The report below is just one more reason why LEGAL immigration is so important.
In recent weeks there have been cases of formerly eradicated infectious diseases like mumps and measles popping up in detention centers and across the US.
Of course, there are also the anti-vaccination followers who come into play, but the needless reemergence of mumps and other contagious diseases is reason enough to secure the border from their transport.
We confirm seven mumps cases at an ICE facility in Houston. All seven individuals are adult detainees who were detained during their infectious period. There is no evidence the disease was transmitted to anyone outside of the facility.

Houston also has seen cases of measles pop up too:
The Harris County Health Department doesn’t say if these cases are illegal aliens.
🚨Three measles cases confirmed in Harris County. All three patients reside in northwest Harris County.
The best way to protect you and your family against #measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases is by #immunization. Contact your provider if there're signs and symptoms. pic.twitter.com/i1ahvnsBxM— Harris County Public Health #SocialDistance (@hcphtx) February 4, 2019
Are the Democrats ok with illegal aliens bringing vaccine-preventable diseases into the U.S?
