DEADLY DISEASES MIGRATING INTO AMERICA WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa supports while encouraging over two million illegal aliens in the City of Angels. He’s not too happy, however, about the 20,000 Mexican and Central American gang-bangers wreaking havoc in his streets where cops fear to tread. L.A. jails bursting with convicted alien felons thrills him not one peso! Bankrupting hospitals and failing schools illustrate his incompetence.

In fact, everything in L.A. reflects Mexico City’s culture: crime, drugs, rapes, drunken driving accidents, drive-by shootings, schools in disarray, hospitals collapsing and prisons bursting at the bars.

This week, he proudly announced another first: Latin American scourge turning up in U.S. immigrants. In L.A., the nation's first clinic opens to treat deadly insect-borne Chagas disease. As little as ten years ago, no one ever heard of Chagas disease in the United States.

Los Angeles journalist Mary Engel reported, “[b]A Los Angeles County hospital has opened the first clinic in the country devoted to studying and treating Chagas disease, a deadly parasitic illness that has long been the leading cause of heart failure in Latin America and is now being seen in (illegal) migrant communities in the United States.â€

I don't think it is only the categorized diseases like TB or Chagas. How do we know that the respiratory viruses in the US are the same as those in Asia, Latin America or elsewhere? They may produce similar symptoms but perhaps be different. Therefore built-up immunity to US based viruses may not safeguard against similar viruses from another part of the world.

Does this make sense? I know that with a microscope viruses can be identified--so places like CDC should be able to make a positive identification. Yet what about mutations? It seems like the "flu virus" acquires new mutations rather frequently. How about other viruses? I know around here there has been an unusual, long lasting cough during the last two years. It seemed to be a new affliction at least to the people I knew.

Frosty has such an eloquent writing style. He makes me think of things I would not have, and puts my thought into words in a way that I can't. He seems to call it right almost everytime.

I am also a great fan of Frosty.

About the diseases, they also bring us Leprosy.

Agreed. Frosty is a guest on Coast to Coast once in a while. The man is smart!
