On Monday, the Biden administration said undocumented immigrants should receive COVID-19 vaccines and ensured federal authorities will not conduct immigration enforcement operations within vaccine distribution sites or clinics. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a statement saying, “It is a moral and public health imperative to ensure that all individuals residing in the United States have access to the vaccine.” Many undocumented immigrants reside in communities where the coronavirus hit hard. Advocates say some immigrants are hesitant about engaging with government-led vaccination efforts after the Trump administration targeted them over the last four years. CNN Politics

Here I am.  I'm 73 and will have my fourth heart operation next week and illegal immigrants have been moved to getting COVID before I.  Isn't this a great country for non-citizens; but no so much for people who have worked and paid taxes for 45 years and served in the Navy.  That means absolutely noting to commiecrats.

All this means is that DHS will not conduct enforcement actions near vaccination locations. It has zero to do with vaccination priorities.
