Yes, very much so - especially the new strain of medically resistant TB that is specifically coming up from Mexico and the Central American countries as they immigrate illegally. If they were going through the legal procedures, the ones with diseases could be screened out. This is a very REAL threat to our citizens and the future generations.

You're right, that is a bio-hazard, but I'm more worried about people with NO school, NO respect for our laws, and NO money being turned loose on the streets of america en masse.
My cynical side says this is another big '**** you' to the american public by this Congress/administration. They care not what the voters have to say...

Yes-Daisy and Go Cart said it well.
We need to screen all here for everyone's protection. I wish there was a way to do that-without illegals being afraid to do so.

And you are correct. Feces is a great transmitter of many diseases. In addition, without being checked by the health department, resistant strains of TB are now in the U.S. Another aspect of illegal immigration.

Hey, Daisy and Gokart said it all. Diseases are spread and yes it will affect the general public in the long run. That is why we have a screening process that should be followed, yet, our government ignores..

Illegal Immigration and Public Health
Because illegal immigrants, unlike those who are legally admitted for permanent residence, undergo no medical screening to assure that they are not bearing contagious diseases, the rapidly swelling population of illegal aliens in our country has also set off a resurgence of contagious diseases that had been totally or nearly eradicated by our public health system.

The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Arizonans:
Executive Summary
Analysis of the latest Census data indicates that Arizona’s illegal immigrant population is costing the state’s taxpayers about $1.3 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated tax contributions of illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to about $1.3 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden borne by Arizonans amounts to more than $700 per household headed by a native-born resident.
This analysis looks specifically at the costs of education, health care and incarceration because they represent the largest cost areas and because a 1994 study conducted by the Urban Institute, which also examined these same costs, provides a useful baseline for comparison ten years later. Other studies have been conducted in the interim, showing trends that support the conclusions of this report.
As this report will note, other significant costs associated with illegal immigration exist and should be taken into account by federal and state officials. But even without accounting for all of the multitude of areas in which costs are being incurred by Arizona taxpayers, the programs analyzed in this study indicate that the burden is substantial and that the costs are rapidly increasing.
The $1.3 billion in costs incurred by Arizona taxpayers is comprised of outlays in the following areas:
Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.
Health Care. Uncom-pensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population is now estimated at about $400 million a year.
Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
The unauthorized immigrant population pays some state and local taxes that go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments might generously be estimated at $257 million per year.
The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost items. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state’s taxpayers would be considerably higher if other costs such as special English instruction, school nutrition programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.
