I don't understand this. I thought their parents were sending them over the border alone. So are these aunts and uncles they are living with?

Well you believe the MSM who are the mouthpiece of the administration.

When Congress had hearings on the conditions of the detention center they flew one minor to DC.
When it was over they flew him back "home" to Long Island where he lives with his mother and 5 brothers and sisters. He was 15-16.

Is that not a slap in the face to American citizens ?

Most Mexicans have better taste than to visit Taco Bell. They know what the real stuff is like. No ersatz enchiladas for them.

Seems like we never learn from the past. But, let's not let facts get in our way.

The Mexican 'germ invasion' is just the right's latest anti-immigration myth | Laura Murphy | Comment is free | theguardian.com

Now we know why we are being inundated with the illegal immigrants = deadly vaccinated diseases meme. Fox News and Drudge are the source of the current hysteria among the paranoid Right.

CDC | TB | Fact Sheets - BCG Vaccine

Looks like Americans are not routinely vaccinated for TB, while 99% of Mexicans are for the past 17 years, about 99% for Hondurans since the late 1990s, which would be roughly the birth years of the current Honduran migrants coming across the border. But, let's believe Matt Drudge and Fox News, and think hardly anybody is getting vaccinated and that they're all diseased and will cause the deaths of tens of millions of white, God-fearing Americansâ„¢.If you're going to be against illegal immigration like any rational person would, don't be an idiot and shoot your own cause in the foot by making this about diseased immigrants, they're all potential rapists and gangbangers, terrorists, English Nativism, etc. Those HURT your cause, and turn off other Hispanics away from supporting you.
Looks like someone's been brainwashed!

Wait until we see the fallout from around the country when school starts.....chickenpox outbreaks, TB outbreaks, possibly even small pox.

Can obama absolutely, beyond a doubt guarantee that these kids are disease free?

They'll blame it on the American anti-vaxxers because we've all been told that these countries vaccinate all their kids.

All will be attending a public school near you. Most Junior & HS age.
With "No Child Left Behind" your kid is screwed, unless you live in a very wealthy school district, with zero poverty.

The small rural school districts will be hit the hardest.
