The problem is not Mexicans. The problem is liberal trust-funders who consider immunization declasse. The last two measles outbreaks were caused by globe-trotting upper-middle-class couples who took their unimmunized children places where there were active measles. And these were places like Switzerland — not Swaziland.
You are talking about vaccines that were already in place, this is talking about new ones added due to newly increased numbers of things like Hepatitus (sp), TB, and one other I can’t think of.
Oh yeah, and that Chicken Pox vaccine. I scoffed at that one, but my daughter had the vaccine and still had an outbreak that almost put her in the hospital. They told me if she hadn’t have had the vaccine, she would might have died. She was the type case the vaccine was made for. As bad as it was, the pox only lasted four days instead of the usual 7 to 10. So in that case it helped.
Yea, there are THAT many illegals here.
By the very same princable the issue with a return of once unheard of diseases is very common here in Texas as it is all across the U.S. And it is always associated with unvaccinated illegals and their anchor babies convincing the 2nd and 3rd generation "hispanic" Americans that they dont need the vaccinations. It is their "culture."

By default, we grant health passes to illegal aliens. Yet many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease.

The Atlanta-based Center for Disease Control published a report, easily obtained, regarding the diseases attributed to IAs (illegal aliens). Some of that report is as follows:
Tuberculosis: It had disappeared from the U.S. but has now returned in a more lethal strain killing 60 percent of those infected. One year's treatment costs more than $250,000.
Chagas Disease: Has no known cure and kills over 50,000 annually of the estimated 18 million infected. It takes nearly 20 years to manifest itself and then those infected have less than two years to live.
Leprosy: A scourge in biblical days was so rare in the U.S. that in 40 years only 900 people had been infected. In the past three years more than 7,000 new cases have been diagnosed.
Polio: Once considered eradicated in our country is now back and in growing numbers.
Cysticercosis: Caused by a rare brain worm that can be fatal and is spread primarily by unsanitary food handling practices. It was traced to IA's coming to our country.
Hepatitis A, B, and C: This disease is spreading rapidly and in 2003 just a few IAs working as kitchen laborers endangered 3,000.
