ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TUBERCULOSIS CRISIS

The American Lung Association makes the claim it ?wiped out? tuberculosis in the United States. That esteemed public health organization celebrated its 101th birthday in June. However, last fall, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado a cadet tested positive for tuberculosis. He is not alone. In Michigan, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Colorado, Texas and dozens of states around the country, tuberculosis pops up daily at health clinics. It?s a growing crisis suffered by parents of kids in classrooms, work places and food retail outlets. How and why is this disease that was ?extinguished? in the United States by the mid 1990?s back? According to the Center for Disease Control, 14,871 new cases of active TB in the United States ??OCCURRED AMONG PEOPLE BORN ABROAD TO NON-U.S. BORN PARENTS.? What do they have in common? They immigrated to America. Tuberculosis rears its ugly head with the advance of illegal immigrants massing across the United States. How did they get past health officials at the borders? According to U.S. Border Patrol officials, over 4,000 illegal aliens make successful bids to cross America?s borders nightly in Arizona alone. Once inside the U.S., they move into the general population where they spread tuberculosis to American citizens. How many infected illegal aliens breached America?s borders in the past five years? According to a report by Dr. Kevin Patterson in the March issue of Mother Jones News,?Patient Predator,? an estimated 16,000 cases of MDR mycobacterium tuberculosis traveled over U.S. borders from Mexico in the past five years. This new ?multi-drug resistant? TB, at this point, is incurable. Worldwide, tuberculosis kills two million people annually. Let?s connect the dots. On April 24, 2004,?Anatomy of an Outbreak,? the Santa Barbara Press-News carried a story on an illegal alien migrant who infected 56 people. He had to be arrested and confined to stop his spreading the disease. On June 30, 2004, a Chesterfield County, Virginia teen at James River High School tested positive for TB. Another 100 of his classmates had to be tested. On July 2, 2004, a Bradenton, Florida homeless man who had visited homeless shelters may have spread the disease to an unknown number of people. Five cases of TB surfaced at the state prison in Hardeman County, Whiteville, Tennessee. On June 22, 2004, a nursing student tested positive for tuberculosis. In Norwich, Connecticut, a worker from Plas Pak Industries tested positive for TB on June 1, 2004. In Chesapeake, VA, 17 people died from TB in 2003. Last fall, north of Detroit, Michigan, 30 students and four teachers tested positive for TB. Why should Americans be concerned? First, over one million illegal alien children attend K-12 schools across the United States. They are the sons and daughters of parents who escaped disease testing at our nation?s borders. Anyone of them could be among the 16,000 new cases of TB within our borders. What do all illegal aliens have in common? They do not want to be deported so they avoid checking into health clinics. What can you as an American citizen do? Not much singularly. You?re pretty much a victim of this tuberculosis crisis. However, by joining forces with like-minded citizens, you can force Congress to uphold immigration laws, put troops on the borders to stop illegal migration and reduce legal immigration to manageable levels that mandate strict health testing before any immigrant arrives into this country

Once upon a time immigrants were physically checked before allowed into our country.
Guess the globalists think everything should be exchanged, even diseases.

Once upon a time, my now 21 year old niece was tested for TB. She had no outside connections, she was homeschooled, she lived in a ownership only neighborhood (no masses of apartments with illegals or their kids for her to play with).

So as the doctor waited for results, her started to try to find a potential source if she indeed had it. The only source they could think of was her father, my brother. He was in the Navy, and although they were careful, things could slip by the doctors, and he had been abroad, and they told him and his wife that all third world countries are suspect for TB, even in the wealthiest of that countries citizens.

Turned out the first test was a false positive, and she is alright, but what that doctor told them has stuck with me.

We have become a dumping ground for Mexico's and Central America's potentially sick and diseased.

They slip over the border with out being inoculated and then have anchor babies that don`t get inoculated and it just gets carried on through the generations. Undoing all of the years we spent controlling it.

I have never heard the Government show one bit of concern about it.
TB and Polio was a big concern when I was a kid in the 60`s.
