Letter: Open border puts children at risk for diseases

To the editor:

Thanks to Mexico, two diseases almost obliterated in America are now making an ominous comeback. Syphilis and tuberculosis , in a hyper-virulent form, are now ravaging America. And in America, parents (usually Christian) are threatened with execution should they refuse to have their children immunized!

I am left wondering how many children in the invading army approaching our southern border have been immunized? How many are carriers of the polio-like disease which leaves the victims with a myelitis, and a resulting paralysis? Surely, our esteemed CDC and public health service would not allow such an atrocity!!! Should they fail in their duty, perhaps militarizing the border is an attractive alternative….
