Wow GF, and you call our supposed source of news an imbecile?  Help me understand the logic here Goofy.  Very poor children cross the border illegally with very few caught and the government somehow inspected them and vaccinated them.  Thanks for that laugher.  But more to the point, and why your source for this nonsense is nothing but a left ing hit job: the numbers for vaccination rates in central American countries comes from the World Health Organization (WHO).  According to WHO, the reliability of those estimates is very low.  As they put it so well, their estimates are "based on data and information that are of varying, and, in some instances, unknown quality."  In other words they are guessing.  

Another factoid, your so trusted Tampa Bay fact checker cherry picked numbers to make their point.  In fact, the majority of the central American countries estimated vaccination rates went down dramatically in 2013 over 2012 (again, with very low confidence) and were below the U.S. estimate.  To put this into perspective, the CDC recently warned of a measles outbreak in the Phillipines.  The WHO's estimate of their vaccination rate in that country?  91%.  But even if vaccination rates in these countries are reasonably high (which I seriously doubt), I can assure you that the very poor that were streaming into the country are the least likely to have been vaccinated.

So once again Goofy, your inability to get beyond the slanted news organ that says something you like has trapped you.  I personally don't have any idea whether this was the cause of the measles outbreak although the timing is certainly suspicious.  On a final note, I and most intelligent people use multiple sources for our news and view Rush Limbaugh as a commentator on the news and an entertainer.  At least we know the difference and don't view comedy channels and all the BS's (nBS, cBS, aBS, pmsnBS, pBS, etc.) as reliable sources of news.  Now that is imbecilic!

Sometimes GF you just make this too easy.
