This variant is already widespread. It is very unlikely that it is not already spreading in the US.

It is very likely it is not spreading in US at all, otherwise it would have long been found. US also does fair amount of genomic surveillance, a new strain would not be unnoticed. Anyway, there must be proof that it is already spreading in US before, before keeping the borders open.
