Two decades ago the US destroyed the disease of Measles in the USA. This year we had an outbreak in NY that was pretty serious. The unspoken truth here is that the influx of illegal aliens has transferred the disease here from down south. With Legal (AKA Real) Immigration, those coming in are checked for sickness prior to entry. These people can be treated, and welcomed!
Those ignoring our law get a pass, and come in however they are, with zero review of any kind! So legal and medical concerns are being ignored, for liberal political reasons; and our citizens die!
Article on the measles outbreak from the science digest:

New York state’s measles outbreak, which has been going on so long it raised fears the disease would regain a foothold in the United States, appears to be on the verge of finally ending.
Officials in Rockland County, N.Y., on September 25 declared their outbreak over. The New York State Department of Health is still keeping a close eye on whether any new measles cases occur in two nearby counties that are considered part of the outbreak that began in Rockland on October 1.
It looks like NY may dodge a bullet, and by giving out almost 30,000 inoculations; seems to have stopped the outbreak! This is a direct result of NOT controlling our borders!
The last measles cases in Sullivan County and Orange County, New York, were reported on August 15 and August 19, respectively. A measles outbreak can be declared finished 42 days after the date that the last person with measles developed a rash. That means if there are no new cases, the New York state outbreak could come to an end just before the deadline for losing elimination status.
Other open border countries are seeing the same problem, and some were not so lucky!
So far this year, measles has reestablished itself in four countries where it previously had been eliminated: the United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and the Czech Republic. In a written statement, the CDC said the agency “is hopeful that the U.S. will maintain its measles elimination status,” but that “we are not out of the woods yet.”

If we can't get, and keep control of this problem, our over vaccinated kids will pay the price with another vaccine! They get way too many already, and all we need to do is follow our existing Laws, and this will quickly become an interesting Historic irregularity!
U.S. measles cases have soared to the highest number since the disease was declared eliminated in the country in 2000. The 2019 tally now stands at 695 cases, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. That surpasses the previous high of 667 cases in 2014.
“The high number of cases in 2019 is primarily the result of a few large outbreaks — one in Washington State and two large outbreaks in New York that started in late 2018,” according to a statement released by the CDC April 24. “The outbreaks in New York City and New York State are among the largest and longest lasting since measles elimination in 2000. The longer these outbreaks continue, the greater the chance measles will again get a sustained foothold in the United States.”
OUR CHILDREN deserve better than this! For some silly ass liberal political perceived advantage; we are risking their lives. This can NEVER become acceptable; they should be ashamed of themselves!
