Agreed.

The words "pandemic" and "travel" are mutually exclusive to those selfless
individuals who follow science and are part of the solution rather than part
of the problem.

Aye.

I respect Canadian officials keeping the border closed, especially when the US promotes the free flow of illegal immigrants on our southern border, many of which carry the COVID virus.

no doubt, my brother lives in Argentina and was talking about visiting, I suggested he join caravan and walk up. He wouldn't have to mess with covid protocols and could probably also get a bunch of free stuff.
I'd like to head up north of Edmonton and visit relatives. They don't have any buffalo just a bunch of registered Jersey cows......an odd career, my cousin's son travels all over the world grooming show cattle, he must be like the Vidal Sasoon of dairy cattle

Sorry had no intention of drawing the rath of others, just poking fun at the absurdity of the situation.

I think the wrath came from your premise below (or was that part of the joke too?):

Maybe we should just talk boating.

Raw number for border enforcement encounters by year.

Biden admin to its credit started vaccinations of migrants as well.

Only about 15-20% of migrants at the border actually had covid. That they were dispersed throughout the country had more to do with pure numbers and the goal to spread the group around and out of border areas. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/18-percent-migrant-families-leaving-border-patrol-custody-tested-positive-n1276244

No surprise that more people are coming to the US as the economy picks up. We need them to reduce the labor costs at the lower end job scale otherwise we would see higher inflation than we already do. And we all need cheap labor.
