It’s okay to name the source because they are Amish. Were it an enclave of illegals we’d never know it.
I figure they must have taken a Conestoga wagon to Aberdeen, Wash. where they could catch either the Lady Washington or the Hawaiian Chieftain, sailing ships that operate out of that port--although they usually sail up and down the coast and not as far as the Philippines.
More concerned with folks going there, vaccinated, then coming back here, with no quarantine period, no medical check, etc., and spreading it.
I though we pretty much eradicated measles... evidently not.
How are you, Dawg Sister? Things are well with you, I hope...
The Amish do not go begging for rides. Driving the Amish is a business in communities like Holmes county. The Amish pay a certain fare per mile to be driven somewhere farther than they could get with a buggy in about an hour’s time. Or they will use a driving service if they need to go to the store and get perishables in the summer.
They fly. Most of those doing mission work are New Order Amish. They are not prohibited from flying, owning telephones, using electricity, or owning cars, in some groups. Like all Amish groups, the rules vary from church district to church district, and they cannot be generalized.
You think that’s bad, how ‘bout THIS piece of insanity.
If you want to come here from another country and get your Green Card, you have to pass a battery of medical tests to prove that you are not carrying any communicable diseases.
However, if you are coming into this country on an H1B or other temporary work visa, NO such tests are required!
You can live her for up to six years on an H1B.
I have known people who lived in the country for six years before being sent out to undergo a battery of medical tests prior to applying for their Green Cards.
After six years, we’ve pretty much been exposed to everything they might have had.
sigh....
HOW is the bigger question. Do they ride their horses to the Philippines?
