I hope it's not a resistant strain.

Health workers say it is -possible- some of the 41 workers who have tested positive were exposed years ago from unrelated cases, and did not get tested until now.

I can't even imagine them saying this unless the majority of these folks are from a 3d-world country.

"How many were illegal aliens?"

Probably most of them. Do you think Tyson Foods will be prosecuted for hiring illegals? I don't. And there is the problem. Without prosecution of employers AND better border enforcement, there is absolutely no incentive for employers not to hire illegals.

So they keep hiring them. They work cheap, they work hard, and they don't demand stuff. If you were Tyson Foods, you'd hire them too. No penalty for it.

Illegals - yep, ANOTHER reason to close the borders and fine businesses who use illegal alien labor.

Some very large corporations, particularly in the food products arena, are some incredibly hugh Pieces of $-it.

What is quite evident to me is that the folks who sit on the boards of these corporations have tremendous power over congress and the executive branch. Remember Vernon Jordan, Clinton's golf buddy and Lewinski employment agent? Well, he's on the board for Sara Lee. The Tyson gig goes without saying. These people pay a pretty dime to lobby our politicians to unsecure our borders and to obscure the landscape with contradictory policies and goals.

Oh, Tyson Foods has donated to Bush, too. They're an equal opportunity donator.

They're also fighting the unions. Interesting.

Many illegals are bringing TB back into the country, along with other diseases the public thinks have been eradicated. When the borders were closed, there was an attempt to quarantine them. Now we're compassionate and becoming more consumptive.
