IT'S SILLY TO BLAME A POROUS BORDER FOR SWINE FLU IN US
It is rather silly to dish about border infiltration right now, since there's no proof ANY illegals are trying to enter to avoid the flu. Not to mention that all of the non-Mexican cases began from non-illegal non-Mexicans who brought the virus back to the US after vacationing in Mexico. Instead of the US trying to cement our borders AGAINST people from Mexico, it would be wiser to prohibit Americans from vacationing in Mexico.
Stopping Americans from travelling to Mexico and back would be more intelligent than trying to close the borders against non-existent Mexicans who aren't trying to flee to the US to escape this flu.

"Neither is there an explanation for how these flies were able to travel hundreds of miles to infect others."
La Gloria is less than 5 miles from the Granja Carroll farm, and the local officials must have taken the fly infestation seriously enough to have responded to reports of 4-500 people being sickened with respiratory illness to vaccinate all the pigs, all the people of La Gloria, fumigate the farms and the people's homes, and spray to get rid of the government acknowleged black fly problem at the farm and in the homes--- before this was called a pandemic... there are also many huge poultry mega-farms in the area as well, at least one of which suffered a huge avian flu problem recently. The flies did not need to travel hundreds of miles. It's a hop, skip and a jump in La Gloria to get from a pig farm to a poultry farm to human residences. And that's not taking into account how many of the locals actually work at either the pig or poultry farm. There isn't much other industry in the area.
Hate illegal aliens all you want... but be intelligent enough to realize when a news story doesn't fit in with that hatred.
Handing out harsh legal repercussions for people/businesses who hire illegals for pennies on the dollar would do more towards eliminating illegal aliens than any other action. They come here for jobs, that dishonest greedy businesspeople provide for them here. If those jobs dried up, they would have no incentive to come here. I, for one, would be willing to pay a higher price for my produce in order to see that happen. Would you?
