"As a physician ... I am concerned about the possibility of communicable diseases being carried by a population that does not have the same vaccination requirements as in the U.S.," he wrote, echoing a call made by several prominent Republicans that the children could be carrying diseases.

Nice.
Disease ridden, law-breaking, "sons & daughters of Obama"/parasites-on-the-US-taxpayers/cover for terrorists entering the country are called "migrant children" by this moron.

All these “children” need to be quarantined and then RETURNED to their home countries! We do not know what kinds of diseases they carry — so far it has been lice, scabies, and drug-resistant TB — but, what if there's plague or Ebola or smallpox or some other horrendous diseases?
