Swine flu

Hi
Well the topic du jour has not eluded me. The world seems to be bent on preventing the spread of swine flu. (I make no apology to Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano for use of the term "swine flu:). Israel has called it "Mexican flu" which brings me to some thing I have written about in previous blogs. I do not blame Mexico for the disease but I do fault poor control over borders by nations, particularly the United States , for giving this a chance to spread. Maybe this will prompt our leaders to act to secure the border, we are already porous and susceptible to another epidemic, illegal drugs. One added feature of proper control of our borders would be the lessening of the chance of communicable diseases being brought into the country.
As a recap of my earlier blog I will enumerate the ways I would control the border:
First - apply the "tag up" rule. All illegals in the country would be required to return to their native country and get a certificate which would be presented to a representative of the United States in their country.
Second - the US representative would issue a tamper proof document which would be used as a legal entry into the United States.
Third - the alien must present this document to anther US representative in the states. This document would be registered and stmmped and woud serve as a work permit.
Finally - when the alien goes for employment the stamped document must be presented and the potential employer has a short time to verify the authenticity of the document. No verification, no job with the penalty for violating this being a steep fine on any emloyer who violates the law.
Let me call attention to the first step, getting the initial permit,this must contain at least 2 facts, one is that the applicants criminal record, if any, and secondly that the applicant does not any communicable disease.
Simple and inexpensive, that is why politicians from both parties have not implemented any thing like it. Indirectly the inaction of the American government has abetted this epidemic. We deserve better.
As a change of pace there is one group that get inoculated against diseases, our armed forces. They are vulnerable in other ways so please continue to pray for them.
GOD Bless
