Open Borders Creates Severe Health Concerns: Illegal Immigration Brings Diseases to US
While political and verbal posturing shamelessly continues by Mr. Obama and associates
in the border saga, an on-going border “war” rages. Not only are brave law
enforcement professionals at risk by standing in the gap between illegal aliens, drug
thugs, escaped and released criminals, terrorists, mentally ill, and America’s well-being,
but an insidious health crisis is also flowing across the southern border of America.

Hospital Emergency Departments in border cities are having to battle with new strains of
antibiotic resistant infections, and diseases America basically eradicated many years ago;
diseases like: tuberculosis, pneumonias, staph, parasitic Chagas disease, and leprosy.
Some American cities have prided themselves in becoming “sanctuary cities” opening
their communities to any and all illegal aliens.

Chagas: A devastating parasite that was primarily relegated to Latin America; now prevalent in Los Angeles, California and spreading.

Cysticercosis: Latin America brainworm, and as The Wall Street Journal reported, “In recent years, as the immigration population has spread…
cysticercosis has cropped up in states that have never had to deal with it before, including Iowa, Ohio, Missouri and Oregon.”

Necrotizing fasciitis: Basically a flesh-eating bacterium.

Leprosy: Difficult to believe, but health officials in Maryland, Florida, California,
Louisiana, Texas, New York City, Hawaii are having to battle this heinous disease.

Bedbugs: New strains which are resistant to fumigation.
The New York Times reported, “…bedbugs are spreading throughout New York City like a swarm of locusts…even in top addresses on Park Avenue, Riverside Drive and Helmsley Park Lane.”
These bugs are terrible, they hurt, they suck your blood, and they leave discoloration and soreness. They are spreading into hospitals!

Toxocara roundworm parasite: Can cause blindness and epilepsy.
This parasite is on a dramatic increase, and is being found in many playgrounds.
Multiple hospitals in Los Angeles are reporting rapid increases of seizures and other neurological events caused by tapeworms and related parasites.

I know this sounds crazy, but I would be in favor of giving Israel parts of the border areas between us and Mexico. This gives them a second home safely away from the threats of the ME, gives us a great southern border ally that we can develop technology with, and you can be sure they would prevent the leaks across the border. It would likely benefit Mexico as well over the long haul. Yes, I know, crazy, but the world is going even more crazy at the moment.

Apparently she thinks the Dircetor of Homeland Security’s job is a PR position. Lying about the condition of the border is all she does.

"...says U.S. communities on the border with Mexico are safer than most Americans believe."

OK, Janet, by measuring safety as relative to something that can't be measured itself (belief), you haven't quantified a thing. Why don't you tell us this about these "U.S. communities on the border", Janet?

If you, Janet, answered no to any of the above, then the AP has wasted seven paragraphs in yet another puff-piece on you. This AP "reporter" ought to be fired.

Anyone have copies of the letters she wrote to Bush begging for help when she was Gov? It be a real fun project to see how long it takes the MSM to pick them up (not).
