Right now we don't think the facts warrant more active testing or screening of passengers coming in from Mexico," she said at a White House briefing.

TRANSLATION: "We can't tick off the Hispanic voters."

Janet and her trained goons have more important people to screen.

By the way, the fact that TSA goons carry badges should outrage every legitimate police officer in the nation.

News this afternoon was that the golden thread is that all cases have a Mexican connection. Yes, it is true!!

A patient in a mental hospital has his last test to determine if he is ready to return home. He is taken into a room with the faucet running and the sink overflowing. He is handed a mop and told to clean up the mess. If he fails to turn off the faucet before mopping, he stays in the mental hospital.

The faucet is the Mexican border in this case. Do we turn it off, or stay in the insane asylum??

It is often better for people to get infected from early generations of a new disease than later mutations.

Why??

Later generations, in this case, appear to be mutating into something more deadly.
