Facing criticism for his handling of the spread of COVID-19 inside the U.S., President Donald Trump has repeatedly resorted to a familiar reflex: blame foreigners.
The country is confronting a “foreign virus,” Trump told the nation from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office on Wednesday. Travelers from Europe, he said, had “seeded” clusters of the virus in the U.S. and, as a result, his Administration is blocking travel between the U.S. and most of Europe for 30 days starting Friday at midnight.
Trump’s decision to block passengers from Europe, and how he sold it Wednesday night, echoed his comments in recent weeks that linked his response to the virus to the tough immigration measures his Administration has put in place and his 2016 campaign promise to build a border wall. “Border security is also health security, and you’ve all seen the wall has gone up like magic,” Trump said during a rally in North Charleston, S.C. on Feb. 28, when talking about the spread of COVID-19. Strict border measures are one of the reasons the number of cases in the U.S. is low, Trump said, adding “we will do everything in our power to keep the infection and those carrying the infection from entering our country.”
On Tuesday, in response to a tweet about the “China Virus,” Trump wrote that the wall is “Going up fast. We need the Wall more than ever!” Within hours, Rep. Katherine Clark, a Democrat from Massachusetts, asked the director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, during a Congressional hearing whether there were any agency recommendations that border barriers would be “of any use in mitigation” the outbreak of COVID-19. “Not that I’ve seen,” Redfield said. (To say nothing of the fact that there are just 12 confirmed cases in Mexico.)
Cecilia Mu?oz, who was the director of President Barack Obama’s domestic policy council from 2012 to 2017, says Trump’s repeated comments about the wall and closing the borders is “a clear signal that he’s focused on the wrong things.” The virus is already in the United States, says Mu?oz. “The problem at the border is obviously a political imperative for him. That’s fine we can have that conversation, but it has nothing to with the spread of this virus,”
