Did you miss the following:
“This study confirmed that EV-D68 was present in many of the 3,375 young, ill people from eight Latin American countries that were shipped to secret locations throughout the U.S. last year”.

EV-D68 was first identified in the US in 1962…
Which does not even indicate they acquired the disease in their home countries, no source location was identified.
For all we know they acquired it in the US during detention.
I’m sure you do, especially when Sources for the article include:
Attacking the messenger and not the message seems to be your game.

Which came from Central American immigrants.
That’s not exactly helping your case.
Do you have a citation for this?
So you would agree the United States ought to take every reasonable precaution to protect her citizens? Would that not include preventing illegal immigration?
During legal immigration, immigrants are tested for contagious diseases. But under illegal immigration, immigrants by-pass medical examinations which can detect contagious diseases.

How many legal immigrants have tested positive for EV-D68?
How many have been tested? One of the problems with illegals is that they circumvent any possible health screenings at the border.

On that we agree!

Did you actually read this or the study “Pharmacy Times” actually cited? Here is a little nugget from the actual study…
Although differences in subject recruitment strategies prevent exact comparison between our studies and others, our HRV detection proportions are similar to pediatric respiratory disease studies from North America and Asia which had proportions that varied between 7.7% and 17.4%
I asked how many LEGAL immigrants have tested positive?
You didn’t even bother making it past the first paragraph. Congrats.
Now put just a little more effort in and read further.
A total of 3% of subjects had human EV infections. However, in the study, Columbia and Nicaragua had the highest rates of infection due to HEVs and HRVs.3
In Nicaragua, influenza-like viruses related to HRVs and HEVs exceeded 25% of cases and in Columbia, these viruses were associated with more than 20% of respiratory illnesses. Among those identified viruses were EV-D68 and EV-A71.3
How exactly is anyone supposed to know? Do you have the data?
Where would you suggest deporting them to?
Their home countries? You can’t deport them anywhere else legally.
Read the post I was responding to Rose.
You quoted yourself.
No. I didn’t.
Are you done yet, or still want to argue?
