Unfortunately the government does not enforce this as strictly it has
in the past and some of those diseases are on the rise.

Sorry Leon, but that is not correct. Having been employed with public
health for 17+ years, I can assure you the enforcements are even stricter
than before. However, your observation that there has been a rise in the
incidents of childhood infectious disease is correct. If you look at the
demographic breakdown, you'll see that the rise is occuring due to illegal
migrants. The mexican, central and south american countries do not have
the same level of immunization laws and required compliance as America.


The rise in illegal migrants was what I was getting at. Sorry for the
choice of words in that respect.
