It’s only racist when Trump does it!
Beijing Biden Rescinds President Trump’s Executive Order Banning Chinese Involvement in Our Power Grid
Beijing Biden Beckons China To Take Over The U.S. Power Grid
Joe Biden called Trump a xenophobe for imposing travel moratoriums on non-citizens from China, Europe, and other countries deemed Covid hot spots.
Shortly after Trump imposed a travel ban on China last year, Biden came out and labeled him a xenophobe.
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.

Biden also attacked Trump for his so-called “Africa ban” in February.
Trump further diminished the U.S. in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban. This new “African Ban,” is designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed. https://t.co/oePD5eSAWY

Here we are one year later and Joe Biden is banning travelers from Africa, Europe, Brazil, and UK.
Joe Biden is expected to reinstate the travel ban on the UK, parts of Europe, and South Africa as soon as Monday.
NBC reported:
President Joe Biden plans to sign restrictions Monday on travel to the United States to mitigate Covid-19 transmission, two White House officials confirmed Sunday.
The ban would prevent 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 virus has killed more than 418,000 people and infected upward of 25 million across the U.S., according to an NBC News tracker.
Biden is also expected to reinstate broader restrictions that were in effect much of the past year but were rescinded by President Donald Trump days before his term ended. The limits would 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.
Meanwhile, Biden told Mexico’s president that the United States would reduce migration by raising migration, according to a White House statement.
The January 23 White House statement said:
President [Joe Biden] outlined his plan to reduce migration by … increasing [migrant] resettlement capacity and lawful alternative immigration pathways [in the United States], improving processing at the [U.S.] border to adjudicate [migrants’] requests for asylum, and reversing the previous administration’s draconian immigration policies.
Biden told Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that he also plans “to reduce migration by addressing its root causes.”
The statement suggests that Biden will try to reduce illegal migration into Americans’ workplaces by raising legalized migration into Americans’ workplaces…wait wait wait…wasn’t President Trump called racist for also attempting to reduce illegal immigration?
Overall, any increase in the supply of foreign workers reduces Americans’ wages and inflates cheap-labor profits for CEOs and investors. Currently, the United States government imports roughly 1 million legal immigrants and roughly 1 million temporary workers each year, just as roughly 4 million Americans begin their work careers.
In 2019, President Donald Trump’s popular curbs on migration and illegal hiring helped raise Americans’ household income by 7 percent.
Biden and his deputies face a difficult task balancing their efforts to carefully extract more workers and consumers from Central America while also trying to prevent a chaotic migration of people seeking U.S. jobs and homes.
The White House statement said, “the two leaders agreed to work closely to stem the flow of irregular migration to Mexico and the United States, as well as to promote development in the Northern Triangle of Central America.”
