So far this year there have been 200 confirmed cases of an extremely aggressive strain of dengue virus in Mexico's Pacific coast state of Sinaloa. The new strain has prompted that state's Secretary of Health to issue a warning to residents to take precautions to reduce its potential spread, by eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed. Sinaloa encompasses the resort town of Mazatlan.
Secretary Héctor Ponce Ramos, indicated that this year's strain of dengue fever is more lethal than in previous years and may be based on DENV-3 AND DENV-4 strains of the disease, which in theory would yield very deadly results and has only rarely been seen before.
Mr. Ponce said this new strain is more deadly than dengue fever or dengue hemorrhagic fever which the state had experienced in the past. The virus is so severe, patients... (continued here)

Americans must DEMAND that the borders be closed...even then it may never happen. I’ve written all my legislators, but it may be that a VISUAL message is all they ‘hear’.

From the article:
"Dengue (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus.
It's THIS guy! HE's the carrier of (WTF)!!!

A large part of the reason that diseases which were all but eliminated in this country have come back is because of illegal Mexicans.
Our government which was supposed to protect American citizens has all but turned a blind eye and is allowing third world peoples, and their native diseases, to sneak into this country in huge numbers.
Eventually one of these bugs is going to kill a whole lot of Americans and then you will see mobs of Americans descend on Congress and the White House and they won’t be carrying pitchforks.
This is a disaster that been waiting to happen for twenty years.

Ummm. The Middle Ages were actually rather civilized.
Perhaps "Dark Ages", or even "Stone Age" might be more appropriate.

They wouldn’t be having all these problems down there if we had instituted comprehensive immigration reform when we had the chance.
