It is known that Republican lawmakers protested against President Joe Biden's decision to ban travel from India. MP Tim Barchett had tweeted that, India is our ally and we are banning travel from there, while the border to Mexico has been left open. This is not a logical decision. At the same time, another Republican lawmaker Jody Arrington said, Biden's decision is the same as if you lock the front door, but leave the back door open. "I think it is like disliking other countries," said Lauren Boebert, a female MP. When former US President Donald Trump banned travel from Europe, Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate, opposed Trump's decision.
