    Good to see some understanding low risk and that these drugs are not stopping people from getting and spreading the disease now…

    I don't know why you are bringing up DeSantis. I'm only bringing up Florida's numbers because it is the state I live in. Whether DeSantis does a better job than other governors or not, I'm basing my decisions on what the numbers in Florida say.

    it was tongue-in-cheek, ragging on those who blame the numbers on the lax policies here in florida.

    but in the mean time perhaps denying actual legal citizens a chance to live, yeah i am sorry, my choice always goes to the legals.

    Explain how anyone is denying actual legal citizens a chance to live. My choice is give preference to citizens too, but what citizen is unable to get vaccinated? What citizen is unable to get a job (we have 3.6% unemployment rate right now)? What citizen is being denied anything because of undocumented immigrants? And why shouldn't we treat undocumented as humans regardless?

    maybe overstated a bit, but asking for 22.5 billion to get more vaccines to me sends up a red flag as in we are running short, so again, a illegal should not get the shots instead of a legal american citizen, plus, again we just ignore the tidal wave of iillegals still crossing the border, more than the records set last year.

    Is it not in our common interest to minimize community disease?

    BTW - That headline and article is pure trash. An embarrassment in journalism.

    Further scrutiny reveals why. FoxNews.

    want to minimize community disease? send every last illegal back across the border so there will be no contact with american citizens,thus no chance to infect, seems simple to me, but of course we can't do that, that would be inhuman,right?

    the truth is is trash? are we not immunizing illegals and did not biden ask for the money? seems if both are true how is the article trash?

    At which point, you will proceed to complain about how expensive things are until a Republican is in office.

    how does sending illegals back equate to expensive things, just curious?

    So we have to solve the immigration problem as a means to minimize community spread? Is that really easier and cheaper than a stab?

    This tradeoff might be beyond your comprehension.

    That article is trash. Manipulative and biased.

    I wish you could recognize it. It might make you a better contributor.

    You already know the answer to that question. Why did you complain about people working lower level jobs getting higher wages?

    trash only because you disagree, is that it, what is biased about it, the actual facts?

    of course the stabs have to be available to citizens first, seems biden has forgotten that,that is why he needs more, to offset those given to illegals, seems simple to me, the more shots illegals get the less available for citizens.

    how about we clean up all the welfare rolls, let's give the homeless and the beggars jobs so they are off the street, that is if they are willing to work, that would make a huge dent in the open jobs.
