This post is typical of losing sense of proportion. TB, resistant or not, kills 990 people every year in US. Smoking realted deaths in US number over 440,000.

It will be 6000 more years for TB to catch up with smoking deaths. When you lose sense of proportion, you are no longer relevant.

Now that does not mean we should have open borders. But there are much more important reasons for stemming the flow of illegals than TB.

Stopping smoking?

I'm going to file this under D...for duh.

Of course there are other and better reasons...this is just one more. ONLY 990 deaths a year? Not insignificant if your mother is one, yes? Or not insignificant if it is, as some say, a NEW and more VIRULENT strain. Then the number might reach...oh...3,000 dead. Significant? 3,000 dead innocents because of a foreign invasion? Sound familiar? Tell me, professor...can you make a brick wall without bricks? No? Which will one you put into place before others might notice and say "Oh, look! There is a brick wall!"
