"A strain of flu never seen before has killed as many as 61 people in Mexico and has spread into the United States, where eight people have been infected but recovered, health officials said on Friday. "Mexico's government said at least 16 people have died of the disease in central Mexico and that it may also have been responsible for 45 other deaths. "Because there is clearly human-to-human spread of the new virus, raising fears of a major outbreak, Mexico's government canceled classes for millions of children in its sprawling capital city and surrounding areas. "Our concern has grown as of yesterday," U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acting director Dr. Richard Besser told reporters in a telephone briefing. CLOSE TO 1,000 SUSPECTED CASES IN MEXICO "Eight people were infected with the new strain in California and Texas, but all of them have recovered. Mexico said it had close to 1,000 suspected cases there. "The U.S. government said it was closely following the new cases. "The White House is taking the situation seriously and monitoring for any new developments. The president has been fully briefed," an administration official said. "Mexico's government cautioned people not to shake hands or kiss when greeting or to share food, glasses or cutlery for fear of infection."Bottom line: President Obama needs to take immediate action to prevent even more problems from Mexico contaminating our America. The following steps are essential: * Secure the US-Mexico borders with military force authorized to use whatever force is needed to keep invaders out of America, and * Begin immediate roundup and deportation of the tens of millions of illegal aliens from Mexico in America. The president and his leftist colleagues in Congress must act decisively to save America from the corruption and disease flowing into our nation from Mexico.
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
