I agree with you but, we eradicated most childhood diseases and people refused to allow their children vaccines which lasted until the illegals came in with no medical exams or vetting-they brought diseases in with them and of course the non-vaccinated children and adults measles, mumps, Hansen's disease and others-primarily in the areas where the illegals settled-California, Minnesota. But very little is mentioned on the media about the diseases brought into the country. So they are blaming it on the parents which of course share culpability. It just frosts me to know that Obama didn't just allow, he pushed for the borders to be opened to allow anyone into the country regardless of health, history of criminal or terrorist activities etc.
Ellis island was used to weed out the sick, lame and criminal elements from immigrants back in the day. It’s a shame we don’t do that now.
