You need to think much more. But before you do that, you need to read much more.

Hilarious from a low IQ who is always on the wrong side of every major issue .
You are a seasoned Fake News producer , almost certainly because your news sources are fifth rate , and, frankly , your ability to research always seems non existent .

Good point, there are many other illegals from all over South America and they have 100 percent unvaccined rate

The Truth About Measles and Illegal Immigration


Much of the concern around illegal immigration and disease transmission, particularly measles, is based more on fear than on facts. When you look closely at the data, the idea that illegal immigrants are a major vector for measles simply doesn't hold up.

Roughly 85% of all illegal immigrants come from Central and South America, where immunization rates are consistently high and comparable to those in the United States. The only outlier is Venezuela, which has a lower vaccination rate of about 70%—but Venezuelans make up only 4% of the illegal immigrant population. This means the vast majority of illegal immigrants are coming from countries where measles immunization is already a public health priority.

But even more important than immunization rates are two critical—and often overlooked—factors: age and assimilation patterns.

1. Age:
Measles spreads primarily among young children. In the United States, 6.3% of the population are young children, making them a key group in disease transmission. By contrast, less than 1% of the illegal immigrant population falls into this age group. That makes illegal immigrants about six times less likely to contribute to measles outbreaks based on age alone.

2. Assimilation:
Illegal immigrants tend to live in close-knit communities and interact less with the broader population, particularly in the early stages of their time in the U.S. This slower assimilation means they are less likely to be a source of widespread disease transmission.

Conclusion:
When you consider the facts—high immunization rates, a low percentage of young children, and limited initial interaction with the general population—it becomes clear that illegal immigrants are significantly less likely to spread measles than the general public. Public health concerns should be rooted in data, not assumptions or fear.

More unsubstantiated lying BS. If you had a source for all this garbage, surely you would be smart enough to post it---Scratch that, you're a democrat.

The immigration rates are available on Internet. The immunization rates come from the WHO, the primary source of for global medical statistics.

"Are unvaxxed illegal immigrants responsible for the measle outbreaks in Texas this year?"

No—there is no evidence that unvaccinated undocumented immigrants are responsible for the 2025 measles outbreaks in Texas.

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the outbreak in Gaines County and surrounding areas originated with Texas residents who had not traveled internationally, and officials have not identified a specific source2. While some social media posts and public figures have speculated about a link to immigration, health officials—including Dr. Jennifer Shuford, the state’s health commissioner—have stated clearly that they do not know who introduced the virus and have no data linking it to migrants.

What We Do Know:​

• The outbreak involved over 150 cases, with low local vaccination rates contributing to its spread.
• Measles is highly contagious, and outbreaks often occur when the virus enters communities with vaccination rates below 95%, the threshold for herd immunity.
• Samples from the outbreak show it was caused by a wild-type virus, not a vaccine strain.

Context Matters​

While immigration can be a factor in public health planning, experts emphasize that community vaccination rates and early detection are far more critical in preventing outbreaks. Blaming undocumented immigrants without evidence risks spreading misinformation and distracts from effective solutions.
