    Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) said the border should be closed until the threat is resolved.

    "The public needs to be aware of the serious threat of swine flu, and we need to close our borders to Mexico immediately and completely until this is resolved," Massa said in a statement.

    "I am making this announcement because I see this as a serious threat to the health of the American public and I do not believe this issue is receiving the attention it needs to have in the news," Massa said.

    Poor guy, Robert Gibbs is going to tee off on him...

    Agree 100% percent. We need to be in full lockdown mode. And EVERYTHING where civilians come into contact with one another needs to be cancelled. It's time to panic, IMO.

    Why do board Republicans actively want things to get worse?

    If they close the border, just who is going to do all the concrete work, roofing, drywall, painting on all our new expensive houses being built here???

    I hope builders don't expect us to pay for the 25% increases in prces to build our nice new home.

    Man, if I have a plain as day fault, it's that I'm an anxiety ridden, hypochondriac, germaphobe to begin with. I'll flip out over a common cold, much less a potential pandemic. I mean, I'm full on losing hours of sleep and almost all functionality because of this. So it might not be rational, at all, but the fact remains I'm terrified enough right now that I'd accept just about anything that I thought would help the situation.

    Probably because they might actually get that.

    Funny how or years, contact diseases have been coming over with the illegals. Now that it's the flu that can kill, someone finally wakes up? If this is what it takes to get border security, then fine. Better late than never.

    You are twisted...

    Because of the rebalancing of supply and demand in the workforce, wages will increase for others as well. Not just construction workers.

    Am I the only one who's not the least bit worried about this?

    Damn, just wash your hands and stay away from sniffly, sneezy people. I do that anyway.

    Unfortunately for your dumb "blame it on Obama" ass, the CDC said closing the borders would be pointless, as it has already escaped from the geographic place it originated from.

    Once again, your war on science causes you to fail.

    I just find it funny that it's a NY guy coming out and saying it. I mean, Democrat/Republican/whatever, who cares, but NY? Unless he's talking about the Canadian border, he should have gotten a few people from the Southern States to bring up the idea with him.

    When you lay down and tonight and try to go to sleep, I want you to think about your pillow. Think about the microscopic dust mites living in it, crawling around in it, crapping in it. They crap 20 times a day. Imagine them coming out from between the threads and crawling on your face. Dozens of tiny insects crawling on your face and crapping on it as you sleep. Sweet dreams.

    Ballijuana, if you can't sleep, think about your computer keyboard. Think about all the bacteria and microorganisms that get trapped between the keys. Think of all the oils from your fingers that get left on there, and what is growing in them. Do you wash your hands after every time you touch your keyboard? Do you touch your face while at the computer? Your mouth?

    I might normally be concerned enough about stuff like that, that I'd bleach my pillows when I wash them. But right now? I got bigger fish to fry. In fact, given the God awful situation we're dealing with, were they my only concern, I'd welcome dust mites or a dirty keyboard with open arms.

    So nice try, but, fail.

    Yes the economic war declared on blue collar America is not sufficent reason to close the border. the collapse of overstrained social services is not enough, the schools of the working class flooded and in shambels is not enough, the importation of drugs that are destroying whole communities is not enough.The prisons full to busrting with illegals is not enough, MS13 murdering innocents in the streets of S.F. is not enough.But the fear you may get a deadly flu from your domestic staff maybe the clincher.
