When two Japanese youngsters visiting the U.S. to be part of the Little League World Series were diagnosed this past week with measles, officials were able to alert people who may have been exposed. Those affected individuals could go and get a check up, make sure that their vaccines were up to date, and make sure that they have not contracted a serious illness.
The diagnosed individuals came to our country through legitimate channels, bringing a dangerous disease with them. What happens when a person sneaks into our country, without our knowledge or any documentation, and brings a communicable disease with them?
