Maine confirms its first case of measles in 20 years

Trump voter here. I am no anti-vaxxer nor am I religious however I want to point out that the largest U.S. outbreak of measles in nearly 30 years was within Minnesota's Somali community.

The state has reported 44 confirmed cases of measles since April 11, and the outbreak is the largest this year in the United States, which had essentially eradicated the disease in 2000 before discredited research stoked fears of a link between vaccines and autism.

Most of those Somalis were imported into the U.S. through a Democratic refugee resettlement program started by Jimmy Carter in 1980 and accelerated by Obama.

My point is I'm not placing blame on Democrats nor should you place the blame on us.
