If they can keep the Moderna, and Pfizer vaccine, at below freeing?

I just picture America the "great" delivering vaccines, and there's no infrastructure on the other end.

On a selfish note, I wouldn't mind closing all ports of entry until this virus is truly under control.

I don’t understand what closing all ports of entry will do (in USA) at this point. The virus is already here and all travel to USA requires a negative covid test taken at most 72 hrs before flight.

Good luck closing the U.S. southern border.

That’s not really the concern. Foot travel is ridiculously slow. This virus travels by air, first class.

People board buses and planes once they cross the border.

Not likely planes. The most mobile people are the richest.

It's not expensive if you're not paying for it. Immigration administration flies people from the border to the interior for processing and release.[0]

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which turns over border crossers to ICE after arresting them, has begun flying migrants to other cities for processing and is releasing them directly into communities without going through ICE, saying their own facilities are at capacity." [1]
