Psaki won't say if Biden admin will require migrants to be vaccinated as it considers mandate for legal travel

White House press secretary Jen Psaki did not say Thursday whether the Biden administration will require vaccines for migrants coming across the southern border even as she acknowledged that the administration is considering mandating vaccines for foreign travelers entering the United States.

But Psaki dodged a question directly asking whether the administration would require migrants in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to get vaccinated as hundreds of thousands rush across the U.S. border every month. Thousands of them are being released into American cities.  "That's not what the CBP is doing," Psaki said of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) administering vaccines. "There are NGOs and other international organizations who are vaccinating migrants as they come across the border as they work in partnership with us. Certainly that helps keep a range of people safe in the country."
