Are you alarmed by this new report about Mexico and Dengue Fever?
Sunday, December 14th, 2008 | Politics | No Comments
Migration and tourism also have carried new strains of the virus across national borders, even into the United States, which had largely wiped out the disease after a 1922 outbreak that infected a half-million people.
Mexico has been struggling with an alarming increase in the deadly hemorrhagic form of dengue, which now accounts for roughly one in four cases. The government has confirmed 3,249 cases of hemorraghic dengue for the year through Sept. 15, up from 1,924 last year.

Q. How are dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) spread?
A. Dengue is transmitted to people by the bite of an Aedes mosquito that is infected with a dengue virus. The mosquito becomes infected with dengue virus when it bites a person who has dengue or DHF and after about a week can transmit the virus while biting a healthy person. Dengue cannot be spread directly from person to person.
Is anyone else tired of people saying that illegal immigration is good for our country?

It draining our economy, our emergency medical services, our judicial system and our schools. Illegals sent more money home to Mexico last year than Mexico made from oil and tourism combined.
Why does Mexico hate America?

After seeing how Miss America was treated over the weekend, and how our U.S. soccer team was treated in 2004 (bags of urine hurled at them while chanting Osama), why do they hate us? Doesn’t half the Mexican economy depend on people mailing / sending money from the U.S. to Mexico? What about American tourism? or U.S. companies (like GM, Ford, ect.) employing Mexicans in Mexico?
I don’t get it..
