What’s the incubation period on Swine Flu? 7 days? 14? 21? 3? How many infected people can cross the border—legally and illegaly—in those time frames? The mind boggles.
They only care when THEY could be affected.
4,000 dead Americans per year illegal crime and accidents
Billion upon billions wasted on social services
Schools flooded
Crime skyrocketing
Courts overwhelmed
...I think at some point, WE may need to deport these illegal aliens ourselves.
Where were you 8 years ago, Congressman?
“Congressman calls for Mexican border to be closed”
Why, Is there anyone still over there? I thought they were all here in California.
I’ve been wishing they’d stop the infestation from Messico for decades.
This will never happen. This pol is just covering his a— so if a huge outbreak occurs, he can boast, “Hey, I was the first to call to close the border.” It would make a great campaign ad.
Ha...fat chance of that happening. We had 9/11 and the borders should have been secured 9/12. Didn’t happen. Deadly flu...not a chance. In fact, I would not be surprised one bit if this is used as an excuse to keep the borders open. Remember the SPP...lots of information there about cooperating with Mexico during pandemics. I wonder if that includes any agreement for “shared resources”, i.e., medical care.
I also wonder if they’ll stop the protests of the millions of “immigrants” who are planning to take to the streets here on May 1.
Let’s close it permanently.
Surprising this is coming from a Democrat in NY.
“The White House offered assurances that President Obama, who visited Mexico a week ago, is fine. “The president’s trip to Mexico has not put his health in any danger,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.”
I wonder just how “fine” he is. I find it interesting that the man who has found ANY little excuse to get his mugg on TV has not shown up over this....unless I missed it?
Among other issues, it's called demographics. Adding to the problem, as FR guy ArrogantBustard's tagline correctly says (Western Civilization is Aborting, Buggering, and Contracepting itself out of existence.)
Take a gander here at these ominous and sobering facts facing Europe and Muslim's, and our country as well in addition to immigration from Mexico coming down the pike mentioned near the end...question is how long before Cinco de Mayo becomes a paid national holiday? Might be worth passing on to others you know:
A Democrat said that?!! I’m disappointed that no Republican has called for that and shocked that a Democrat has at the same time.
What can I say....Master of the obvious? Day Late, dollar short? If only they had heeded the concerns a couple years ago...:(
he probably doesn’t want it closed to illegals I would bet.... someone should check his voting record.... illegals have been bringing ‘old world’ diseases into the US for a long time.
RACIST !
THAT’s IT !
Jump on it,nail it....Close the border now and highlight that it should have been done many years ago...
Just waiting to hear the true Republicans(Conservatives)on this and.... the RHINOS(for a laugh)
When Congress springs into action--WATCH OUT!
This is grandstanding. Closing the borders would devastate both economies, cause goods and people to reroute through other countries and in the end at best delay the spread by a few days at severe economic cost which could cause related deaths in itself.
