What Do You Think Illegal Immigrants Bring Diseases Into States ?
Question by Untied States Of Latina: What do you think Illegal immigrants bring diseases into States ?
As our nation slowly is overrun by illegal immigrants, we must realize there are not just societal and economic issues, but medical concerns as well.
It has become second nature for people to sit back and make justifications for allowing illegal immigration. However, unless they acknowledge the consequences they are not likely to understand its full implications.
Investor’s Business Daily reported on Aug. 29, that Francisco Santos, an illegal immigrant, was arrested at Gwinnett Medical Center on Aug. 24 when he refused treatment for an active case of contagious tuberculosis and threatened to leave the hospital and return to Mexico.
Santos will get his wish when Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deport him back home to receive medical help there, instead of taxing our services.
Unfortunately, cases like Santos’ are not random occurrences. A tuberculosis outbreak involving 131 immigrants occurred at a South Carolina poultry plant just a few weeks ago.
According to webmd.com, tuberculosis is a highly contagious viral infection spread through air particles by an infected person when he or she sneezes, coughs or spits.
Frontpagemagazine.com reported Aug. 17, “It is estimated that each person infected with TB will infect 10 others.”
This is a huge biological threat to the citizens of the United States. New strains of tuberculosis that are resistant to drug treatment have developed, and research by the Indiana University of Medicine affirmed it was introduced into the United States by Mexican Nationals.

Tuberculosis is the main one. Let’s get that one spreading through the U.S. population. They also will bring other diseases but the antibiotic resistant strain they bring of TB is the worst. Imagine all the free medical we would have to provide the illegals…and when they infect the general population, we will have to take the money for treatment out of our savings or get a loan. Build the fence today.

Yes. You may have a point in the rest of your question, but frankly I stopped at the first paragraph and I assume the rest was just you pointing out diseases.
However, the United States propagates the worst disease on Earth: Apathy.
Yes, some of them bringing disease in United States..
as a legal migrated I’m (we) taking “Medical Examination” before I(we) fly in United states but once I (we) arrived in US Land I (we) may sniffing Undocumented immigrants already somewhere in e.i Restaurant and anywhere. “Poor US citizen and legal immigrants sniffing undocumented illegal immigrants whom maybe carrying contagious diseases”
I’m healthy “Tongue out to viruses”
Yes and there are US citizens who will through legal travel bring diseases into the US. What is your point. What about the guy who flew to Europe to attend a wedding and flew back AFTER he had been told he had TB.
What are you worried about? Are you afraid you are going to die? Well here’s a clue for you. We are ALL going to die.
*BG* Christians don’t worry about it. Sorry you are so concerned.
It is disturbing.
Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul’s campaign has almost 4 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

This is his six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

The NAFTA Superhighway might be another significant threat to American borders.

We are immunized as kids so we don’t get TB, etc…. The illegals aren’t so they get diseases. They spread the diseases to us!
Yes, but that has always been the case, more with third worlds like Mexico now.
During the Great wave of immigration when we were only letting in 900 thousand we check them many were denied entrance. Mexico and other third world ppl weren’t coming.
One their populations wasn’t large and poor ppl didn’t come here. TB and other disease were here.
Most were dealt with and no new cases for many years. Now TB is back and could become a epidemic.
But, as long as the mutli nationals and USA businesses get richer if you or I getting it is just collateral damage.
Yep. I have said this very thing time and time again…and people keep ignoring the FACTS. These people are making the FOODS that you EAT. Sorry, but this is the reason why I make my OWN food.
ok that might be true… but to get a passport to travel you dont have to have medical reports done… so say you have something unknown to you or anyone else and you travel you can give the disease to others unknowingly, so its not just illegal immigrants traveling here… it can be anyone traveling anywhere and pick something up….
You mean just like the diseases that the Europeans brought and killed off the Natives?

Every time you travel outside of the US you have a chance of catching something. Get your shots!
i agree, it is a huge problem/ health concern. i saw on the news one time, that right by the border, home owners find alot of trash that the illegals are leaving behind when they pass through, and they were finding things like needles, and prescription boxes for stds and stuff. so these people are coming into the country and we dont know what they!! its real scary and gross!
