The War on Terror has become the "War to bring Terror to America"

Insane Senators laugh at their cruel, vicious imposition of the "Infectious Hepatitis, Incurable Tuberculosis
and Morgellons disease, Typhoid, Cholera, Plague, Measles, Mumps, Leprosy,
Dengue fever, and Polio Importation Act of 2007" on the previously disease-free American public.

* T.B. was virtually absent in Virginia until in 2002.

* Washington, D.C., T.B. had a meteoric rise of 188 percent ... traced to illegal aliens from Mexico.

230.1The Queens, New York, Health Department attributed 81 percent
of new T.B. cases in 2001 to immigrants, with 42 percent of all new T.B. cases ascribed to the foreign born.

* T.B. outbreaks afflicted schoolteachers and children in Michigan and adults and kids in Texas.
The teachers and kids caught it at school from the coughing children of illegal aliens.

* In Minnesota, the police suddenly came down with M.D.R.-T.B.
The cops caught it in their patrol cars when they arrested illegal aliens
who coughed in their faces.

* T.B. erupted in Portland, Maine, and DelRay Beach, Florida, directly traced to illegals.

Ironically, Kennedy is co-sponsoring the “Comprehensive TB Elimination Act of 2007.” What’s wrong with this picture?

You're the master of "picture says a thousand words".

INSANE bump! These nut jobs really are INSANE, and have no business being in charge of anything.

I thought a rise in U.S. TB rates might be the case.

When my wife went through immigration screening 10 years ago, the State Dept. was very concerned about TB infection. You had to have a chest X-ray and be cleared by a U.S.-approved hospital (this was in Saigon, and clearance was required from Chau Rai Hospital, which at the time was the best in all of Vietnam).

If you did not pass the TB screening you had to get clearance from a physician stating that you were under his care and undergoing the medical regime for TB.

That wasn't the only test, there were others for STDs as well as a general medical history and checkup, plus more that I can't recall. The checks were rather costly time consuming. Vaccinations for polio, MMR, rotavuirus, Hep A, Hep B, Meningococcal, varicella, flu, etc.

I won't describe the home country financial, criminal, and banking releases, that's another topic.

Americans don't seem to "get it", that the diseases we rarely see or thing about are almost rampant in Third World and developing countries including Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Salvador.

Diseases that I have personally seen abroad (picked up by American tourists and acquaintances and friends) include chronic malaria, cerebral meningitis, dengue fever, enchepalitis, hepatitis A, and rabies.

Our Z visa "guest worker" illegals will be checked and immunized for NOTHING. ZERO.
