In the presidential debate last Monday Donald Trump warned America that she's "become a third-world country" to the guffaws and disdain of the liberals, the media (but I repeat myself) and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who later accused Trump of talking smack about the country she wants to loot, er, lead.
One must ask, is Trump correct or do we continue to occupy the apex of the first world? Is there evidence to support Mr. Trump's claim?
Let me offer exhibit A.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Two years after the University of Missouri closed the state’s lone hospital for treating tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, state health officials are looking at opening a new facility.The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is seeking bids for a study that could provide officials with a roadmap for opening a new treatment center to replace the current process of sending patients to other states.
It comes amid a nationwide increase in the number of people contracting the airborne bacterial disease that attacks the lungs.
According to the request, Missouri has averaged 90 active tuberculosis cases in each of the past three years
Missouri has been more fortunate than many other states in this regard. Why? Because Missouri a series of strict laws against illegal alien encroachment, going back to 2007.

All you have to do is look at our “elections” to see that Trump is right. America has become the Mother of all Third Worlds.
Liberals call this, evening the playing field.
Results of the corrupt centralized banking system. Its all about them controling the wealth.
All you have to do is look at Brazil to see what a third world country we have become.
It was inevitable when we were importing poverty.
Thank you Bush family.
All one has to do is look at the glittering skylines, and beautiful cities in the Middle East and compare that to NYC. Our cities are decaying, dirty, full of homeless drug addicts. Detroit in “Robocop” is closer to Americas post card, than Hong Kong is. We used to be a shining city on a hill, we are no longer that and it is sad.
Compare Singapore to any US city. America is dying.
Don't forget the Kennedys:
Could we strive to be a Second World Country, if we tried really hard?
THIRD WORLD
Actually thank you Teddy Kennedy and the OCngress.
If America is a Third World dump, it's because non-Hispanic white people made it that way.
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
well, the Democratic party has been in charge of education for decades and they have produced a whole lotta ignorance.
And don't forget Ronald Reagan and the Reagan Amnesty of 1986.
I believe the original estimate was that 1 million illegal immigrants would apply.
From memory, the number is now close to 4 million, and immigrants from that era can still apply, 30 years later, even if they haven't lived in the USA for decades!
