Just my opinion
JUST MY OPINION> We have fought long and hard in this country to irradicate illnesses, such as measles, mumps, tuberculosis. Yet there are still some people who think President Trump is wrong by keeping unvaccinated, undocumented ILLEGAL immigrants from pouring over our borders. They are bringing the diseases to our children, in the schools, playgrounds wherever. Unknowing innocent children are being exposed everyday. We don't want another measle epidemic do we? In texas alone there has been a major increase in these infectious diseases. Don't get me wrong, the children are innocent, its the parents who should go through the process to get here legally, get their shots and vaccinations and be legal like the rest of us. How on earth anyone can vote for a democrat that condones this and supports late term abortions is just unbelievable. People please open your eyes and keep these idiots out of office, before its too late

There's a growing health concern over illegal immigrants bringing infectious diseases into the United States. Approximately 500,000 legal immigrants and 80,000 refugees come to the United States each year, and an additional 700,000 illegal immigrants enter annually, and three-quarters of these illegal immigrants come from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Legal immigrants and refugees are required to have a medical examination for migration to the United States, while they are still overseas. This is the responsibility of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which provide instructions to the Panel Physicians who conduct the medical exams. The procedure consists of a physical examination, an evaluation (skin test/chest x-ray examination) for tuberculosis (TB), and blood test for syphilis. Requirements for vaccination are based on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Individuals who fail the exam due to certain health-related conditions are not admitted to the United States. Such conditions include drug addiction or communicable diseases of public health significance such as TB, syphilis, gonorrhoea, leprosy, and a changing list of current threats such as polio, cholera, diphtheria, smallpox, or severe acute respiratory syndromes. Illegal immigrants crossing into the United States could bring any of these threats, however. Southern Texas Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera warns: "What's coming over into the US could harm everyone. We are starting to see scabies, chicken pox, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, and different viruses."
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.
