Free Tade is now killing American

[Mr. Mojo]

If the U.S. doesn't (soon) close our borders to all immigration (both legal and illegal) for a period of at least 20-30 years to allow the necessary time for the 3rd worlders already here to assimilate and become Americanized, the U.S. will die a pathetic death.

FDA bans scallions linked to hepatitis A outbreak 11/20/2003 8:28 PM By: Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Mexican scallions from companies linked to outbreaks of hepatitis A are getting held at the U.S. border.>P? The Food and Drug Administration said investigators implicated raw green onions from three firms.

It said products from those companies are being held for investigation.

The liver infections occurred in Tennessee and Georgia last September.

FDA also said it is looking into the source of the latest outbreak of hepatitis A, the largest known in U.S. history.

It left three dead and sickened more than 540 people who'd eaten at a now-closed Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant in western Pennsylvania

Tainted food products are also produced domestically.

[dasboot]

Sorry, no comprende UN treaties viv- a- vis immigration and free trade. You mean WTO?

[Libertarianize the GOP]

[SouthernFreebird]

I second that.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

"Diversity" is worth the disease and death.

[FrogMom]

I think that if the un-PC crowd are ever in control, we'll find out that this outbreak had nothing to do with green onions.

[Frank_2001]

Exactly! It's the illegal immigrants who are HANDLING the green onions, right after doing #2 and running past the sink....biased media will never say that though...

[dougherty]

Absolutely disgusting. After reading this, I don't want to eat out for a long time. On the other hand, it's not difficult to catch TB just standing near someone infected in a store, etc. The problems caused by these illegals seem to be endless.

[LouD]

The article isn't about free trade. The article is about immigration.

One of the arguments advanced for free trade is that in the long term it will reduce immigration, since workers will no longer chase jobs across international borders.

Thus, free trade reduces the problem of diseases brought to this country my immigrants that is discussed in the article.

I believe in enforcing fair trade with our trading partners, and I believe on sensible limitations to immigration - But I fail to see the relevance of your argument here.
