SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas and seven other states in the U.S. due to a measles outbreak.

In a statement issued by Mexico’s Health Secretary, it describes 106 cases of measles in the states of Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island and in nine counties throughout Texas.

The Texas Health Department confirmed this week the death of a child who had contracted measles, the first such death in the U.S. since 2015.

Well, I guess "making your country such a shithole that no one wants to come here" is technically one way to stop immigration...

MAASHA. Even the acronym sounds russian.

It's not fitting it on the hat that's the problem, it's making it catchy. Just say the whole thing, that's more impactful.

I guess what I was thinking was that instead of fitting what they were really doing on a hat, MAGA came up with a slogan instead. I think I confused myself

13.5 percent (18.0 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2023.

Consider Embarrassment and how that might skew results, some people will lie about food security to save face.

To be fair Mexicans should probably be advised against traveling in Texas for their own safety anyway.
