The Biden administration has been offering the COVID-19 vaccine to people in immigration detention centers or shelters but hasn't yet offered it to other migrants who've crossed the border — much less required it.
“Since the beginning of the administration, we have put in place public health protocols that prioritize the health of border communities, agents and migrants," a White House spokesperson told Axios.
The administration is "always evaluating" those protocols, including the use of vaccines, "but no final determinations have been made," the official added.Story continuescontractors would begin providing vaccines to migrants attempting to cross the border illegally — or through legal ports of entry — before they're allowed into the U.S.
Contractors are lined up and could be deployed within 48 hours once given the go-ahead by the White House and agencies responsible for the funding, a senior DHS official told Axios.The proposal originated with DHS and is being considered by President Biden. It also would require migrants to receive a second dose of the vaccine as a condition for parole — the legal mechanism allowing them to live and work in the U.S., even without legal status, ahead of court hearings.
The agency is looking into ways to enforce compliance, according to an internal, inter-agency document obtained by Axios.On Wednesday morning, the administration defended its use of Title 42 to turn back migrants who illegally cross the border, without a chance at asylum. DOJ and the White House do not believe expanded vaccination at the border would substantially increase the risk of legal action against Title 42, according to the document.Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
