I go with legitimate sources of data. You have absoutely no proof that the percentage of illegal immigrants in this country that are unvaccinated is greater than zero. ..

In the midst of this campaign, however, there has been scant attention paid to the dangers of our current border crisis as they relate to the outbreak of serious contagious diseases in the United States.
Interestingly, a recent article from Reuters (
"Mumps, other outbreaks force U.S. detention centers to quarantine over 2,000 migrants") failed to make the connection, although it spoke in explicit detail about detained aliens who were quarantined because of exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases. The key paragraph in that article (from my perspective) states:
ICE health officials have been notified of 236 confirmed or probable cases of mumps among detainees in 51 facilities in the past 12 months, compared to no cases detected between January 2016 and February 2018. Last year, 423 detainees were determined to have influenza and 461 to have chicken pox. All three diseases are largely preventable by vaccine.
