Not at the moment. I understand the concern. Just would like to see some evidence, rather than assumptions passed off as fact.

I work in a field that has some relation to infection control. It’s a pretty well known fact that the resurgence of various diseases in this country, notably tuberculosis, is largely related to increased immigration from countries where these diseases are still endemic.

It’s also well known that you’d better not bring the issue up, except perhaps in a rigorously documented paper, or you’ll be accused of hate speech, etc.

However, I’ve also seen claims that the resurgence of bedbugs is related to immigration, and that probably isn’t true. It’s caused by banning of the most effective pesticides and the bugs growing resistance to the ones still permitted.

IOW, immigration is a cause, not always the main one, in some health issues and not in others. We ought to try to use evidence to determine which applies in a given case.

You have been defending the imposing of disease
by Obama on several threads.

Are you in the White HOuse now, or with IS?
