After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

So measles is terrible for everyone, aside from pregnant women who are at risk of having their babies born deaf...so tell me again why this moron is in charge of HHS?
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
