The Biden administration is planning to roll out a policy in November that denies the right to travel or immigrate to the United States to anyone in the world who is unvaccinated.

Why would they allow them to test negative and enter on October 31, but on November 1, ban them if they were willing to get vaccinated? A policy allowing for people to get vaccinated in the United States would help spur economic recovery and help the world get vaccinated.

With negative tests, the risk of spreading COVID-19 would be minimal, and since anyone in the United States who wants to get a vaccine could have already gotten one, the imposed risk to Americans is extremely small.

President Biden ran as the most pro‐immigrant presidential candidate since Lincoln but has governed as one of the most anti‐immigrant presidents ever—only slightly better than his predecessor. This move, which is effectively a ban on Africa, is wrong, and he should reconsider.

The economic costs will be significant. Nearly a half a million people travel to the United States from Africa during normal years. In addition, nearly 60,000 permanent immigrants settle here. This ban will harm the United States.
