WE NEED COMPLETE IMMIGRATION REFORM. I feel that we are not only at risk for terrorism we are also at risk of disease... but these people feel that they have no other choice but to jump that border.......And in truth what other options have been given to them?
Bureaucratic Monster IMMIGRATION
As I have mentioned many times before. ICE.... INS.... whatever they call themselves these days needs to be completely torn down and edified with specific departments with specific job details... They must be held accountable for their work ethics. You for example as a law abiding citizen (hopefully) do not have racist reasons for reporting someone does not even know who to report them too.... This bureaucratic monster of a department does not serve the Public in its work... nor does it serve its purpose in granting work permits for those who have applied.... what good are they? They have the attitude that I will get to them when I get to them not just to the people who they are supposed to serve .... But to the USA citizen who in essence supplies them with that paycheck that they do not earn..... Heads up...... Rebuild this monster of a department while building this wall across the border.

I think that it is a definite. Anytime you are not giving health screens to people that enter the country, you run the risk of the individual having a certain disease. Consider TB, which everyone should get tested for. In some places around the border, it is required, especially if you have travelled to certain high risk countries or have family from those countries visting you. Often TB is undetectable for quite some time,especially if you are not aware of the symptoms of the disease. Take migrant field workers in example. They have already lived a hard life with possibly poor medical care in their home countries. Working in the fields(and often in subhuman conditions) will cause extra wear and tear on their bodies. Do you think that someone like this will regard body aches, night sweats, weight loss, or a persistant cough with suspicion? Or will they think it comes with being poor and having a hard life?

Well i'm not saying " Mexicans" in general, But that is why there are very strict medical tests and examinations.
You may have all heard of the " bird flu" which kills you if you contract it, People from indonesia have to go under examination so that they are not bringing these kind of things in.
Same as when you leave to go somehwere, you have injections to prevent picking up a virus, etc that you can't bring back it back into the country, Yes there is always a risk when someone is enetering a country illegally, with items that there could be diseases bought in, No doubt about that , It's common sense.

The medical community has repeatedly said illegal immigrants are bringing diseases back into our country...diseases we had conquered decades ago...particularly Whooping cough, measles, mumps & TB. The bad thing about this is the diseases have mutated over the years in these third world countries and are now mostly drug resistant! So much for cancer studies if we have to revisit these diseases again.....

Mexico's got 110...scratch that, 106 million people left in it, they kind of need better healthcare than what they have now. The mystery is, reinforced adobe makes a GREAT building material, and you could slap together hospitals pretty cheaply if you used it, so why isn't it being done, where are all the hospitals for all the Mexican citizens?
Adobe is pretty much just improved clay, then you like, build a frame in it, and stuff, and put a good roof on it, and other anti-earthquake provisions, and Bingo! You have a temperature-stable structure, you can even go multi-floor if you want, but point is, you could get all busy building schools, hospitals, jails, whatever else Mexico needs for infrastructure there, and not even spend a lot of money doing it, implying that basically, they've got the money to do all this crap, but instead have chosen to make a career out of leeching off the United States.
Building the border fence will help Mexico recognize its' own priorities, sans the 'easy out' that our country has been for them for years and years and years, now. But, sometimes you gotta dump a drunk squarely on his butt and let him sleep it off in his own puke for him to square himself around and clean up. Mexico, for all intents and purposes, is our ne'er-do-well drunken cousin that's gotten pretty much in the habit of 'borrowing' whatever he needs from us, no questions asked. Well, now the questions ARE being asked, and as we dump billions of good money after bad trying to fix Mexico, and watch as more and more of their people strike out for the 'el norte' every year 'cause it's still just not working, well it's kind of proof that it's time to try something else, here. I think the fence is going to be good, get more americans out there 'doing the jobs that americans won't do', and helping Mexico to 'do the jobs that Mexico won't do', like building those hospitals they need, f'rinstance. Maybe, when they get themselves on track, there'll be more support for helping em later on, but not until they at least make an honest independent start of it. Having our hospitals shut down to compensate for their collective national dysfunction is simply unacceptable, and pathetic, and makes us look pretty gullible, nationally.
I like Mexican people, most seem to be fairly decent, and upstanding, but there's still issues that need to be resolved. The border fence will give everyone an opportunity to look at stuff differently, and maybe come up with some better answers...

I'm not sure they will bring any funky unknown things to us, however I do seem them putting a major hurting on our already over extended health care programs. They don't pay for anything except big expensive vehicles.....we all know they don't and won't pay a doctor. Plus, they sleep in houses sometimes 20 at a time. Flu would spread pretty fast like that.

I guess then we should all just stay in our own little areas and not travel anywhere. Hell why should we leave our house. There are germs and viruses and whatever EVERYWHERE. Not just a Mexican can bring disease to the US. Anyone can take disease anywhere.
And what difference would it make if they were illegal or legal? So will the proper visa and work permit serve as an immunization to disease?.
You're questions seems a little unresearched and biased.
Sorry

There is really no way for us to know what diseases they might bring in if they come here illegally without getting checked. Yes, they are putting others at risk.
