If the virus keeps the illegals out then where will Donald Trump find his rapist and criminals?
This could be a problem. For Trump.....

He'll need to source them from the native born population. The blue urban city cores seem to have more than enough supply of both rapists and criminals.

You're joking right? This is the kind of troll thread the OP is infamous for. Actual facts are 100% unnecessary and are in fact considered detrimental to a troll's mission.

He's the type of dumbfuck to claim there's an epidemic of men getting their dicks cut off to pass PT.

There are more confirmed cases in the US than there are in Mexico.

This reminds me of the time when conservatives were arguing that ebola will destroy the US... unless we strengthen the Mexican border.

OP, do you look into things... like, at all??

Does Turmp's asshole count? Because that's where his gaze is fixated. Well unless he closed his eyes, in which case, that's because he's locking his lips to it.

That's funny, I thought they were concentrated in conservative bastions like the Catholic church and Boy Scouts of America.

Won't overwhelm anything, just let them die in detention, problem solved with a cute little bow on it.

When was the last time you heard anything about the Uyghurs?

There are only so many people you can stuff in one place, particularly if you can't safely let them leave. But this isn't a present problem. I'm just recognizing that it could become a problem with a future illness. Still unlikely. I don't think the current admin would give a rats ass about actually doing anything productive -- if anything just to further a xenophobic agenda. So this discussion is academic and in anticipation that it's actually something a responsible administration may reasonably consider. Under that guise, it's a really tough problem indeed.

Perhaps once the left sees illegal immigrants as the potential carriers of pestilence into their cities instead of ripe targets of wage exploitation we'll see a turn on views on this? Will the nativist right continue to deny reality and fight against any increase of legal immigration quotas and simply hope for the best and hope that illegals get tired of making the trip? Hard to enjoy that produce picked from the fields by the illegals you happily overlook, or risk your kids' health to the Guatemalan nanny you pay under the table. Maybe just maybe we can admit there's a point to demanding immigration by via legal channels, insisting all immigrants are vetted for health, ideology, and other concerns, mandating those already here to report to be screened and pay heavy monetary fines, and deporting the rest who don't comply? Nah that's too mean, we can't expect them to obey the laws or anything (talking about both the illegal immigrants and their enablers who excuse away their acts).
Get your priorities straight. We should be using the air force to shoot down all flight into the country before they can land.

Lefties want to deal with the effect and not the cause. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.


Mexicans aren't bringing this to the US. I'm not shocked at all that the pseudo-conservatives of today don't want to deal with any of this except to blame the Left. They aren't very bright.

If we could make most illegal immigrants full citizens by trading them for racist Trump supporters it would be the best way to Make American Great Again.

If we were to get really serious about this we would actually either completely overhaul our health care system (unlikely as time isn’t on our side), or trump could give amnesty to illegals to bring them out from the shadows to ensure they, along with all Americans have access to health care to get tests and treatment.

However small minded people don’t think logically so it’s easy to just be xenophobic and address an issue that won’t fix anything.

Is it too much to indulge the OP by saying that, although it is currently irrelevant for COVID-19 and unlikely to every be relevant for COVID-19, there does exist some vulnerability with an insecure border for potential future illnesses? I don't think that securing the border is likely a priority for future outbreaks and technically quite difficult besides. If taken with a real evidence-based risk analysis for potential future outbreaks, consideration for border security is relevant.
YES, it is too much.....so sorry!!

We have never had this problem with our borders being unsecured being the cause of a virus spreading,
I see your response as a masked or veiled attempt to support the OP`s point of view...nice try though......

One of the reasons why this kind of disease isnt seeing massive uptake in Africa is people are generally too poor to travel anywhere. Its your rich behind that flies from a to b to c to d that spreads this shit around. Not piss poor immigrants from the south.

Except you're not. You're dealing in a hypothetical, the actuality of the situation is that this is being spread primarily by tourism.

Nice emotionally fueled rant though.

they want any reason to hate a low skill immigrant who is coming for their jerbs.

Maybe coronavirus will finally make us get serious about Jews.

Does that sound like a Nazi?

If you replace the target of your misinformation or
denigrating speech with "Jews" and it makes you sound like a Nazi, you should probably go ahead and STFU.

But only enough hate that it keeps their voters voting for them but not enough to actually address the issue around illegal immigration. It’s why they support improving the border wall because it’s symbolic and doesn’t actually do anything. It’s why when real solutions are provided, like going after businesses that hire illegals, better tracking and enforcement of over stays, etc, they simply bury the bill and pretend it never happened.

You're dealing in reality. These folks can't see past their own noses since mommy and daddy wiped their asses until they were well into their 30s. Now they think it's sunshine and daffodils everywhere and everyone. The concept of disease or people growing up chopping people's heads off is foreign to their feeble minds. We can't hurt anyone's feelings. Now these pussies are giving away participation trophies.

Ok. Bye Yukio

This one's mostly been spread by affluent Western holiday makers (plus maybe a few of the more bourgie Chinese?). Maybe we'll finally get serious about excessive air-travel? A war on ski-ing holidays and unecessary business conference junkets, maybe?

Maybe some Green taxes on air travel?
