The "swine flu" that has infected more than 1,000 people in Mexico has led a lawmaker on the House Homeland Security Committee to call on U.S. officials to close the southern border.
Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) said the border should be closed until the threat is resolved.
"The public needs to be aware of the serious threat of swine flu, and we need to close our borders to Mexico immediately and completely until this is resolved," Massa said in a statement.
"I am making this announcement because I see this as a serious threat to the health of the American public and I do not believe this issue is receiving the attention it needs to have in the news," Massa said.

A little late Congressman. The border should have been protected years ago. Time to finish the fence and wall. Illegals go home.

Idiots — now, suddenly, the border should be closed. I truly loathe these people in Washington.

Wouldn't it be better to just let Americans die from this stuff instead of running the risk of America being branded as "racist" for closing the borders?

Maybe Juan McCain and his pal Janet “our soldiers are babykillers” Napolitano will blame Canada.

we need to close our borders to Mexico immediately and completely That's stupid. Like it or not there is a lot of legal commerce between the two countries.
To: IDRATHERNOT
Oh B.S., we’ve been told for many years that it is impossible to close the border. And now some dem comes along and just says close it.
