"Several people have the hemorrhagic strain of the disease that causes bleeding and, if untreated, possibly death."
"The movement of people poses another challenge. If someone from an area where there's been an outbreak of dengue fever travels to another place, that person can be bitten by mosquitoes in the new location and the infection will spread."
The mosquitoes along the Gulf Coast can spread dengue fever, all that we need is for "someone" who has been infected in Moreles, Mexico to come to Texas!

A heavy layer of DDT on the border may help. It will at least scare away the liberal hoardes!

We had a TB outbreak several months ago traced back to a Mexican Restaurant's, ahem, kitchen staff.

An outbreak of dengue fever in Mexico has health officials here in Texas keeping a watchful eye across the border.Besides the price of gas, this is another reason we quit eating out.

Close the borders!

IIRC, the yellow fever mosquito that carries dengue is primarily a day feeder (morning/afternoon), rather than a night feeder.
