Will Anyone Catch It?

The Open Borders crowd is awfully quiet huh?

Just wait until white people start calling it the Mexican Flu.

Truthfully, they’re just afraid hospitals might become more loaded with illegal aliens and college spring breakers, and Americans might start to question some other costs of our third-world southern neighbors who were on the brink of collapse before this potential mess even started.

I wouldn’t worry if I were them.

Recently, a liberal friend warned me about the dangers of global population and resource depletion.  He was nearly apocalyptic about oil, water, land, food…everything.  He insisted that Mother Nature was already rebelling and that the economic crisis was just another symptom.  He was really good at playing a Buddhist-type vibe that stressed the, “big picture” and the Butterfly Effect.

Just don’t ask him if American: schools, highways, hospitals, insurance claims, prisons or elections are affected whatsoever by illegal aliens.

But enough about liberalism as a mental disorder.  Let’s talk about how this conservative thinks we should follow Europe’s lead on this one!

From E. Eduardo Castillo, Associated Press Writer:

At Germany’s bustling Frankfurt Airport, people suspected of having the disease were examined before getting off planes, said the health minister for Hesse state, Juergen Banzer. The policy was in effect since Saturday at continental Europe’s second-busiest airport, after Charles de Gaulle in Paris.

Governments in Asia — with potent memories of SARS and avian flu outbreaks — heeded the warning amid global fears of a pandemic.

Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines dusted off thermal scanners used in the 2003 SARS crisis and were checking for signs of fever among passengers from North America. South Korea and Indonesia introduced similar screening.

In Malaysia, health workers in face masks took the temperatures of passengers as they arrived on a flight from Los Angeles.

Russia, Hong Kong and Taiwan said visitors returning from flu-affected areas with fevers would be quarantined.

Australian Health Minister Nicola Roxon said pilots on international flights would be required to file a report noting any flu-like symptoms among passengers before being allowed to land in Australia.

China said anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms within two weeks of arrival had to report to authorities.

India will start screening people arriving from Mexico, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Britain and France for flu-like symptoms, said Vineet Chawdhry, a top Health Ministry official. It also will contact people who have arrived from Mexico and other affected countries in the past 10 days to check for the symptoms, he said.

Meanwhile, America has done nothing to protect its citizens but at least we’re insulated from Mexico by Obamair.  And Obama is happy because he hasn’t had to offend the millions of illegal aliens who helped elect him and other Democrats.

Will The Flu Last Long Enough To Bash Conservatives For It?

I’m trying to get the jump on the most-likely-to-be used, liberal attempts to blame the Mexican Swine flu on America conservatives.

Here’s the OOTB Early Line:

• American fat-asses drained the world of edible pork meat.
• American corporations created an unfair market (think Walmart) on small farms across the world which only further eroded conditions on small farms.
• American corporation’s pollution caused weak immune systems in pigs.
• Wealthy Americans unaware of and partly responsible for destitute conditions nearby.
• George Bush’s tough stance with Mexico shielded out health experts and community activists outreach directors from corresponding with Mexicans.
• George Bush and other Christians politicized the scientists who wanted more anti-vaccines.
• Republicans still don’t believe your grandfather was a monkey!
• The republican American recession, hit Mexicans particularly hard because the amount of American dollars sent back to Mexico, by Mexicans in America was drastically reduced.
• Illegal Immigration is racist, and this is no time to reevaluate some of the negative consequences it may or may not cause.   Look over there!
• The Armed Forces could have been called to the border but they were all in Iraq.
• America should have been more in-tune with Mexico’s socio-economic problems and lack of natural resources.
• 46 million Americans do not have health care!!!

Reader submissions would be awesome.
