| While frustrated Americans
across the country struggle to get their government-funded COVID-19
vaccine, a national drug store chain is apologizing for mistakenly denying
illegal immigrants the shot. The pharmacy retail giant, Rite Aid,
reportedly turned away two women at separate stores in southern California.
In one of the cases, the illegal immigrant provided a foreign
identification card that is not valid in the U.S. The pharmacist insisted
on a social security card, telling the woman that American citizens have
priority, according to a local news report. The woman’s son
complained about the pharmacist on social media and a local congressman got
involved, confirming that there is no legal residence requirement at the
federal, state, or local level. |
