Oh no. Now they’ll bring everyone with leprosy to the U. S. for a cure.

The inmate is from Micronesia, and officials believe he contracted the infection there. It can take up to 20 years for signs of the disease to appear.

Awesome. Importing more exotic diseases from foreign countries.

It’s starting to look as though the leftwing progressives have progressed us all the way back around to the Dark Ages. One of those “circle of life” things I guess.

Leprosy isn’t the scourge it used to be, but it’s the idea of bringing sick people here.

Our veterans don’t get the care they deserve. We’re in the business of telling old people we can’t afford them.

And now this outrage.

Maybe after Bermuda is cleaned up by Gonzalo it can be a ebola-leprosy colony

Modern progressivism is just an attempt to rescue “distrust of modernity” from Hitler and Stalin.
