In this article, there are some more issues disscused about the swine flu and its affects on Immigration. For example it is mentioned how the swine flu has now been labeled as the "Mexican swine flu". Immigrants have been looked down upon for years and this has added more pressure and labeling to mexican immigration in the U.S. In the article the owner of a restaraunt explains how the U.S. should not look down on mexico and should instead work together to solve problems that affect both countries. Mexico is in the bull’s-eye of conservatives who view Hispanic immigrants as a drain on the U.S. economy, national security, culture and, now, welfare. The H1N1 virus, first labeled “swine flu,” is called the “Mexican swine flu” by some conservatives- This quote reminds me of something Huntington would agree with and would probably use to further explain why latinos are a threat to the U.S.
