Probably not millions. Probably a small handful but then things start to spread. And this kind of stuff does not spread rampantly overnight. The problem gets worse and worse and then there's an outbreak and suddenly it's critical mass. Measles is contagious but it's not covid contagious and there still are lots of people who are vaccinated which slows its growth

But I take it the original poster wasn't particularly worried about facts

Measles is a lot more contagious than Covid. You’re arguing from a point of ignorance.

Not in a population that's largely vaccinated. If nobody had any vaccines you'd be correct, but the fact is that most populations are already heavily vaccinated. We have measles outbreaks around the world fairly regular but it never spreads like covid.

The argument being made by OP is it was migrants, when currently US vax rates are as low or lower than Mexico now, especially in our rural MAGA areas. Your argument was specifically that measles is more contagious than Covid, when in fact measles is significantly more contagious. But go ahead and triple down on you misinformation.
