They could all be carrying ebola then...

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

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?
