A second Congressman in two months has voiced concern, incorrectly, that migrant children coming from Mexico and Central America may carry the Ebola virus.

The outbreak of the disease has currently claimed more than 880 lives in the Western African nations of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, and is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids, blood and objects like needles that break the surface of the skin and can get into the bloodstream.

There are no cases of the outbreak reported in Mexico and health officials say it is not possible for the virus to get into the country.

Cuitlahuac Ruiz Matus, the director of epidemiology at the Mexican Ministry of Health, told the Epoch Times that there is "not even a remote possibility" that the virus could reach Mexico.

Addressing similar concerns in discussions about the outbreak affecting the U.S., William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, told Fox News, "It's really intimate, hands-on contact and involvement with the sick person's body fluids. Being in the same room with a person in and of itself is not hazardous."

But the two Congressmen feel otherwise.

Last month, Georgia Rep. Phil Gingrey, who is a longtime physician, wrote a letter voicing his concern, according to MSNBC.

"Reports of illegal migrants carrying deadly diseases such as swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis are particularly concerning. Many of the children who are coming across the border also lack basic vaccinations such as those to prevent chicken pox or measles. This makes those Americans that are not vaccinated -- and especially young children and the elderly -- particularly susceptible," Gingrey wrote in July.

He said his comments were based off of a list of diseases the border patrol said they were concerned about.

Another Congressman, Indiana Rep. Todd Rokita, told an Indiana radio station WIBC 93.1 FM that he and others sent a letter to the President voicing their concerns.

"We sent a letter to the president saying look, first of all, we've have [sic] got to know, not from the press, we've got to know ahead of time so we can plan for this," Rokita said, according to the Huffington Post. "We did that, Dr. Buschon was helpful... He said, look, we need to know just from a public-health standpoint, with ebola circulating and everything else -- no, that's my addition to it, not necessarily his -- but he said we need to know the condition of these kids as well."
