https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/fox-ne ... e-leprosy/As the migrant caravan crisis grows, Fox News is peddling fear tactics to their viewers. On Monday, a former ICE agent David Ward told Fox News host Charles Payne that some of the migrants have leprosy.
“We have three tenants of problems, national security, public safety, and public health issues with these caravans coming to the United States,” Ward said.
“In the national security realm, we have all sorts of people, not only from Central America but they are coming in from Africa and the Middle East and other places in this caravan,” he said.
He added, “They are going to come between the ports of entry where we have the paths of least resistance. Then [we have] public health. Individuals [are] coming from all over the world that has the most extreme medical care in the world.”
“They are coming in with diseases such as smallpox and leprosy and T.B. [and this is] going to affect our people in the United States,” he said.

Moron. I doubt if a "former ICE agent" has ever actually traveled into Mexico or beyond, nor knows anything about Latin America other than what his handlers have told him. Or former handlers, that is.
Add your name:To Sec. Mattis,
Please recall the troops you are deploying to the U.S.-Mexico border.
From detaining children to kicking out immigrant recruits from the military, Donald Trump’s racist immigration agenda and violence-first foreign policy have done nothing but harm communities at home and abroad. Please do not sign onto Trump’s dangerous anti-immigrant agenda. Further militarizing the U.S.-Mexico border won’t make Americans safer — instead, it will terrorize immigrants and cost countless public dollars.
Sure, it worked great for decades and decades for the “right” people.BjornSig wrote: Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:15 am Election day should be election day. Period. All early voting should end. Election day worked for decades and decades and decades in the US, stop all early voting.
Conestoga wagons worked for decades, too. Doesn't mean we should still be using them. SIGH!BjornSig wrote: Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:15 am Election day should be election day. Period. All early voting should end. Election day worked for decades and decades and decades in the US, stop all early voting.
I am curious. This is just a statement of opinion, but you provide no reason behind the opinion. Why post this without any reasoning? The argument that something worked many, many years ago may not be the best argument regarding voting rights. Women, minorities, and non-property-owning whites were not able to vote for decades and decades, and that "worked" in the eyes of the ruling minority. That doesn't make it good.BjornSig wrote: Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:15 am Election day should be election day. Period. All early voting should end.
