Eric will feel the wrath of Pelosi verrrry soon!
WHAT DID THE OABMA ADMINISTRATION KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?

“The first death was in southern Oaxaca state on April 13, but Mexico didn’t send the first of 14 mucous samples to the CDC until April 18, around the same time it dispatched health teams to hospitals looking for patients with severe flu or pnuemonia-like symptoms.”

“Health authorities noticed a threefold spike in flu cases in late March and early April, but thought it was a late rebound in the December-February flu season.
Testing at domestic labs did not alert doctors to the new strain. Health Secretary Jose Cordova acknowledged Mexican labs lacked the profiling data needed to detect the previously unknown strain.
Even though U.S. labs detected the swine flu in California and Texas before last weekend, Mexican authorities as recently as Wednesday were referring to it as a late-season flu.
But mid-afternoon Thursday, Mexico City Health Secretary Dr. Armando Ahued said, officials got a call “from the United States and Canada, the most important laboratories in the field, telling us this was a new virus.”

Obama has dropped the ball folks....all because of politics! Mexico has socialized medicine and folks are dying because of substandard care. Obama doesn’t want Americans to connect the dots before he passes socialized medicine in this country. They don’t even have proper labs anymore in Mexico!
Hey Ray...you got no logic sport, living large thousands of miles from the border.
We who do live near it - or even not so near - have a lot to fear from the latest Mexican threat.
For those of us who have had family members attacked violently, who live daily with the threat of more attacks from that Third World Thug culture, whose cities are more and more dominated by that people and their criminal politicians (downtown Los Angeles: 93.1% "hispanic", according to the census...and the Mayor is a Mexican Separatist member of a terrorist organization, MEChA...look it up yourself), we don't have that luxury of shrugging it all off for "oil".
We can build nukes and drive electric cars if that's what it takes to cut them out of our lives. And we should.
We're screwed.
Don’t forget TB. It’s all over Southern California.
Whoa....if that happened, our local WalMart would be damn near empty.
This week on ‘Rachel Ray’ they had a segment about the increase in whooping cough.....and wondered why it has increased SO much in the last 7 years....no, not one word about immigration and the ‘global economy’. We’ve had many articles on FR in the past about that and other diseases we had eradicated being reintroduced.
Whooping cough outbreak linked to illegals
Doctors warn of worst spread of pertussis in 40 years

[snip]A rise in diseases such as whooping cough, tuberculosis, malaria, measles and even leprosy are creating public health concerns and have hit hospitals and health care systems already financially burdened by indigent illegals flooding emergency rooms and urgent care centers.
Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, is one of those professionals who has linked the increase in diseases with illegal immigration.
“Certain diseases that we thought we had vanquished years ago are coming back, and other diseases that we’ve never seen or rarely seen in America, because they’ve always been the diseases of poverty and the third world, are coming in now,” she said.
Listen I really do not care. We do not need them more of them bringing this disease here. We should SEAL the border now.
Close it, slam it shut, superglue it shut, NEVER to be opened again, period....end...of....story.....
I am not one for restricting travel, but this situation is different.
The Mexican border needs closed completely.......nobody in and out for any reason.....land sea, air.
This is spreading very quickly and while U.S. cases are fairly mild so far, that could change on a dime.
Drastic measures are needed.
Does “immediately and completely” include areas of illegal crossings? Sounds like it, but I’d want to hear it put that way before I believe him.
Unless he explicitly says completely keeping out ILLEGALS, I am skeptical.
The point that you "do not care", came across loud and clear, I even can see your knee jerking.
Yes, the border should be closed to illegal immigrants but to try to "seal it" completely to all is completely stupid.
This guy's office should be moved to a museum--a democrat exhibiting faint signs of leadership (unlike the one playing golf today.)
We have enough problems here and we do not need them continually giving us more. Is that too hard for you to figure out?
The I do not care was meant about your opinion.
Funny how you send your response to me to other people. Big man who needs to feel important. lol!!
A RAT calling for the closing of the border? Some very hot place just froze over.
Williamson is our county. Let's see, if 1 in 15 school children in this country is from illegal parents, how many does it take to infect the entire system?
The border should have been closed days ago. Obama’s incompetence is astounding. This is both a health and a national security threat.

Ayers said they needed 25 million(at least) dead). The Kenyan Marxist, Barry, is only following orders.
Odd how the border is still open and odd how the national guard keeps shipping out and odd you cannot buy or find any ammo.
______________
The ammo thing is to the point now where I don’t know what in the heck is going on. Even 9mm, .45ACP. .38Sp, and 22LR are gone almost everywhere. 22LR???? what the heck is going on?
