My son had an "Ellis Island" simulation in his 5th grade class before his school year ended. It was pretty well done.

They had parents playing roles of the immigration officers, including a doctor and a couple of nurses in the role of medical officers. The teacher had a list of diseases that earned hopeful immigrants a trip back to their country of origin. It was a pretty long list IIRC.

My point is if there are illegal immigrants who have communicable diseases living in this country it would seem to me to be a good thing to find them and deport them as soon as possible.

Or are we supposed to wait for an outbreak of Chagas before we do anything?

In the old days if you came to this country with a communicable disease you were booted out. You are absolutely correct.

FWII, TB and polio, which were "eliminated" in the US, are making a comeback, mostly due to our soft legal immigration and, of course, illegal immigration.
