The Biden administration, and the Department of Homeland Security, have decided to further strain supply chains, by closing the Canadian and Mexico borders to unvaccinated truckers. This, because of an Omicron surge that is beginning to wane, so much so, that countries like Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have begun to ease some of their Covid restrictions, and Britain’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has lifted all of their Covid mandates, and decided to live with Covid. With the Omicron variant turning out to be a swift moving dud, with fewer hospitalizations and deaths, it would appear that the Biden administration is grasping at straws, by allowing this latest mandate to take effect. It’s the truckers fault! But, if you’re an illegal alien, and breaking United Sates laws, the gates are wide open, Covid infected or not. The Biden administration, is propagandizing Covid 19 with this latest mandate, by saying it’s for the safety of public health, but in reality, all they are doing, is bringing an already devastated supply chain and economy, closer to the brink of disaster.
It’s the Truck Drivers That Are Spreading Covid!
Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, said in a statement, that the reason for the mandates, was to protect the public health and safely facilitate cross border trade and travel.
“Starting on January 22, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security will require that non-U.S. individuals entering the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals along our Northern and Southern borders be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and be prepared to show related proof of vaccination. These updated travel requirements reflect the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to protecting public health while safely facilitating the cross-border trade and travel that is critical to our economy.”
This is a complete sham, and only shows how out of touch and complicit the Biden administration is, in trying to prolong a non existent pandemic, from a virus that is proving less and less deadly.
NEW: Beginning Saturday, January 22, DHS will require non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the U.S, via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for #COVID19 and provide related proof of vaccination.

Canada Could Lose 32,000 of Their Truck Drivers
Canada has instituted the same requirement at their border, and will only help fuel an already out of control supply chain crisis for both Canada and the U.S. 160,000 truck drivers cross the Canadian border regularly, and 75% of them are Canadian. The Canadian Trucking Alliance is estimating that 20% of truckers will be lost as a result of the mandates, resulting in disastrous and disruptive consequences. That’s 32,000 truckers out of 160,000 that will be forced out of a job and not on the road. The Canadian Trucking Alliance stated that they were already short 18,000 truckers before the mandates even hit. The Unites States is in the same position, resulting in more and more bare shelves at grocery stores and retail outlets.
An Unnecessary Mandate That Will Only Add to a Teetering Economy
A Covid vaccine mandate for truckers is almost like requiring a vaccine mandate for remote workers who work out of their homes. Truckers hardly interact with the public, and pose an incalculable threat, when it comes to the transmission of Covid. This mandate by the Biden administration, is arbitrary, and just proves how infantile they are in their governing. The United States is seeing an inflation rate that is at a 40 year high. It is a self inflicted wound that is gangrenous, and spreading. The Covid vaccine mandate for truckers is just going to add more salt to the wound and help rapidly advance an already teetering economy. If we don’t do something about it quickly, we will see grocery stores closing, farms letting their livestock and crops rot and die, and prices soar to unfathomable heights.
The Economy is in the Toilet and Joe is Eating More Ice Cream
The Biden administration is doing everything they can, to keep the Covid reign going, as the country falls apart around them. Joe Biden’s polling numbers are in the toilet, and if it were any other President, they would have been forced to alter course by now. But with a complicit media, that will never happen. The United Sates was in a great place a year and a half ago with the economy. We were the number one exporter of fossil fuels, gas prices were at record lows, inflation was non existent, and 12 months ago, if Joe Biden had just left well enough alone, and not done anything, the economy would be something they could tout and falsely take credit for. But instead, we have a President that says he doesn’t believe the poll numbers, has video chats in front of a taxpayer prop(what the hell is up with that anyway?), thinks he has had more accomplishments than any President before him, is eating ice cream, and smiling and winking at us, while the world around him burns.
