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.

Yes, one to the south - apparently the leaky border also allows illegally diseased aliens...

We have a Tyson plant in Sedalia, MO, and many of the workers are illegals. Don't ask me why they're still here -- I have no idea.

Many people that have never been out of the US test positive.

And once you test positive you always will. Many health care workers, especially in nursing homes or other live in facilities will test positive but not have TB. All it means is that sometime in their lives they were exposed to the virus. Although these numbers seem high, it is not an unusual situation.

Bingo! Based on what I have seen in areas where there are Tyson plants, it appears that Tyson has a policy of not hiring Americans for any but the most upper management positions.
