Commentary: The Subordinate Citizen

I recently led a group of about 100 citizens to tour Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry.

Anxieties swept the group as Israeli testers swabbed them.

Anyone testing positive would have to delay his return. That quarantine would entail spending thousands of dollars in finding scarce hotel accommodations, additional living expenses, and rebooked airline tickets—depending upon the length of the mandatory sequestration.

Contrast the tens of thousands of foreign nationals now mustering to cross illegally into the United States again this summer. They follow the already 2 million who have entered the country unlawfully since Joe Biden became president.

    Thanks for including Prof Hanson's opinion piece. He's spot on as usual and we DO have a dual-lane system of justice in this country. There's "Just-Us", then the rest of us. That needs to end and many of these players should swing or at least be locked up in Gitmo following the mid-terms and the '24 election.

  3. The thing is that Israel is still a functioning Democratic Nation State unlike us

  4. That happened to a former high school classmate of mine and his wife. A positive "rona" test caught them as they were leaving Israel so they got to spend a couple more weeks there. Their return to CONUS would have been quicker and cheaper had they taken the wetback route.
