Dont think it wont be a problem it already is
AUSTIN Texas (Texas Insider Report) The Zika virus has
made its way to Los Angeles as well as Arkansas New York Virginia and even Canada in what amounts to a rapidly moving mosquito-borne epidemic.
Though the eight or so cases revealed over the past two weeks were all the result of travel to regions with Zika infestations the name that stands out is El Salvador a leading exporter of illegal immigrants to the United States and Texas.
The Canadian and Los Angeles cases both came about as a result of travel to El Salvador and another three were vaguely described as travel to the Central America-Caribbean" region which includes El Salvador.
Its a significant development because El Salvador is a leading exporter of illegal immigrants and right now that country is gearing up for another border surge to the U.S.
The Obama administration has allocated tens of millions in aid to the country to prevent this development but if it goes like any of its other shovel-ready projects it will do little good.
Meanwhile open-borders lobbyists and NGOs are calling for
temporary protected status for the millions of illegal immigrants from El Salvador and its neighbors which will serve as a clarion call for others to come if President Obama heeds them.
And worse still the communist-led government of El Salvador is pretty much financed by the remittances of these same illegal immigrants from El Norte. To discourage the flow of migrants would be to threaten their rice bowl. So their incentive to produce results is very low despite the demographic problems mass emigration has created for the country.
Smuggling rackets that export illegal immigrants to the United States at great profit to themselves have their nexus in El Salvador and its neighbors Honduras and Guatemala so the chances of the disease coming from either the local population or the African and Asian immigrants who also use their services is quite high.
Dont think it wont be a problem it already is one as recent history
shows.
In 2014 various news wires cited El Salvador and its neighbors as ground zero for a host of new illnesses some never seen before on U.S. shores citing
chikungunya dengue enterovirus tuberculosis and other public health hazards.
In decades past immigrants were screened for such diseases before being allowed to come to the U.S. so that the public would be protected from any contagion. With todays unchecked borders those accomplishments of public health are pretty well wiped out.
Now with the border unguarded spring weather coming soon an absence of political will to enforce immigration laws this year but quite possibly not next the incentive has never been greater to surge across the border and bring whatever illnesses are going around too.
