If you are so concerned about immigrants bringing diseases here, Fox and Friends...

Shouldn't you also want to stop Americans from going overseas and then possibly bringing diseases back with them?

And what about the idea of good faith? Since you don't want immigrants bringing diseases here, I guess it would also be right to not have Americans bring diseases to other countries, right? I mean, this is how the West Nile virus in the western hemisphere came to be, it came into the US and then spread to other countries in the western hemisphere.

The only way to truly stop "the diseases" would be to enact a policy of 'nobody in AND nobody out'.

...considering co-host Brian Kilmeade revealed himself to be a full-throated anti-vaxxer earlier this year by arguing against getting annual flu shots because people need to "build up their immunity," which of course is false information.

That show and the false info it spreads have probably done more to endanger the public health than any of the Caravan members.

and anything else that would allow every citizen their right to proper, affordable healthcare. They're so worried about "diseases", and yet they don't give a shit about the millions of their own fellow citizens who can't even afford basic healthcare? They can go fuck themselves with Nagan's barbed wire-covered baseball bat.
