Barely. I saw an article a couple of days ago where some town in Massachusetts had made it a condition of granting a restaurant license that the businesses agree not to hire illegal immigrants. Apparently public health officials are seeing a sharp uptick in drug resistant tuburculosis and didn't think it was appropriate for people with this infectious disease to be handling food.
It makes me think twice before I eat in a restaurant with Hispanic workers!
At least Massachusetts does something right on occasion.
I wish the media (coughFOXNEWScough) would latch onto this story. The US had all but eradicated TB and now it's coming back. Now it makes me wonder...how many other stories aren't being fully reported because they'd be blasted as racist?
I've got too many questions and no answers.
I think you must have seen an article similar to this:
