Biden Issues Indian Travel Ban A Year After Calling Trump's China Travel Ban Xenophobic (thefederalist.com)
30 Apr 2021 ~~ Bt Tristan Justice
The Biden administration announced Friday it would begin to restrict travel from India on Tuesday as the world’s second-most populated country suffers an overwhelming surge in coronavirus cases.
“On the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the administration will restrict travel from India starting immediately,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. “The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in India. The policy will take effect on Tuesday, May 4.”
The travel ban comes a year after Biden vilified such restrictions as xenophobic when pursued by President Donald Trump while the Wuhan virus began to mutate into a global pandemic from China.
“This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia,” Biden said campaigning in Iowa on Jan. 31, the day Trump’s travel ban on China was announced.
Biden now appears to embrace the policies he once vilified, banning travel from India as the coronavirus develops into a humanitarian crisis. The densely-populated nation reported new record-high death tolls Wednesday and Thursday, averaging an estimated 3,050 deaths each day from the Chinese virus, according to Johns Hopkins University.
U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and humanitarian workers among others will be exempt from the Indian travel ban, according to one administration official in the Wall Street Journal. Those traveling, however, will be subject to quarantine and testing requirements.

The hypocrisy is astounding...... Meanwhile his immigration policy has created a Super spreader for the Wuhan Covid-19 virus and it's new mutations from Central and South America.
Chyna Joey Xi's hypocrisy and lies are getting thin enough that far left is starting to see through them now and starting to point them out and the "misspeaks" that were ignored are getting louder. Tide is turning, slow as crap, but it is turning.
Hy Joey, now you won't have to worry about running into a slight Indian accent at 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts in the future------Chyna Jose Xi & Kamaltoe Commie Harris have a new plan------from now on when you go to any gas station or any where else----you will need to be able to speak SPANISH!!!!!
From what I hear-----Aside from having to carry around our CDC Vaccine Card------We will also have to carry around a card that says--fluent in Spanish!
"Xenophobic" Trends on Twitter After Hypocrite Biden Bans Travel from India -- After He Called Trump Xenophobe for Banning Travel from China and Africa | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
Why is Joe Biden such a xenophobe and racist?www.thegatewaypundit.com
Your rhetoric on the matter is indeed "astounding". On January 31 the covid was in its early stages around the world and the blob was simply slapping China for its exporting policies. You do remember that the blob stated that there would be little or no spread of the virus here since he had it under control. He obviously had nothing under control.
Now we have a grave situation due to the unfettered spread of the covid in India and Biden is certainly doing the right thing in this case. So give him credit rather than look for ways to denigrate this very capable president.
Biden is not a capable president..he's a senile crook selling out america. Virus came from china----it makes sense to stop their people from traveling here spreading it.....
If the vaccine works why so afraid of the Indians? The virus has spread everywhere in the US----but Biden fears the Indians? What does it matter on top of this with biden letting the illegals who are infected flood into the US?
There was no vaccine for the Indians, son. Many Americans like you have refused to get the vaccine, and why tempt fate by taking the chance that the virus would not come here? Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Those children on the other side of the border would spread the virus here anyway
because the border is only an imaginary line and they had to be vaccinated whether here or there. Let's not forget their suffering.
Relative to Biden--He is hardly senile and is saving America from the chaos and
hatred that Trump, a true senile if you are listening to his daily rants, has created
in foreign affairs and America with his divisiveness, bluster, and lost trade wars.
Trump is as crooked as they come and does not care about you. A grifter was in the White House.
