The House recently passed a bill that would remove COVID-19 vaccine requirements for air travel to the United States by non-residents. The United States is among the few countries that still require a COVID-19 vaccine card to enter for any reason, the other is China.
I am almost convinced that this mandate is a deliberate effort to keep conservative people in Europe (particularly Ukraine) from leaving to the United States, while the southern border stays completely open to anyone willing to cross illegally.
If you're one of those "call your senator" types, I'd encourage you to call, especially if your senator is a Democrat.

I don't think that many people are leaving to the US right now. Byzantine immigration rules, food is trash, healthcare is a protected industry no one can afford. There are just so many other countries which are a better deal. IMO the rule is just a political "use the power of the state to make The Other Guys lives miserable" thing. Quiet civil war.
