Doesn't help when millions sneak over our southern border.

I know, what I was thinking is they are making it sound like it is from people who are coming here legally, but if they have health checks it leaves only one alternative and that is illegal entry. wouldn't that conclusion be correct.

Its bad enough that illegals dont practice good hygiene, like simply washing their hands with soap and warm water BEFORE FOOD PREPARATION.

But they come into the country illegally, with no medical checkups and could be carrying around lots of different germs and viruses that cause serious illnesses.

ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SNEEZE, and their germs can spread out into the air as far as fifteen feet or more in front and sideways from their faces. Where it lands, nobody knows.

Yes, you are correct, SoSad. So the logical conclusion is these people are illegals.

But look at what happens when people dare to speak up and say so.......LaRaza, etc. going after Lou Dobbs, Glen Beck, and the rest of us who dare to speak out is what happens.

They want to silence us...BEFORE ... too many Americans WAKE UP... and start ACTING!!!!! Let them scream... we can scream too!!!!! Hopefully we, Americans, will keep screaming until we WAKE UP every American to the fact that they are trying to destroy our country!!

Just think Zoe Lofgren (D) of California wants to make 195,000 H-1B visas permanent cap. Do you think they will go home? Do you think they will have a good long look at their health. I doubt it.

Are any of these Washington State Congress members for the Save Act?

Maybe we should send them this article:

Baird is the only WA rep that has co-sponsored the Save Act.

I've faxes this article to all the above and asked, "If legal immigrants must have mandated health checks, why is this happening? IF it is from illegal immigrants why isn't something done about it? Perhaps the Save Act HR 4088 would be one more way to safe guard the American citizen.

The once-"conquered" scourge of tuberculosis has made a terrifying comeback, especially in America's inner cities (the American Lung Association has called TB "out of control"), and drug-resistant TB accounts for more and more new cases. The reason? Record legal and illegal immigration levels. Indeed, the highest numbers of multi-drug-resistant TB cases are in New York, California, Texas and Florida – states with the highest populations of new immigrants.

Leprosy, the contagious skin disease evoking thoughts of biblical and medieval times, is now making its mark in the United States, and many believe the influx of illegal aliens is the main factor.

Avian influenza – or "bird flu" – has caused such concern at the highest level of the U.S. government that in 2005, the Congressional Budget Office reported that a severe pandemic of avian flu hitting the U.S. would kill 2 million Americans and throw the country into a major recession.

Other diseases once virtually unknown in America, like Chagas disease and Dengue fever, are cropping up in southern border areas, while old and much-feared plagues like polio and malaria are also on the upswing.

Compounding all of this, the astronomical number of ILLEGALS swarming into the United States is forcing the closure of dozens of hospitals, spreading previously vanquished diseases and threatening to destroy America's prized health-care system.
