Tuberculosis Cases Soaring in Seattle

TB cases in Seattle and King County have increased and, in 2007, reached a 30-year-record high of 161 active disease cases - three-quarters of them from people born in other countries.

The following is a quote from a best seller on the illegal invasion published a few years ago: "The invasion of illegal aliens pouring over borders of the United States is taking an ominous turn. Their bodies may carry Hepatitus A, B, and C, tuberculosis, leprosy, and Chagas disease. Chagas is a nasty parasitic bug common in Latin America where 18 million are infected and 50,000 deaths occur annually. Some of the TB now being diagnosed is the multi-drug resistant form. In 2002, northern Virginia reported a 17 percent surge in tuberculosis cases; in Prince William County, the increase was a staggering 188 percent. In northern Virginia, foreign-born accounted for 82 percent of all cases. Three countries, all of which send immigrants and illegal aliens to America, account for two-thirds of all TB cases: Mexico, Vietnam and the Phiippines. The New York Academy of Sciences reports that "TB bacteria readily fly through the air, as when an afflicted person coughs. It's estimated that each victim will infect 10, 20, or more people - in time bomb effect. The incidence of TB is ten times as high among immigrants as native-born. Among immigrant children it is 100 times as high."

And the other quarter caught it from people born in other countries.

Couldn’t have anything to do with the fact Seattle is a sanctuary city could it? Nah, no way.

Just passing along the infectious diseases that Americans won’t.

just another of the many benefits of illegal immigration.

the local paper published a letter just last week from some moron liberal who was babbling on about how we need more illegals to increase tax revenue.

Ain't cultural diversity grand? Illegal immigrants should have just as much right to infect us as anybody else!

[teawithmisswilliams]

Well, third-world diseases are just another aspect of the diversity that is somehow so great for us.

If you want to get really depressed, look up “Cysticercosis”. Be careful who makes your sandwiches or your salads.

Mexicans on their way to Canada to shore up the ‘immigration quotas’ up there. Strangely, Canada lies about how ‘many’ immigrants they get as opposed to the US who lies to us about how ‘few’ illegals we are getting.

The Canadian PM claims that they are getting MORE immigrants (there is no such thing as ‘illegal’ there) to fill their labor shortages (ie, jobs Canadians have absolutely no plans whatsoever of ever doing themselves under any circumstances, apparently) and brags about how many have come to the country in 2007!

Hey, Prime Minister Harper! We’ve got an extra 50,000 here in Nevada we could ship you! And I’m sure Los Angeles would love to lighten its load somewhere on the order of 1M or more. Just let us know how many you need and we’ll start putting up flyers at Home Depot announcing the Canadian jobs ready to be filled.

It’s incredible to me that such a notion as “sanctuary cities” could be tolerated in 21st century America! The very idea that CITIES can create laws that stand in direct and total contradiction and defiance of laws enacted by the state and federal governments, and are tolerated for a second, defies imagination! It’s obvious that the U.S. Constitution is now meaningless.

There are alot of those liberal morons, especially among the Democrats. In ‘06, Robert Rector of Heritage published his exhaustive and thoroughly researched study of the effects of unrestrained illegal immigration into the United States for the next twenty years. He extrapolated that this massive, unprecedented invasion would likely destroy the entire social, economic and political infrastructure of America. He was quoted by Jeff Sessions on the Senate floor during the “comprehensive (amnesty) immigration” debate, appeared on C-Span, Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh, etc. But since that bill was defeated last June I’m afraid many of us conservatives have gone to sleep. That’s what our opponents are relying on. They sre vigorously promoting amnesty but are doing it quietly and incrementally - by stealth! I know it’s difficult to stay focused on an issue we imagine we’ve won. But we havn’t! Conservatives, WAKE UP!

[T.L.Sink]

Unfortunately, I think the diversity game is killing us. We’ve become so indoctrinated in education, politics, and our culture by what is PC, multicultural and morally equivalent that I seriously doubt we are capable of going beyond those parameters. But to simply say it’s “indoctrination” leaves most people skeptical because they think of the old Soviet Union, China and the worst incidents of the Cold War. But it’s much more subtle and and gradual than that. And we ARE becoming more of a Third World nation every day - with all the vulnerabilities that implies.
