Illegal immigration may be tied to polio-like-illness: build the freaken wall

”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been unable to get to the bottom of the sudden spike in a rare illness that paralyzes children.

I am frustrated that despite all of our efforts we have not been able to find the cause of this mystery illness," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director at the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in a call with reporters Tuesday.”

What we do know is, during legal immigration, immigrants are tested for contagious diseases. But under illegal immigration, immigrants by-pass medical examinations which would detect contagious diseases.

See: Illegal Immigration and the Threat of Infectious Disease

”Illegal immigration may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated, but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB. This disease rose by 20% globally from 1985 to 1991, and was declared a worldwide emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1995. Furthermore, TB frequently occurs in connection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Fortunately, more than 90% of Central Americans are vaccinated against TB, according to the WHO.”

Is it not time for President Trump to take every possible measure, including the placement of national guard troops at our border, to prevent illegal entry into our country which is in fact promoting the general welfare of the United States and likewise protecting us from “invasions” which our Constitution commands our federal government to do?

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.

What does your post have to do with contagious diseases spread to American Citizens by illegal entrants?

We've known for years (even before 9/11/01) that pre-al Qaeda Islamists have been experimenting with biological weapons AWA chemical weapons.

No better way to intorduce a pathogen into a population than a human bum's rush of the border.

Also, it only takes one person infected with ebola hopping flights from Africa, to Europe, to the U.S. to start a global pandemic.

WTF? We have a "health issue" (to call it a "disease" at this point is pushing it) which has no known cause, cure, hasn't been shown to be contagious, and has never had a recognized chain of transmission... but it's sonehow "the illegals' fault"?!!

What a crock.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for going back to the Ellis Island model, and refusing entrance to ANYone who tests positive gor TB, HIV, multiple other non-indigenous diseases which are now being spread throughout the states, and who can't prove they've had the same vaccinations required for any American child to attend school.

But AFAIK, this flaccid paralysis syndrome hasn't been noted to be concentrated in any ethnic group, and to blame it on illegals is patently ridiculous.

Of course no American tourist or business traveler has ever brought any bug back to the US with him.

Cargo and passenger aircraft are frequently sprayed down with cargo and passengers inside in an attempt to keep bugs (the six legged kind) germs out, with limited success. This does nothing for infectious disease already present in a human host.

IIRC, land border crossers amount to half of all traffic across US borders.
