"Immigration and Disease: It's Enough to Make You Sick

Yes, and if the hemispheric free trade act is implemented we can probably expect closer to 200,000,000.

Recently a high school here in Lexington, KY reported that a student tested positive for Tuberculosis and others at the school were being tested. I noticed that no mention of the student's race or origins or even any theory on how the disease was contracted were ever mentioned. The story disappeared very quickly too, much more quickly than when other serious illnesses have been reported in local schools.

We all definitely have a handle on what the problem is.
There was a thread, the location and name of which I forgot...grrrr...that said basically at what point do you cross the line when the laws are inadequate or plainly causing the destruction of the country, and become revolutionaries as the Founders were.
All I know is everyone here states the truth about uncontrolled immigration. From them wanting to take over half of our country; the disease they spread; they are sucking us dry; they are destroying our national and cultural identity; many are trying to outright destroy us.
All it takes for evil to triumph (and America to be brought down by Islamifascists and the cultural Invation of vermin) is for good men to do nothing. How many great men have we here?!

Health investigators are looking into whether contaminated produce--perhaps scallions from Mexico--may have caused the outbreak at the Chi Chi's restaurant in the Beaver Valley Mall, about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Just one of the many "benefits" of open borders, "free trade" and NAFTA.

Death, coming soon to a restaurant near you!

I know some hispanic Americans whose kids had to be put on hard TB medicines because a kid from Mexico with TB exposed their entire school to the disease. An entire school with hundreds of kids --- and those medicines are too strong for growing bodies.

There are lots of diseases, bacteria, viruses, etc in the third world. Letting in 50,000 foreign immigrants(nearly all of whom now are NOT from western Europe) each and every week who were exposed to those germs, and who also dont have our customs of hygenics and santization, will certainly increase the variety, volume, and casualties of diseases in the United States - even those diseases that have almost become extinct in the United States.

If you want to let in 50,000 more immigrants each and every week, then increased disease is just one of the prices you have to pay for the benefits of increasing our population so fast.

Have you talked to any/many of them? Most of them(mostly urban asians are our current immigrants ) dont like our old American idea of "The Right to Bear Arms" either, and when they get their citizenship, when they become a significant voting bloc, they will vote to eliminate it.

[fella]

If I remember correctly our current immigration policy was set in place by JFK and that makes it a political third-rail that cannot be touched.

[waterstraat]

One of the arguments advanced for free trade is that in the long term it will reduce immigration

Free traders also promised us that free trade, NAFTA, etc will give american citizens millions more good jobs in america, with thousands of new factories being built here.

Does anyone still believe anything any "free trader" says?

[waterstraat]

I dont think so, I think our current immigation policy was set in the 1970's, and increasingly lets in urban asian and african foreigners now( instead of the old policy of mostly western european foreigners under JFK).

It is a third rail, however, with democrats, republicans, and Libertarians, all wanting to flood and over populate our highways, schools, and hospitals with as many hoards of asian people as they can bring in. Checking immgrants for disease and criminal records are a thing of the past, it just cant be done if you want to let in 50,000 foreigners per week. Not doing disease or criminal checks is a small price to pay in order to get the benefits of letting in 50,000 foreigners each week.

[sixmil]

Yes, sarcastic. These immigration policies and lack of enforcement are so ridiculous, it is hard to take this issue seriously anymore. Frustrating.

[kimmie7]

You think illegals get a physical before 'jumping the fence'?

Is is a figment of my imagination, or weren't immigrants quarantined for a while at some point in our history? (See tag line...)

[Klickitat]

"Does anyone still believe anything any "free trader" says?"

Never have never will. Anyone who reads the debates by the founders knows trade and it's regulation was of primary concern. These free trader globalists are advocating a worldwide government whether they are aware of that fact or not. Societies require some form of regulation that is the base idea underlying the word. Without regulation you have anarchy. The founders never supported anarchy. Those who say business should have no requirement for regulation, or that business should not factor the needs of society into the equation, are anarchists in my book. And anarchy by it's nature leads to totalitarianism.

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.

We've made it a habit to eat out only when it's absoulutely necessary. Most all the restaurants only want to hire the cheap labor, those that have not had their proper shots and medical screening. Gag. No thanks....

Illegal immigration is more harmful than smoking. Yet, our politicans do everything they can to encourage it. Absolute madness!
