If your child came home from school with TB or Leprosy would your stand on illegal immigration change?
Legal immigrants have health checks to come here, illegals don't...........
TB outbreaks afflicted schoolteachers and children in Michigan & Texas. The teachers and kids caught it at school from coughing children of Illegal Aliens. In Minnesota, policemen suddenly came down with MDR-TB. The cops caught it in their patrol cars when they arrested Illegal Aliens who coughed in their faces. Recently TB erupted in Portland, Maine, and Del Ray Beach, Florida.
The Queens, New York, health department attributed 81% of new TB cases in 2001 to immigrants.Apparently 66% of all TB cases coming to America originate in Mexico, the Philippines, and Viet Nam.
Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states. There are leprosy clinics in New York City. Illegal Aliens & other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean & Mexico.
