Presidential Candidate Joe Biden said of Trump's travel bans...President Joe Biden signed restrictions Monday on travel to the United States to mitigate Covid-19 transmission.
The ban prevents most non-U.S. citizens from entry if they have recently been in South Africa, where a new strain of Covid-19 has been identified.
The limits affect non-U.S. citizens traveling from the United Kingdom, Ireland and much of Europe in what is known as the Schengen countries, which share a common visa process. Travelers from Brazil would also be affected.

March 12, 2020“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
March 18, 2020“A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it. This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet — and we need a plan to combat it.”
So evidently "xenophobic fear-mongering" is NOW the prudent thing to do since he's become president? Wondering if he's considering new border wall construction too?“Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job.”
