    Why don't you go with that, without all the paranoia?

    Ted Cruz is not a serious candidate. Plus, for the majority of his life, he was a Canadian citizen. He does not pass the smell test.

    How an Amish missionary caused 2014's massive measles outbreak
    by Julia Belluz on January 29, 2015

    Last year was terrible for measles in the United States: there were 644 cases — the highest annual caseload in two decades. Granola-crunching Californians, wealthy Oregonians, and Jenny McCarthy anti-vaccine acolytes have taken much of the blame for this spike. The Washington Post even pointed to Orange County — the location of the current Disneyland outbreak — as "Ground Zero in our current epidemic of anti-vaccine hysteria."​

    But that's wrong. The real story behind the 2014 outbreak isn't on the West Coast. It's in Ohio Amish country, where a missionary returning from the Philippines turned an otherwise unremarkable year for this virus into one of the worst in recent history.

    That's where Jacqueline Fletcher, the public health nursing director for Ohio's Knox County, got an harried call from a pay phone last April.

    A member of the local Amish community was on the line. There was a potential measles outbreak in the town, the woman said, and the public health department should know.

    Vaccinate your children and let those incompetent parents who choose not to do so live with the consequences.

    How will you call out the illegals to receive their vaccinations? Will you offer them amnesty? Will you deport them if they refuse?

    Because illegals are such massive beneficiaries of government aid, they are likely all immunized.

    Sarcasm, meet cynicism. Or is it the other way around? Good one, dude. :D

    you were busy injecting your douchey strawmen into the argument to see that argument.

    Are your children illegal? If not, how is that pertinent?
