United States due to his vaccination status.

Djokovic tweeted that the Centers for Disease Control made the final call, upholding a regulation that requires all foreign nationals to be vaccinated to receive a visa for entry into the US…

… That is, of course, only if you aren’t illegally sneaking across the southern border, because then, vax status doesn’t matter one bit.

Over 2 million illegal aliens were waved into the country since last year without a vaccine or ID card.

The unelected bureaucrats establishing policy and running this country need to be run out of town on a rail.

He could just fly to Mexico and cross with everyone else. Might be easier then going through customs

Yesterday the leaders of the trucker convoy met with politicians in DC. There they asked the politicians if they were mandated to get the vaccine. One tried to lie and say yes they were but an older rep sitting next to the guy answered at the same time and said no. When they asked him to follow up he said that while he had got the vac he knows others who hadnt and that they were not mandated to get it. Rules for thee not for me. This whole thing is a farce.

But we are the good guys in these things because it’s our soil.

I'm anxiously awaiting a left winger to explain why Djokovic needs to be denied access because he's not vaccinated but it's perfectly fine for all those illegals to be streaming across our southern border unvaccinated.

The mental gymnastics should be quite entertaining

SammyTiger implied that the “West” would never go this route of division via mandate.

He was wrong.

don't hold your breath. I've been asking this question here for over a year and haven't gotten a single response. They know. They just don't care. If not for double standards, they would have none at all

Don't know much about the guy but his fortitude is admirable.The leveraging of covid is not going away with the distraction of war aka inflation. it's just intermittent rewards and punishments...a breather with all the caveats left in place and the less obtrusive parts clicking along in the background.

During the Ebola outbreaks in 2014 (fact checkers?), people who were known to be infected were brought from Africa to America for treatment. Most of these were American citizens who contracted the disease in Africa but not all were US citizens. People who spoke up against it at the time were shouted down as being fear-mongerers or worse.

It’s not about safety, it’s about control. Djokovic pushed back and that’s why he’s being punished.
