Not only that, we now have millions of illegal immigrants, who come in
without proper immunization. That has already led to disease outbreaks.
This is a matter of national security. We need every man, legal or not,
to be seen by a health professional to make sure they are not carriers
of TB or other dangerous pathogens, never mind what mite be introduced
by terrorists as biologicals before sending them across the border.
We need to close off the border. If a serious pandemic broke out among
the millions of poor in Latin America, where the immune systems are
impaired by poor nutrition and health services are wanting, there'd be a
mass attempt to enter the USA, which would spread the disease here.
Curious that nobody asks McCain about this.
