Fun fact, Nazi propaganda also went after jews blaming them for disease.

My wife immigrated to US this last March with a visa from Taiwan.


Nobody, even CBP, at the airport were blaming her for diseases. The whole immigration process was smooth at the airport.


Odd Maybe Trump prefers buddhist asian girls over catholic latinos?

But CNN and MSNBC told us they were perfectly healthy.

If your wife immigrated legally then she had to pass a health screening.

So you are saying that people who claim asylum arent getting a health screening? Why not?

Pointing out the fact that the migrants are sick is “fearmongering”. When one dies after getting across the border, its “Trumps fault”. Lol, you people Ya cant make this up

Yes, immigrants are sick implies all immigrants are sick, as opposed to like any other population group a percentage are. You do know the difference of being dehydrated from not consuming water than being ill from a disease.
Bottom line is my expectation as a voter is that immigrants illegal or otherwise are treated as human beings with respect, that we treat children as we would treat our own, process their claim deny or approve them couldn't care less as long as is not done in a capricious way.

The rest looks like a whole lot of fearmongering. Head lice OMG!! HIV?? Nobody here in the USA has HIV!! The typhus cases (all dozen of them) seem to have stemmed from the large homeless population in L.A., not from the migrants who were not anywhere near the border when it started. Maybe you could donate money to causes that help the homeless or go volunteer yourself! That would be more productive and helpful than posting conspiracy theory website articles.

Millions of people from nearly every country on earth visit the United States. Some of them carry in illnesses. Best thing to do is make sure you're vaccinated. You could hunker down in your house, lock your door, and cling to your gun, but that isn't going to give you any quality of life. The only thing to fear is fear itself and all that.

Because there are already some, more shouldn't matter = really lousy excuse (and the excuse anti-vaxxers and drunk drivers and petty thieves use, too, btw).

What kind of world do the Dems live in where all immigrants are upstanding people that only want to work and pay taxes. The criminals are the ones that take advantage of the poor immigrants and the real criminals that are serving time are victims of a racist justice system?



I wonder how the top Dems that champion for the Rights of illegal aliens would feel if one of their loved ones caught a strange disease from one of the "migrants"?

There are many American parents that refuse to get their kids immunized due to possible side affects so they are open to disease that has been eradicated in the US.



They all cry when a "migrant" child dies and it is sad but will they also shed tears when an American child dies after catching a disease from an illegal alien? I doubt it.

Ridiculous -- if protocol is followed, checking for illness is and always has been a part of the process. This makes it seem like regular health care checks aren't the standard --- they are.
