Any way one wishes to spin it: if that flu develops into the worst case scenario in Mexico...........the demand to secure the border will be overwhelming.

Not necessarily. One can be infected and not exhibit symptoms until an estimated 2-5 days later. Thus, we have no idea of the true magnitude of this problem, or the number of infected illegal aliens who have entered our country from Mexico.

As long as our borders remain open, and thousands are permitted to illegally enter our country on a daily basis, we are at risk for this particular contagion and countless others. It’s a miracle we’ve escaped a pandemic thus far, considering we have millions of unscreened illegals living in our country.

Here is a link that will give you an idea of where it started.

Action eAlert: Pandemic Risk from Big Pharm Vaccine Contamination “Accident”
The "Andromeda Strain" Mexican style ?? Typical Mexican bull sh-t. This is just a rerun of that old "Export every disease you can, "Movie from Mexico City". It was e-coli on veggies to start with, cases of TB after that, and the list goes on, and on. Pass that ball all you want, it still bounces right back to Mexico. They should seal the border with armed troops while they can. What next? Smallpox?

its sad, very sad to see and wish for something when we really dont have control of

why do I say no control of? because I am still checking and they have not closed the borders.

bottom line, our laws our principles dont mean a thing, why because we really dont stand for anything.

our politicians and the rich like most of you comment here
"dont care about us" money is what they see, and if someday we do end with illegal immigration because to many it seems like the main event in our daily problems seems to be related to illegals, our society doesnt
respect, nobody we are selfish and we have so many problems that hopefully god, or what ever you believed in have mercy on us.

these might be a false alarm, but when the real alarm comes knocking on our door hopefully we really are clean from sin and start praying like never before.

And you can bet that Americans will take upon themselves to do it, by any means necessary!
