Letter writer thanks another for illness info

Thank you, Jack Porter, for pointing out that obesity is a disease. Watching the news, I saw more “diseased” caravaners coming towards our border.

Not only obese, but reportably falling ill along the way. Polio, whooping cough, measles, TB, all on the rise along the trail after eradication here in our United States.

Those for “Open Borders” need to re-think this aspect of immigration.

By the way, am I the only one seeing clean travelers? New backpacks? Are those all the backpacks we give to the school kids every year? If I go camping, I am dirty in three days. These people are clean. Cleaner than those at the Fresno Air Terminal waiting to board a flight!

Thanks again, Jack
