When you invite the third world, you get third world problems.

To be fair: back in the Middle Ages, people did not know that the Black Death was being spread by rats, and communicated by the fleas on the rats.

Today we should know better: contagious diseases are spread by the diseased. We knew that perfectly well back on Ellis Island a century age.

And I fear we are about to discover that political correctness is not an effective remedy against disease.

Mayor Garcetti is considering running for President. Wouldn’t you like a President who has run a large city so well? No?

I am still waiting for someone to dig up an Eskimo who died of Smallpox, and was buried in permafrost. Scientists recovered virus from the 1918 flu epidemic that way.
