"Illegal aliens are bringing in diseases that had been almost eradicated in America long ago."
True. Not only whooping cough, but resistant strains of TB, polio and other diseases. Sadly, maybe only a pandemic of catastrophic proporations will open the eyes of the politicians in Washington to the illegal immigrant epidemic.
To be fair, I believe some diseases come into this country through our own citizens -- traveling to countries where these diseases are prevalent and not themselves being immunized.
