Here is a report about measles exposure in New York and New Jersey:

Read it carefully and you will find no mention of where this traveler originated. But I would guess the person may have come from Israel. Don't they have vaccines there?
Q: Which makes more sense to you - exposing our children to dozens of potentially dangerous vaccines, or controlling people's ability to enter our country whenever they want WITHOUT being screened for disease?
A: I vote for screening everyone before they get on the plane. If they don't pass, bar them from flying until they recover. A rapid screening test for common infectious diseases could be provided at minimal cost - a cost which should be paid for by the traveler, not by the citizens of the USA.
The very concept of unrestricted travel is BS.
By the way, TSA is working hard to intercept 'terrorists' who are travelling to or from the US, but apparently doing nothing to stop travelers carrying infectious diseases:

Aren't both a threat? There have been far more infections than terror attacks since 9/11.
This report appears to confirm my suspicions about this event:
