“We have, right now, a crisis with the coronavirus, this is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”
If you allow Americans to return from China but don't let Chinese nationals come in then it's xenophobic. They each have the same chance of carrying the virus.
Are you ill?

Of course
Why would a country give preference to their own citizens to come home
what a racist idea
Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas,I find it somewhat amusing that the folks on the other side of the aisle that claimed this virus to be a hoax, exaggerated, overblown, etc. are the ones self-quarantining. I think every single one is a Republican.

That’s weak sauce. Americans have a right to be here, Chinese nationals don’t. There’s nothing xenophobic in saying “we will let our own citizens return home but no others will be allowed”.If you allow Americans to return from China but don't let Chinese nationals come in then it's xenophobic. They each have the same chance of carrying the virus.
The Americans live here. Cripes is it xenophobic that I don’t allow people that don’t live in my house at the dinner table? You don’t allow people from an infected country in, and you quarantine citizens returning. That’s just basic common sense.If you allow Americans to return from China but don't let Chinese nationals come in then it's xenophobic. They each have the same chance of carrying the virus.
Yes because if an epidemic is isolated to the Arabian peninsula, you obviously rush out to order test kits in the US. Unlike this newer virus that has spread to over 110 countries in a few months. Both of those are equal events. Come on Bobsyourdumbuncle get with it.Oh yeah I forgot if you classify something as a pandemic then test kits build themselves.
It could be xenophobia or it could be totally failed crisis management. The administration blocked non-U.S. citizens from entering the US if they had visited China within 14 days yet placed no restrictions on travelers from South Korea and Italy. Wildly inconsistent.If you allow Americans to return from China but don't let Chinese nationals come in then it's xenophobic. They each have the same chance of carrying the virus.
Non of those were isolated. They all had cases in the United States and the CDC has to rush to find ways to test people. The CDC doesn’t just say “ah well most cases are somewhere else so no need to test anyone here.” The whole way they know how the disease is spreading is by testing people with symptoms.Yes because if an epidemic is isolated to the Arabian peninsula, you obviously rush out to order test kits in the US.

Wait, so you believe people in the US will die from this pandemic and that it's not a hoax or overblown?The Americans live here. Cripes is it xenophobic that I don’t allow people that don’t live in my house at the dinner table? You don’t allow people from an infected country in, and you quarantine citizens returning.

But I guess people have to die now so nobody calls us xenophobes and we melt from being called a name.
You are ill informed. The ME virus is largely confined to the arabian peninsula, as was ebola, and zika to their regions. None of those became pandemics. They were regional epidemics. Were there a few cases outside the region, sure, but they didn't spread like this is spreading.Non of those were isolated.

But please go ahead... keep calling Trump a racist when he tried to enact some common sense border security.
