How many ppl have heard about the return of deadly diseases caused by illegals in America?

Question

I hope the question comes across clearly, if not. Last night on channel 34Fox News I watched a segment where the head of legal immigration made an announcement of the return of Measles, Mumps, and TB, in America. The rise in the numbers of these diseases is directly attributed to the illegal population in America. They reported that the mumps disease has already spread beyond five states, and the vaccine that we have doesn't work on it. Measles has reared it's ugly head in schools from elementary to college. In America both of these diseases were almost wiped out, but now we are seeing a rapid return. The two cases of TB were discovered in CA. and is also expected to spread like the other two diseases. Did anyone else hear about this, and if so what do you think about it?

Answer 1

Yes .I have and high on that list are other air born/close contact diseases too.Unfortunately a lot of countries don't have the inoculation requirements we do here in the USA. And they have cultural differences that prevent education of the need and benefits.Some do not have the money or resources to initiate this program. Its a serious problem ,and I wish I knew an immediate solution

Answer 2

Yes, that is true, and I've been saying it until I'm blue in the face ... legal immigrants are always screened medically for contagious diseases ... illegals are of course not screened by anybody for anything ... it is a fact that contagious diseases are up in the border States, no matter what you think about legal vs. illegal immigration ... we have illegal people working in restaurants and hospitals ... we don't know what diseases they carry and spread ... next time you're served in a restaurant you can't be sure your food hasn't been prepared by someone who's been hacking up TB all over your plate ... you just don't KNOW!! And again, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with racism ... it's an alienable fact ...

Answer 3

All these sicknesses have been around since eternity, even in america.

back in the 50s my husbands cousins both contracted measles as young children and ended up retarded from it.

TB can just as easily be contracted from vacationing in europe and other foreign countries by legal americans as it can be brought in by illegals.

There is no "return" of these illnesses, they have always been here. Although there is a rise in their spread due to lack of control at the time of immigration.

Honestly, this problem with immigration started back when ellis island and other ports for immigrants were shut down by the government. The system that had been working well since its implementation had been changed, and now we have this on going problem. It should have been delt with in its infancy.

These people come here searching for a better life, theyre programmed to steal and fight for anything they get, its not their fault completely.

The government should have been providing them a way to easily gain legal entrace to this country decades ago.

It's not true. Diseases we had thought were eradicated still pop up from time to time. There's a state park in Arizona right now closed because the mice there have bubonic plague.

Our country is not an exception to simple rules of bacterial and viral spread. You can fight them when they pop up, but can't kill all of them in the country. Many people have TB, but no symptoms, they can give it to someone whose immune system is not up to par, they transmit larger amounts to more people, and BAM! We have a TB outbreak.

FoxNews has an interest in getting people riled up against illegal immigration. Most people don't care, so they invented a problem.

Answer 5

Disease is not just spread by immigrants. Much of the Chinese import goods is covered with all manner of bacteria.

Many people working in Chinese factory's do no have bathrooms or a way to wash their hands. Items like lipstick has been tested positive for human waste.

Answer 6

I think its propoganda directed at easily influenced tv watchers to further support those against immigrants who are in America without correct papework. It's strange how this is coming out at the exact time of the immigration debate when illegals have been in America for generations. Where were all the outbreaks then?

Answer 7

I am not surprised. People would freak if they knew how much taxpayer money supports illegals. A lot of people think illegals help this country. Not true at all. They are a huge drain on our economy. Illegals are getting free medical care while hard-working Americans go without. A lot of them are in our jails being taxpayer supported. I could go on and on, but until people open their eyes and realize how serious this issue is, nothing will happen.

Answer 8

dont forget about leprosy and others...aids hasnt even been investigated, thanks to our liberal policy of not being able to ask any questions or detain illegal aliens...
and i think youve forgotten about food handling spread diseases like e coli and others that come from unhygienic practices in the third world countries these people come from...

as for keeping prices low...i havent heard of any illegals that are working below min wage...in fact all of the ones i personally know about are working and getting about 20 bucks an hour...plus their g.f's or wives sit in the welfare office all day and collect benefits from the gov't....
what are they going to do if they get caught..deport them..???

it osts the american taxpayer approx 55,000 dollars for every illegal alien in this country between jails, gov't benefits they scam, housing, medical, and non payment of taxes
this doesnt include personal losses due to no insurance when they get into accidents without insurance or drivers liscense...

Answer 9

Yes there has been a rise in TB along the southern border. Along with other diseases

Answer 10

That is what happens when you have people coming here illegally and do not have their background checked and cleared (major threat to national security) and their health and medical background checked. The only solution is deport these criminals and put up a wall along the border and have it patrolled with armed US troops.

DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS
