This week on ‘Rachel Ray’ they had a segment about the increase in whooping cough.....and wondered why it has increased SO much in the last 7 years....no, not one word about immigration and the ‘global economy’. We’ve had many articles on FR in the past about that and other diseases we had eradicated being reintroduced.

Whooping cough outbreak linked to illegals
Doctors warn of worst spread of pertussis in 40 years

[snip]A rise in diseases such as whooping cough, tuberculosis, malaria, measles and even leprosy are creating public health concerns and have hit hospitals and health care systems already financially burdened by indigent illegals flooding emergency rooms and urgent care centers.

Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, is one of those professionals who has linked the increase in diseases with illegal immigration.

“Certain diseases that we thought we had vanquished years ago are coming back, and other diseases that we’ve never seen or rarely seen in America, because they’ve always been the diseases of poverty and the third world, are coming in now,” she said.
