Swine Flu & Gun Control – compare & contrast

There are over 40 cases (so far) of swine flu here in the United States, all of which originated in Mexico. They have shutdown schools here in Texas and in New York. The government is suggesting that all “non-essential travel” to Mexico be cancelled. They are also advising that people stay in their homes and avoid crowds as much as possible. Over 100 have already died in Mexico, and hundreds more are possibly infected.
When liberals heard that 90% of all guns used to commit crimes in Mexico, were smuggled into Mexico from the USA, they immediately called for stronger gun control laws. Even after that figured is proven to be completely false, they still say that we need stronger gun control here… for the sake of Mexico. Now that we have PROVEN cases of a deadly infection which originated in Mexico, where are the liberals? Why aren’t they demanding tougher customs laws to protect our citizens? Why aren’t they calling for tougher immigration laws? Why aren’t they demanding we build a wall along the border to protect our citizens from deadly Mexican diseases? The truth is that those liberals already had their agenda, and they were just looking for a situation to exploit. It wasn’t really about protecting poor people in Mexico. Now that there is a situation which is threatening American lives, it is not of major concern because it does not fit their agenda. In fact, this situation is in opposition to their agenda of open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. No, we are happy to restrict our freedom and our lives in order to fight the spread of this disease. Restricting the free (and illegal) flow of traffic across the border is considered outrageous, mean-spirited, and unnecessary. Besides, if we do have a full blown outbreak of one form or another, you can always go to your local hospital for vaccines and emergency health care. Unless you live in a border state where many hospitals are closing their doors because illegal aliens use their services and never pay their bills. In those places, you will have to fend for yourself.
I wonder if we can use the bricks from those bankrupt hospitals to build a wall along the border.
