Lies, hate and dengue fever

(July, 2014)

Ya know, people can rant all they want making up lies about dengue fever being spread by undocumented Honduran children and it will have no health effects on anybody, you either get bit by an infected mosquito or not. All this does is encourage racism. It’s not even an immigration thing, if it were they’d be warning us against anyone who came from a tropical region, legal immigrants, returning vacationers, business travelers, even people who went to the World Cup. But they don’t. This isn’t about immigration policy and it’s not about public health. This is just about racists who can’t stand the sight of little brown babies. This is just hate, pure hate.

Congressman Phil Gringey, MD, says illegal immigrant children will give you dengue fever. It's one thing to be an ignorant politician. It's quite another to be a lying doctor.
