I find it interesting that this subject has not come up before. I was watching the news and there was talking of how much Whooping cough has been on the increase lately. They were advising adults to get a vaccine if they were going to be around babies. It makes me wonder what other childhood diseases are on the increase in diseases that are usually taken care of by shots given to babies and children. It made me think of all the infants and children of illegal immigrants who come into the country without the benefit of immunization shots. It is not there fault they cannot afford or because the shots are just not available. It is also a shame that children without these immunization shots can bring these kind of illness to our country. Now a well vaccinated child should be safe but not all American children are well vaccinated. Not all can afford the shots also part of the illegal immigrant population. Some may not even be aware of the need for their children to get these shots. Also there is a group of people who believe that immunization is a bad thing and refuse to have their children get these shots. I believe it leaves these children vulnerable to childhood diseases that in the past killed many children. Diseases like whooping cough and polio to begin with. I believe if something is illegal there should not be the need for special legislation to give teeth to the current laws. Why is it suddenly popular to make a fuss over those of us who want the laws governing immigration, laws that protect our border from people who want to come in the country illegally. The people who shout and cry that these laws are not fair would not shout that bank robbers should be let out of prison. They don't talk about the 80% of illegal immigrants that use stolen identities so they can get a social security number that suddenly they become legal. Most of the identities they steal are those of infants. After all who is going to buy protection from identity thieves for their infants. I just wish people would see the harm illegal immigrants have on the country. It is a sour spot between a friend of mine who thinks that profiling for illegal immigrants is a bad thing. There is no way we can catch all the immigrants who want to come into this country, many who have criminal backgrounds. I just loved the look on the face of this guy when he found out that he would spend his sentence for bringing drugs into America in a Mexican jail. That is because the jails in Mexico are some of the worst prisons in the world. I am also looking forward to a day when we won't have to press one for English.
