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.

They only care when THEY could be affected.
4,000 dead Americans per year illegal crime and accidents
Billion upon billions wasted on social services
Schools flooded
Crime skyrocketing
Courts overwhelmed
...I think at some point, WE may need to deport these illegal aliens ourselves.
no insurance required, but if I come in bleeding, the fat secretary will pry the insurance card out of my bloody wallet before allowing me to see a Doctor...
Our appeasement ends up making us slaves to people that SHOULD NEVER HAVE BENN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Where were you 8 years ago, Congressman?
Yeah - the citizens of this country just LOVE the drug resistant TB the illegals bring into our country every single day, the rapes, murders, child molesting, robberies, DUI killings of innocent families, ID theft, and "entitlement" with all the 'freebies' they all get, with our tax dollars!
I could go own and own and own - but what good would it serve - we all know what damage is being caused to our country - so just leave the borders open, and, with open arms, welcome more and more illegal parasites, you disgusting Congress people and Senate people.
Oh. And, thank you - you elected officials you who 'support and adhere' to the Constitution of the United States. You b*stards who WE elected to represent us all!
Ain't that the truth. They think themselves immune to all other destructive consequences of these illegal invaders...
but when it comes to potentially deadly contagious diseases they find themselves in a more vulnerable position...don't they.
“Congressman calls for Mexican border to be closed”
Why, Is there anyone still over there? I thought they were all here in California.
8 years ago? How about a couple of decades ago.
The damned fools are now afraid they will catch it, but they haven’t worried about the risks the rest of us have faced for years. I don’t want to hear from any politician pretending to be concerned about the average American now!
True - I was thinking 9/11...
Sen. Juan McCain will stop the closing for sure.
We just got back in the wee hours this past Monday. No golfing, though. I found it interesting that of the many golf courses we saw, no one was playing on them! I take that back. One time I did see a fellow on a cart.
The entire time we were there, we saw only two Federales riding in a pick-up truck. Everything was fine, but the resort industry there has been hurting badly.
Don’t just close it, Ziplock it!

Baby, it should be VACUUM PACKED and placed in dry ice!!!!
any suggestions on what to do besides play golf? I am on a business trip so my days are booked; but I am free in the evenings.
I read today that there is a bill that prevents/stops “immigrant” children from having the “blue card” that our children need to attend school.
Liberalism is a sickness that needs curing.
Simple - just use the 30 million illegals to build the fence.
I’ve been wishing they’d stop the infestation from Messico for decades.
I don’t know exactly where you’re going to be, but the village of San Jose, which is not far from Cabos San Lucas, has some very good restaurants and is very well-kept. One evening while we were in the area, they had a night of wine-tasting and art gallery viewings. We had a wonderful dinner at one restaurant there in a courtyard, and no one got sick:)
In Cabos San Lucas, there’s the famous Cabo Wabo, Sammy Haggar’s bar and grill, where there’s good live music every night. One group who was with us spent a long night hitting Cabo Wabo and other bars there. Said they had a good time and there was good music at some of the other places. If you’re into that type of night-life, that’s the place to go.
Sometimes we enjoyed just hanging out/ walking on the beach at night, though it could get cool.
“Think of all the money that could be saved with National Health Care if a large portion of America’s population died”
Yes, and think of how much we might reduce global warming when so many human beings will no longer be breathing carbondioxicide and burning fossil fuels!
It looks like he means Mexicans coming here. So what, we should enforce our laws.
