Thread: Illegal aliens threaten U.S. medical system

According to The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons on health threats from illegals include, according to the report:

1. Chagas disease, also called American trypanosomiasis or "kissing bug disease," is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and the face. The protozoan parasite that it carries, Trypanosoma cruzi, infects 18 million people annually in Latin America and caused 50,000 deaths. The disease also infiltrates America's blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. No cure exists. Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.

2. Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states because illegal aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.

3. Dengue fever is exceptionally rare in America, though common in Ecuador, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Mexico. Recently, according to the report, there was a violent outbreak of Dengue fever in Webb County, Texas, which borders Mexico. Though dengue is usually not a fatal disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever routinely kills.

4. Polio was eradicated from America, but now reappears in illegal immigrants as do intestinal parasites, says the report.

5. Malaria was obliterated, but now is re-emerging in Texas.

The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons report includes a strong prescription for protecting the health of Americans:

* Closing America's borders with fences, high-tech security devices and troops.

* Rescinding the U.S. citizenship of "anchor babies."

* Punishing the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens as a crime.

* An end to amnesty programs.

Now for the bad news: this report was posted on March 13, 2005.

Now for the really bad news: your representatives in government have known this for years.

p.s. the vast majority of the millions of uninsured in this country are both legal and illegal aliens; and are depending, no, demanding, that WE pay all of their medical expenses. don't you wish you could have put some of that money away for your retirement or your kid's college tuiton?

could that be why Obama is pushing healthcare for these immigrants that expect to have their bills paid by American taxpayers "generosity."

p.s.s. oh yes. tuberculosis (some of it antibiotic resistant) is making a big comeback thanks to illegals. remember the old films showing Ellis Island immigration officers checking everybody for lice and TB. well, we don't do that anymore.

If we screen legal aliens for contagious diseases, why are we allowing unscreened and contagious illegal aliens to roam the country infecting the citizenry?

please enforce our immigration laws.
