actually, you have to get the shot to immigrate. Illegals have been known to bring in whooping cough and measles (although most Mexican kids do get the shots).

The last few outbreaks of mealses in the CDC reports seem to be from adults whose shots were out of date or who didn’t get them as kids, traveling back to their home countries and catching it from someone there.

and of course, whooping cough, mumps, and chicken pox goes around all the time but is usually mild...a lot of bad coughs after “viral bronchitis” in adults is probably mild whooping cough since the vaccine wore off...they are debating if they should start giving the vaccine to adults now

and mumps is also mild...unless you are a grown man and get orchitis from mumps...ouch.

Not all illegals coming in from Mexico are Mexican. Is there a 'new' concern about TB floating around in the medical community?
