Cool beans...
border jumpers carried it from Mexico to NYC?

Please, you can do better than that.

I think his comment was more to say that the illegals can't be "tracked" where as perhaps a Mexican business person could be.

Why not?

The Northeast has a massive population of illegals from Central America,including Mexicans.

But I agree with Spence.Cool beans was more than likely making the point of how do you track someone crossing the border illegally?The only way is through being caught and since there are literally tens of thousands of illegals already in country,not many are being caught at the border and when they are finally caught its already to late.

this turns out to be a pandemic, i wonder if, when the open border idealology people's families contract the disease,
they will suddenly start yelling like stuck pigs to close the borders and adhere to the laws that were intended to help prevent things like this??????

Nothing changes ideas quicker then when things happen close to home.

I don't think so. The number of people who legally cross the border into the US every day from Mexico is quite large. I'd wager there's a far larger risk from legal travel which will be by air and vehicle and has the potential to get deeper into the US much more quickly. If they close the border it would be this traffic they're trying to stop.

That's not to say that we can't do a better job at illegal immigration enforcement, just that I don't think the Pandemic will cause a huge outcry.

Of course border jumpers didn't carry it to NY, the initial speed of something like this is of course spread by legitimate travelers. Point was legitimate travelers are easy to track, unlike the illegals, and are probably a lot more apt to get treated, while illegals may be more apt to not seek medical assistance (emergency room will treat anyone), until much further into it and after spreading it to a lot more people. I was trying to point out that illegals add a big multiplier to the issues.
