Sadly, not only are illegal migrants arriving in the United States, but they are bringing the measles virus with them. At a Chicago migrant shelter in Pilsen on the Southwest Side, there have been four cases of measles identified.
There has been an additional fifth Chicago measles victim.
In 2000, the CDC declared that measles was eliminated from the United States. There have been cases of measles in America since then, apparently all of them originated from foreign visitors.
Nationwide, according to a CDC announcement last week, there have been 45 cases of measles identified in 17 states.
Measles kills 200,000 people yearly, according to the Mayo Clinic.
