"Put pandemic politics aside and give the American people what they want."
That’s the message Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent to President Biden this week after Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic was denied entrance to the U.S. for the Miami Open tennis tournament because he opted out of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The world-class athlete was forced to withdraw from a California tournament currently taking place after the Department of Homeland Security denied his vaccine exemption request. This means he currently cannot play in the Miami tournament that starts in just a few weeks.
The pandemic emergency declaration still in effect allows Biden to deny entrance to unvaccinated foreigners. The emergency status is set to end on May 11, just over a month after the tournament ends.
"This denial is unfair, unscientific, and unacceptable... Let him play,” DeSantis, a supporter of the Convention of States movement, wrote in a letter. He added that the rules are misguided and out-of-date.

Florida Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio both voiced support for the Serbian tennis player as well, calling on Congress to take action to eliminate President Biden’s "bogus vaccine mandate."
But could he enter by boat? That’s a solution DeSantis proposed.
The CDC guidelines require all non-citizens or non-U.S. immigrants to be fully vaccinated before boarding a flight to the U.S. But that doesn’t say boats.
The option should be valid, as the southern border welcomes thousands of undocumented immigrants every day. The administration allowed over 2 million undocumented immigrants to flood through the southern border in fiscal year 2022, with not the slightest concern for vaccination status.
Just this week, the government awarded a biological man with a women's courage award, implying that facts are subjective and based on personal emotion.
Government hypocrisy at its finest.
We are told we are free people living in the freest country in the world. But our county won’t allow foreign travelers to legally enter the country with a passport if they didn’t submit to government health mandates.
This is exactly why we need to call a Convention of States.
As put by Gov. DeSantis, "We have to go around Congress to impose term limits and a balanced budget amendment."
