Group Says Swine Flu Should Shut Down Border, Halt Illegal Immigration

In light of the recent outbreak of swine flu that is believed to have originated in Mexico, one group is calling military troops be deployed at the U.S./Mexico border to halt illegal immigration there.

Although there is no evidence that cases of swine flu that have been detected in the U.S. were brought on by illegal immigrants, the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is asking the government to not only place troops at the border, but to halt all unnecessary traffic between the two countries.

ALIPAC’s William Gheen said that current situations would not be able to halt Mexicans with the disease from illegally entering the U.S.

“We have thousands of illegal immigrants entering America each night and we can’t contain or slow the progression of the latest Mexican outbreaks with that happening,” he said. “Even Obama and Napolitano’s weak and inadequate ‘passive surveillance’ directives do not apply to the illegal aliens and drug smugglers coming in tonight.”

The “pandemic” has caused the European Union to urge residents to avoid nonessential travel to both Mexico and the United States, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control is urging Americans to postpone travel to Mexico.
