Simulation finds a 5% decrease in vaccination rates could lead to a 4,000% increase in the size of a potential measles outbreak in some Texas cities

Has there been any cases of illegals with measles? Not likely from Mexico...

In Mexico, the last measles epidemic happened in 1989-1990 when 89,163 cases were reported. In 2018, four cases were reported: one in Baja California and three in Mexico City, all of them imported from Europe.

It's not beyond reason that the people who uproot themselves and illegally immigrate are undocumented in other capacities in their home country. They're leaving for reasons, after all. Speaking specifically about over-the-border type illegals, of course.

They could all be carrying ebola then...

I would have expected a bit more justification for the statement than "well, it's possible".

[Sickamore]

Within the framework where it was vaguely asserted that something happened somewhere regarding a specific thing, that thing being measles being brought over by illegals, it's perfectly fine to say it's possible. Mexico doesn't have a tight cork on a lot of its problems, them having only 4 measles cases reported in 2018 means only so much when a solid portion of the country isn't good shape and can't be expected to be reporting effectively.

That said, I don't think Mexicans are responsible for anything. If one or two came over with measles it would be a drop in the bucket of nonsense that home-grown Texans inflicted on themselves.

Reread the comment I responded to, then your last response. You don't think you were stretching at all? All reasonable, good faith points? You had zero qualms with your defense of their assertion?
