SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas and seven other states in the U.S. due to a measles outbreak.

In a statement issued by Mexico’s Health Secretary, it describes 106 cases of measles in the states of Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island and in nine counties throughout Texas.

The Texas Health Department confirmed this week the death of a child who had contracted measles, the first such death in the U.S. since 2015.

I guess what I was thinking was that instead of fitting what they were really doing on a hat, MAGA came up with a slogan instead. I think I confused myself

It's not fitting it on the hat that's the problem, it's making it catchy. Just say the whole thing, that's more impactful.

Consider Embarrassment and how that might skew results, some people will lie about food security to save face.

13.5 percent (18.0 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2023.

Well, I guess "making your country such a shithole that no one wants to come here" is technically one way to stop immigration...

To be fair Mexicans should probably be advised against traveling in Texas for their own safety anyway.

4D chess up in here. Take THAT, migrants! Don’t want to come up here now, do ya?

(Looks up measles vaccination rates in US vs Mexico)

Well at least you are probably starting off protected.
