Socialist Mexican health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell is now threatening to close the borders with the US over the coronavirus outbreak. I can only hope they follow through and actually do this. After all the diseases and viruses brought to the US from Mexico and illegal alien immigration throughout the decades, like the H1N1 Swine Flu in 2009 under Obama, they have a lot of nerve claiming that Americans would bring the virus to Mexico. People aren’t exactly rushing to Mexico for business or vacations with the drug lords basically running the country. But I really hope Mexico follows through on their threat to close the border. It would benefit this country far more than Mexico.

For once, the conversation over closing the US-Mexico border is being driven b Mexican health officials who say they are considering shutting out Americans to keep coronavirus out of their country.
There are currently more than 2,000 cases of the virus in the US and it is spreading rapidly. Forty-three people have died from it.
By contrast in Mexico, there have only been 16 confirmed cases and no deaths.
At a press conference on Friday, health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said: ‘Mexico wouldn’t bring the virus to the United States, rather the United States would bring it here.
‘The possible flow of coronavirus would come from the north to the south.
‘If it were technically necessary, we would consider mechanisms of restriction or stronger surveillance,’ he said.
