Reference to illegal migrants
Arizona is suing Biden’s vaccination rules
In the fight against the rising number of corona infections, US President Biden is also relying on mandatory vaccination for federal employees. This is “unconstitutional,” says the Arizona Attorney General. His reasoning: The guidelines put US citizens at a disadvantage compared to illegal migrants.
Arizona became the first US state to go to court against President Joe Biden’s new corona vaccination requirements. Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich said mandatory vaccination for federal employees and vaccination or testing for employees of large business owners were “unconstitutional.”
“The government cannot force people to get vaccinated against Covid-19,” said the Republican. The government of the Democrat Biden disregarded the current laws once more in order to “advance its radical agenda”.
In the lawsuit filed with a federal court, Brnovich argues that the new vaccination requirements would put US citizens at a disadvantage compared to “illegal migrants” – they are not subject to any compulsory vaccination. “There are no vaccination requirements for migrants who illegally cross the southern (US) border.” This represents an “unconstitutional preference for illegal migrants”. Arizona is on the border with Mexico.
Last week, in view of the sharp rise in the number of infections, Biden announced a corona vaccination requirement for federal employees and employees of government contractors. In addition, companies with more than 100 employees should have to ensure that their employees are vaccinated or tested once a week. According to Biden, the measures affect around one hundred million people.
The Republicans of ex-President Donald Trump immediately announced an appeal against the vaccination requirements. The conservatives are strictly against compulsory vaccinations and also reject orders to wear a mask.
In the USA, the number of corona infections and deaths has risen sharply again since July. Experts attribute this primarily to the spread of the delta variant. In addition, there are a large number of people in the USA who do not want to be vaccinated, while the corona restrictions have been completely lifted in many parts of the country.
