Didn't everyone else's ancesters have to be de-loused, vaccinated before entering the country. Illegals are just coming in when they want with no rules about this. (like they would follow them anyway.) Why is the government not concerned about this issue?

Disease? How about we worry about them being murderers, rapists, drug dealers, terrorists before we worry about disease that we would already have here anyway.

The CDC is very worried.The legal immigrant must pass a Aid/HIV test along with tests for contagious diseases.
There are 7000 cases of Leprosy in this country to date.That disease was eradicated a long time ago except in 3rd world country's.The new antibiotics resistant strain of TB is at an all time high in the US.Its source has been traced to illegals coming across the southern border.
You can contract TB from someone coughing near you that is a carrier.Its a huge health problem and Washington is aware but they care more about votes than Americans health.
From link
If a border patrol sentry catches a healthy Illegal Alien he might be sent back home immediately. However, if we catch and detain a sick Illegal Alien, who after examination by physicians in a detention center proves to have a serious disease, we keep him! Foolish compassion makes us fear that his home country has neither adequate medical resources nor modern wonder drugs. So we release sick Illegal Aliens to the American streets, to infect others if their diseases are contagious, or we place them in our Medicaid program where we pay for their expensive treatments.
TB’s swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60% of those infected. The culprit is the new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB).[11] Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico

Disease is a big issue with illegal immigration. They are bringing in many serious diseases, unchecked. Some of those diseases are incurable. Some were once eradicated from the USA but are showing up in states that border Mexico. They bring in TB, Hepatitus, Malaria, Chagas Disease, Polio.. check out this website:

Terrorists are buying so-called “weapons grade” strains of disease organisms for bio-warfare. America risks devastation by evil intent of a terrorist or by innocent accident of an infected Illegal Alien walking through our foolishly open Golden Door.
Illegal immigrants are living, breathing, walking, talking "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

Cause those in power want a poor dirty slave class and a rich ruling class. Rich and poor don't mingle so what's the issue?
The assault is on the Middle Class.

You hit on a very important issue! There are sooo many reasons to stop the flow and deport that the weak reasons to let them stay are a joke! A very bad joke!

Because it is not an issue. We need to be more concerned with obesity in children.
What disease(s) specifically are you referring to? And where did you get your statistics? The only "disease" I see in many illegal immigrants is an eagerness to work long and hard hours.

Why isn't everyone worried about the rate of functional illiteracy in this country. It is people like you that cause me to have serious concerns about the future of education in this country.

'cause the CDC is busy enough with spread of cooties among the Americans
Besides, it is up to the Americans to keep their knees together so "illegals" don't give them diseases
