If I would have been open to a deeper border inspection, can you imagine how much liberty others will sacrifice for security if things get worse? It’s going to take all of us to flatten this curve, ensuring fewer people get sick and fewer civil rights are stripped away. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, I’m reflecting on how using our privilege inside our borders will protect our health and InshaAllah by extension our civil rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Zahra Billoo @ZahraBilloo

I frequently post about using our privilege at borders to protect our civil rights. The last time I returned to the US, I urged, “those of us with the privilege to cross borders freely also have a responsibility to continue to fight back.” — PolitiTweet.org

I could be an asymptomatic carrier. I could be lying. For once, I would have appreciated a more thoughtful and thorough border inspection. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s it. That’s all. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic, I am traveling home, to a region with the top 3 highest number of cases and deaths in the US, and that is all they asked me. To be clear, there was no explicit mention of #CoronaVirus or #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

I keep wondering about the elderly workers, why were they, those most in danger, even out tonight? Medicare for all and paid sick leave would protect them and all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

We were ushered through the lines by government and private contract workers. Some kept their distance, most did not. Some had masks and gloves, most did not. — PolitiTweet.org
