    1. @Kevin Arzola So, if you’re traveling , and you go NY, VA and end up in Fl. You came FROM VA to get to Fl even if your trip originated in NY.But nice try, and thanks for playing.

    1. I was once threatened to be deported from Mexico back to the united states for flying in Mexico without my US passport. Not sure what that means but it’s got to mean something I guess.

    2. Dems accused Trump of being racist because he wanted to ban travels from China because of this pandemic.

      Now Biden bans travels from Africa and that’s ok?

      The US is messed up ☺️

    1. @Apex 8 it is because Biden has banned travel to all countries with the covid variant NOT just countries that have brown people which is what trump did, trump even banned countries that had NO covid at that time

    2. @WheatBread you are correct South Africa is diverse. But even if it weren’t, our President has the ban because of the variant form of the virus! Nothing more, nothing less!!

    1. stand up and time to fight for your rights and this countrys integrity-Something George Washington would say rn

  1. So we are keeping out the South Africans because of Covid, but encouraging the South Americans to come despite Covid. What insane logic is this?

  2. Wait a minute ! Why is no one freaking out ? Didn’t everybody scream their lungs out when Trump did travel bans ????

    1. @Rell 1984 yea and he imposed the travel ban and no one had a problem with it because of covid, now conservatives are acting like Biden is being a hypocrite or something

    2. @Garrett Gould Buddy, let me explain.

      No one making these ironic “RACIST” comments believes that there shouldn’t be a travel ban. They are simply pointing out that the people who called Trump’s ban “xenophobic” are the same ones *not* doing that *right now* .

    1. @psycobleach46 tullis There absolutely is. When Trump banned travel in the beginning from China, he was a racist. Now that Biden does it it is to protect us.

    2. @psycobleach46 tullis they slammed trump for travel restrictions, and called him racist for it. Yet, they’re not doing this with Biden. That’s the hypocrisy.

    3. @psycobleach46 tullis Trump bans travel from China- called Xenophobic
      Biden bans travel from South Africa- “what’s the big deal, man?’
      Are you really that stupid?

    4. What. Is he racist for denying them. The right to America. Didn’t the media blame Trump for that? ….wow the media brainwashed you 👏

    1. @FunnyMau5 Bloomberg: “Coronavirus: Biden Slams Trump’s ‘Xenophobic’ Europe Travel Ban, Says He’ll ‘Lead With Science'”

      CTRL + C, CTRL + V

  3. Sounds xenophobic to me🤷‍♂️. But I’m sure the libs have short term memory rn tho it’s ok 👌🏻

  4. “StOp tHe XeNoPhObIc FeArMoNgErInG” – Biden when Trump pretty much did the same thing, but with China.

  5. “This applys to non US citizens who have been in South Africa.”

    Goodness people, listen before you speak.
    This isn’t a black travel ban. Also. There’s lots of white people in South Africa. You’re being racist by assuming all South Africans are black because the word Africa is in the name.

    Think people

    1. Ah. So, just like that “Muslim ban”, where the people who live in majority-Muslim countries aren’t all Muslims?
