Well if they didn't close the borders when Drug Lords, death squads, and legions of MS-13 gangs started sneaking across the border....Why on earth would they do so just to prevent the loss of more human lives to a potentially fatal disease...??

She wasn't interested in closing the border when her state was being over run by illegals so why start now?

True dat...

Not to mention that she shouldn't be running this show anyway.

Where is our HHS secretary and Surgeon General?

Nothing may come of all this...or it's the perfect storm at exactly the perfect time for this still rather unorganized new administration.

Always amuses me when you guys talk about this 1700 mile border marked by mostly a stream and imaginary lines as though it can be closed or opened like a gate.

Obviously...at least to most of us anyway...closing the border in reference to not spreading the swine flu would involve air travel in particular...and restricting the border crossings that we do control.

Keep letting everybody & his brother over here without limits & this is what you have to look forward to more of the same & worse.

The virus is already in america. Closing the borders wont do much. Plus will still have illegals who get in.

man u must have gotten that idea from Obamas speech when he said that

"why close the barn door when the horses are out" the only difference here is

that there are a lot more horses in the barn and are multiplying.

So we Should close the god damn door.

ok rambo, follow me here

so let's say you have a nasty draft coming underneath your front door. It's decreasing the temperature of your tv room and thus becoming a massive nuisance.

do you?

a) open the door all the way? hell, the cold's coming in might as well just help it out

b) do nothing. what the fvck can i do about a draft coming from that pesky space b/w the floor and door?

c) get a blanket and press it up against the crease to keep the cold air from reaching your room?

if you answer a or b please follow gtc08 into the bread line

if you answer c, welcome to the world of 'not complete morons'

thanks for playing

I see. So now a 36" x 1" gap between your door and your floor is a suitable analogy to the US/Mexican border?
