Illegal aliens from our border with Mexico are DIRECTLY responsible for bringing disease into the USA that had once been eradicated. Many are dangerous, deadly with NO CURE. Malaria, Chagas disease, Morgellons disease, Hepatitis, and more. Yet, we must take precautions against many of those same diseases when traveling to other countries, ..?

The American Red Cross estimates that nationally, the risk of a blood donor having antibodies to Chagas or being infected with the disease is 1 in 25,000. The risk is 1 in 5,400 in Los Angeles and 1 in 9,000 in Miami. The Red Cross says it will begin screening donors for Chagas, once a suitable test is found.
Blood supply at risk
"An estimated 15 million South Americans [plus Mexicans and Central Americans] are suffering from Chagas," said Dr. Arthur C. Aufderheide of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine.
More reason to close our borders and deport illegal aliens.

Because American citizens are usually vaccinated from early childhood on for any diseases that someone might bring into this country.
Is there a disease that you know of that has been brought into the US?

That is a good question. But I think the diseases we get shots for are more environmental. Therefore, it is important for us to get inoculated against malaria but there is not much of a danger of getting it from another person i.e. one who travels here with it.

Well you don't, unless you are going to a poor country but that is a good question....but perhaps most of the diseases are entering our country by illegals brining them here...

Did you know one of the things to get legal here is you have to have all of your shots and if you don't they will make you get them before they will let you become legal?

Another ignorant question by a person who can't spell.
Cherokee, you too are misinformed and cannot spell.
Cherokee, go to the CDC site. I am not going to do your homework for you. Do you not realize that we live in a global world? People from the US travel to third world countries each and every day to conduct business. Mexico is not the only country responsible for resistant bacterial strains in the United States. Go forth and read.

I've been out of the US several times, but I've never gotten any shots.

3rd world countries are full of diseases due to poverty, lack of education, and an unwillingness by their governments to do anything about it.
