A couple of years back there was a measles outbreak in the US with one of the ‘hot spots’ being near Disneyland. Happens that there are quite a few ‘illegals’ living within the shadows of the park. San Diego is now experiencing a serious Hep A outbreak due to public defecation in it’s downtown area. Again, illegals and homeless. Illegals aren’t just an economic drain but a serious health risk. Virtually none are screened for communicable diseases. The homeless are great political pawns creating lax public hygiene policies to both soothe progressive guilt and generate public spending to solve a created problem. The incident reports will be massaged to generate the desired results/benefits.
If they massage the data, they are creating more health hazards really. I’ve been against government run medicine, especially NIH, since reading Atlas Shrugged. There is an eloquent defense of freedom and doctors in there.
Agreed.
Meanwhile, if like my wife one immigrates here legally, at least in the past, one gets a VERY thorough exam at a US approved hospital, before a Visa is issued.
Then there’s the FBI check on the immigrant, and the rectal job on the US spouse / fiancé / fiancée (oh, I’d better stop here!!! Way OT!!!)
