In an alarming development, an aggressive mosquito capable of transmitting the deadly dengue hemorrhagic fever and other serious diseases was reportedly found in San Diego, California, for the first time this week.
Many of the viruses the mosquito can spread are endemic to Central America and Mexico.
Known as yellow fever mosquitoes, or by its scientific name the Aedes aegypti, the insects were found in offices at San Diego’s 32nd Street Naval Station, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The same kind of mosquitoes were found Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 in the Los Angeles-area counties of Commerce and Pico Rivera.
WND reported just this week that an Obama administration plan to facilitate the immigration of up to 100,000 Haitians to the U.S. without a visa is fraught with medical risks, particularly the spread of diseases endemic to Haiti, including viruses transmitted by the mosquito.
Aside from dengue fever, the mosquito can transmit diseases such as chikungunya, which brings paralyzing joint pain, and yellow fever, which has been ravaging not only Africa but Latin America and Central America.

I think the point is Obama is importing people into the US who DO carry these diseases, which the mosquitos can then help pick up and spread around.
Who knows? The locations of their dispersal is not publicized.
That is true. Which begs the question: “How can the HHS imply Enterovirus D68 was not a direct result of these minors’ dispersal with a blanket ‘we have not received any reports of.....’?”
Governors and cognizant state agencies weren’t even advised of the impending arrivals, let alone where and when.
They bought off some local charities, sympathetic mayors, and profiteering companies and dumped these kids into every state in this union. Over 60,000 of them, supposedly per HHS none of them have it. BS, horsepuckey and balderdash. LIARS all.
They are going to use this as another excuse to bath us in deadly pesticides sprayed from helicopters.
Anybody remember the medfly menace?
No, the point is FEAR you must FEAR, wait we hear you have no FEAR. This form of BS stupid fear mongering reporting goes on no matter who the president is. We did plenty of these idiot tangos during Bush.
As a general category yes, but they’ve got to bite somebody with the illness to transmit it. And even then, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be all over the place. People get sick, doesn’t mean everybody has to be afraid of every illness.
It was only a couple years ago AZ finally stopped screening for fruit at the border. Of course the funniest part was they did it at the NM border too, don’t want to be mean.
Imagine what this little beast can do with Ebola.
I'm not afraid, I'm angry. I'm still waiting to see the upside of Globalization. We had a great country at one time. As others have mentioned, all the pest infestations, and diseases are side affects of NAFTA and those that advocate 'Open Borders' and globalization. I could go on but I won't ...
You’re sitting in front of the upside and on of globalization. Your next meal will include the upside of globalization. None of this has anything to do with NAFTA or open border, it has to do with the fact that the world is a small place and we keep moving around on it and we tend to bring excess baggage with us. The most common breed of rat in the world came from Asia and was global before the American Revolution. Transplanting species, especially species we’d rather not, is not new, and as we travel further and faster it will continue to happen.
You could go on, but you’d be just as wrong with all of those too. Out here in reality until we find a way to travel and ship in a completely sterile way we’re going to bring unwelcome passengers.
I must be missing something, we were catching that species of mosquito at Camp Pendleton back in 1990 and I don’t thing they were new then.
AZ has at least one confirmed case now.
f'n marvelous . . .
How could this be???? The goverment protect us and controls our borders. This must be sll lies from racist whites.
Not at my computer, but the answer is yes! They are larger than native species.
