From Mexico's perspective, the border encompasses some of the country's most economically prosperous states. In contrast, the U.S. border region is among the poorest areas in the United States, with >30% of families living at or below the poverty level[8]. Along the Texas border, an estimated 350,000 or more people live in 1,450 unincorporated areas known as colonias, which lack adequate sanitation infrastructure[8].
The large population movement, limited public health infrastructure, and poor environmental conditions contribute to increased incidence of certain infectious diseases[8-11] Analysis of data from the U.S. National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System for 1990 through 1998 showed increased risks for certain foodborne, waterborne, and vaccine-preventable diseases in U.S. counties within 100 kilometers of the border, compared with nonborder states. These data show a two- to fourfold greater incidence of hepatitis A, measles, rubella, shigellosis, and rabies and an eightfold greater incidence of brucellosis in border counties than in nonborder states[11]. Studies have identified the importance of cross-border movement in the transmission of various diseases, including hepatitis A[12,13], tuberculosis[14-18], shigellosis[19], syphilis[20], Mycobacterium bovis infection[21], and brucellosis[22,23].

If the bird flu enters the USA thanks to illegals, the MSM won't bother to tell us about it.
I wasn't worried about the bird flu until I read up and realized just what kinds of pestilence the illegals were bringing with them.

"I've sent this story to Lou Dobbs asking him to talk about it. He's about the only one who would."

Good idea, Lady! I'll send it to Gibson.
People are always talking about Bird Flu and the like- I'm more concerned about an influx of uninoculated persons bringing back diseases most Americans assume have been wiped out. You have an additional problem of alot of those people being relatively uneducated and ignorant about disease prevention, and living in very crowded conditions.
America is a very generous, welcoming country. God bless America and those seeking the American dream.
This all has to Stop/End. - With haste!
If I hadn't heard it directly from the horses mouth, so to speak, I wouldn't have believed it either.
And you're right, it has to stop. We must demand it from our locals, or else there will be an uprising.
This has gone way too far.
And when the illegal Mexican Nationales my neighbor hired to illegally clear out his trees were using the bordering creek to take dumps, the county scoffed at me when I complained about it. Essentially told me to mind my own business.
These workers didn't even have the manners to cover them up. My dog rolled in one. Made me sick
Yes, that's very gracious of you.
However, what happens, Lord forbid, if you mlc9852 (or a family member of yours)
-have to be rushed to the ER
and when your ambulance -
- arrives with You in it/ and you can't be seen right away
[because of the over crowded conditions in your ER]- -
[even though you have your own paid up health ins.]- - and ahhh,
you (or one of your family members) - -
[because of these ongoing over crowded conditions in your ER] - -
- - you just happen to - -
.....................expire - - while - - - - - - - waiting your turn. ?
What cha think mlc???
(I'm interested in seeing how mlc reponds to my above)
*snicker*
Add to that black mold in bathrooms. I first started seeing it when I was a young contractor, in the bathrooms of Caribbean "immigrants." Now it's everywhere.
Black mold....hadn't heard about that one. Some forms of it are apparently dangerous.
