Diseases from our illegal immigrants are going to hit us big time, down the road. Thanks to our open border zealot idiots, Pandora's box has been opened. It will take a few years before we see the horrific effect of just the the TB problem, as it takes awhile to infect each person with symptoms. BTW, drug resistent TB has a 60% mortality rate!!!

Some of the diseases they are bringing:

Chagas disease, also called American trypanosomiasis or "kissing bug disease," is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and face. The protozoan parasite that it carries, Trypanosoma cruzi, infects 18 million people annually in Latin America and causes 50,000 deaths. The disease also infiltrates America's blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. No cure exists. Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.
Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.
Dengue fever is exceptionally rare in America, though common in Ecuador, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Mexico. Recently, according to the report, there was a virulent outbreak of dengue fever in Webb County, Texas, which borders Mexico. Though dengue is usually not a fatal disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever routinely kills.
Polio was eradicated from America, but now reappears in illegal immigrants as do intestinal parasites, says the report.
Malaria was obliterated, but now is re-emerging in Texas.

my wife is a nurse in Spokane. She came home today and said that the nurses were fitted for TB masks. They were told to keep all the info to themselves. The person fitting the masks said that we are near epidemic stage for TB nationwide.

Could tell you more stories that would make you very fearful... and this is in Spokane, where illegal immigration is minimal.

BTTT

Everyone should read this, and don't forget to send it to the "leaders" in Washington and in the individual states, whether they care or not.

Let them know that we know they're sitting around allowing this invasion of disease, poverty, ignorance and dependence to continue.
