Federico Mendez-Hernandez, a native of Guatemala, was captured by the Border Patrol in May. They took him to an immigrant detention center where he began to exhibit symptoms such as excessive saliva, anxiety, insomnia, trouble swallowing , and a rapid heart rate. After exposing 742 people in four federal detention centers and two hospitals, they nailed down what was ailing Federico -- he had rabies. Three of the agents who had to fight with Federico when they caught him illegally crossing the border are now taking the rabies vaccine along with 20 other people in the exposed group. And what if there were actually 750 exposed, and they just don't know about the other eight?
Michelle Malkin reports that many of the children being illegally dumped by their parents into Texas and Arizona have tested positive for TB. And they're putting them on buses and planes carting them around. There's another epidemic in the making.
If that's not a case for immediately carting them all back across the border when they have no papers, I don't know what is.
