The idea of closing and militarizing the border isn't to stop Illegals, but to keep the virus from breaking out on a massive scale over here by so many people fleeing their country.
It'd be more rational if nativists hadn't been trying to close the border for decades.

This flu is short-term, the drug war and immigration is long term. We need to start a flu vaccination now as opposed to closing our doors and hoping we have a good seal on our windows.
