View Full Version : Stop blaming the Orthodox Jewish community for the measles outbreak

Seems that there is a concerted effort to point to the Orthodox Jewish community for a measles outbreak in our country. But shunning vaccinations does not make the measles virus appear out of thin air. The probability is that illegal border entrants are introducing the virus and other diseases into our communities.

In 2016, there was a measles outbreak at an immigrant detention center in Eloy, Arizona, which contributed to a statewide outbreak after some employees refused to get vaccinated.


Keep in mind these detentions centers are not housing the thousands of illegal entrants who cross our unprotected border undetected, and then melt into our communities.


See: Measles outbreak adds to argument to secure U.S. border, former Rep. Hayworth says (https://www.lohud.com/story/opinion/contributors/2019/02/21/measles-border-security-nan-hayworth/2925998002/)


While it’s impossible to catch everyone trying to enter the country illegally, that doesn’t mean we can afford to ignore the danger as we work to once again rid our land of measles and other diseases making a comeback thanks to the anti-vaccination movement. Thousands of illegal immigrants enter the country every day in areas where border security is weak or non-existent, and even one infected person has the potential to spread the measles to dozens of others.


It’s time to stop blaming the Orthodox Jewish community and zero in on how this virus is entering our country, and that includes the very real probability it is being introduced by illegal entrants among other ways.

Illegal immigration is now costing American citizens over $18 billion a year in healthcare costs alone! Far more than the measly $5.7 billion asked for to build a wall!
