White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that new testing requirements might be required for all people traveling into the U.S., but with regard to new COVID-19 restrictions for illegal immigrants, Fauci said, "That's a different issue."
"You advised the president about the possibility of new testing requirements for people coming into this country, does that include everybody?" Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Fauci at a briefing Wednesday.
"What about these border crossers?" Doocy pressed.
"That's a different issue," Fauci replied.
"We still have Title 42 with regard to protection at the border, so there are protections at the border," Fauci went on to say, referencing public health order Title 42, implemented by the Trump administration in March 2020.
"You don't have the capability, as you know, of somebody getting on a plane, getting checked, looking at a passport. We don't have that there, but we can get some degree of mitigation," Fauci continued.
President Joe Biden's policy, which is being considered, would require all travelers entering the country, including U.S. citizens, to provide proof of a negative test regardless of vaccination status no more than three days before their flight, according to Fox News.
