also, how does one blame this on illegal immigration when this disease originated in an area with no documented detention center for these children. then it hit canada (a place where no one can proclaim is connected to these illegal immigrants) much harder than the states of Florida, Nevada, new mexico, california, texas, & arizona combined. which are the states where most of illegals are located. that is also a question that conservatives here don't seem willing to explain.

If we're speaking hypothetically, i would say that it could travel by bus or plane. Doesn't take long to get to Kansas City from the border by bus or plane, two ways people were transported from the border, and usually bus or plane transportation is pretty direct, meaning there wouldn't be pockets of infected along the way for such a rare disease. Hypothetically speaking of course.

You are asking a different question from your original in the second part of your post i quoted here. I'll say this again. I AM NOT BLAMING THIS ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN. The original question was whether oe not it was racist to ask if the influx of illegal immigrants and the outbreak of EV-D68 was racist. I maintain it is not racist to ask that question. You have given no proof that it is.
