has anyone considered that the unvaccinated illegal aliens might be spreading disease?

Even if they were indeed "illegal aliens," they would not be much of a threat had countries obeyed vaccination programs. By saying such a statement, I would like to give you a biiiiig congrats... for playing yourself.

California has a huge, and growing homeless population. Last I checked, the homeless don't have great healthcare plans. Additionally, the illegal alien populations tend to cluster together - leaving the unvaccinated in close proximity to the infected invaders. I suspect the measles is primarily infecting homeless children and illegal aliens.

How did I play myself again? Truth is truth.

While it is true that the homeless population are more vulnerable, some of them still receive vaccinations. Moreover, as you can see in these research articles that none of the cases were caused by immigrants.

Now the burden of proof is on you. What evidence and sources do you have to trace measles outbreaks to illegal immigration?

'Patient zero' in measles outbreak is a foreigner, which is a common way outbreaks start

Foreigners aren't necessarily illegal immigrants. To systematically describe every foreigner as an "illegal alien" would be a xenophobic black-and-white fallacy. In fact, Daniel Salmon in the article you posted explicitly stressed that the people involved in these outbreaks are not illegal immigrants, but rather people who have enough wealth to travel legally. Many, many people have the resources for international travel, and travelling around the world is always associated with a risk of disease transmission. The solution is to vaccinate the population and render them immune to these outbreaks rather than shut off everyone travelling to America. Had the kids who interacted with Patient Zero been vaccinated, the disease would have remain contained. So no, illegal immigrants have little, if any, relevance to these outbreaks.

When was the last time ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN allowed the words "illegal alien" to be spoken on their networks or on their websites? Here's a hint - it's been a while.

Please.... If you can't see past the bias, then you have no business arguing.

Then you still haven't posted evidence directly showing that illegal immigrants are actually the source of the problem...

And clearly you haven't even seen the various articles that I have posted, the articles showing that the cases were caused by people who travelled LEGALLY or for work. Bruh moment right there.

Maybe try cleaning up your massive piles of rat-infested garbage, raw sewage sidewalks, and third-world invaders before cheerleading corporate pharma. You might sound more believable.

Except that vaccinating the native population would stop these so-called "invaders" from infecting said native population so you're still wrong about that. Perhaps less xenophobia and more logic would help.
