Too bad they don't ship most of their vermin back to their homes every Friday.

They ship most of their paychecks back home every Friday, is that any good?

Couldn't have a thing to do with huge numbers of people from Third World countries moving here....no way no how.

What about the very recent malaria outbreak in Florida? It's on its way.

I'm happy about that one too. Beaches are too damned croweded.

Bump for this amazing article which should be a thread of it's own.

Only bedbug I've ever seen was in a fairly expensive hotel room. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

I did a search and it already is.

This is no joke. A friend of mine was renting a small house to whom he thought was a Mexican man and his wife and kid in Boyes Springs Calif. The rent was payed each month so my friend figured all was good with no complaints from the renter. When the mexican guy moved out the house was bug infested. It turned out 7 or 8 people were living in the house. Roaches were literaly raining from the ceilings and the place had scabbies or bed bugs or some kind of critters. The pest control guy ( who was American Mexican himself) said there was a swath of houses that that ran for a few miles that were in the same shape. He said you just had to follow where the mexicans were renting and overcrowding the houses to find this bug infestation. He said to many bodies plus showers, plus so much food in the house was a breeding ground for bugs especially roaches. When you report this kind of health threat to the county of Sonoma, they act as though your being racist. On my block I have counted 40 cars where the occupants were all staying in a four apartment complex ( where each apartment had two bedrooms).

Ah, the joys and benefits of multiculturalism.

Control data from the 1900-1960, she would have noticed that her theory was way off the mark because cancer rates started to skyrocket in direct correlation to a surge of tobacco use.

Not to mention a surge in oncologists.
