It has been reported that there are at least FIFTEEN THOUSAND CASES OF TUBERCULOSIS a year in America and at a cost of between TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS EACH TO TREAT!

You do the math, but at an average of 850 thousand dollars each, that 12.750 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!(and American taxpayers are paying the tab...ya reeeeely didn't think any of these illegals have Blue Cross or Blue Shield now did ya.)

Thank you GWB for securing the borders and deporting the illegals!

But.. the labor is sooo cheap.(sarc)
This story only touches the iceberg of what illegal immigrants really costs Americans. Yeah we think the labor is cheap so we can save a few bucks but it is no where near what we really have to pay out as tax payers. It's not only in health care. The greatest rise in Medicaid and other government programs is from foreign born people that are suspected of housing illegal family members.

While I share your concern regarding the rise of communicable diseases due to illegal aliens, I am curious where you heard that it cost between two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand dollars to treat each case.

My understanding was that regular TB treatment runs about $2000 per patient, and only the treatment for rare drug-resistant TB runs significantly higher.

Is the Bilderburg Group really in charge of our country? Why is it that there is apparently a core group of people that want to destroy what we have. Do they truly hate us and America so much? I'm in my late '40's and this isn't the same country I was born in. It isn't even the same country that I became an adult in.

Will you site the percentages of American born versus foreign born?
