It is clear that immigration from third world countries has caused a steep increase in diseases that have been under control within the US for many years. I am not certain how much of this can be attributed to illegals specifically, but one example is the epidemic of tuberculosis among Indian and Pakistani immigrants. From the National Insitiute of Health:

We need a new Ellis Island to keep these people in quarantine until they are healthy enough to co-exist with the rest of us. As for the illegals, let the Mexican hospitals treat them....they shouldn't be on our dime.
FYI Psi Chi, the strain of TB they are finding in recent immigrants is resistant to current medications, and you cannot vaccinate after someone already has the disease.

yes. because a lot of the illegals that come here and send their children to school do not, wait, they refuse to have them immunized because of "religious" beliefs. that is why we are having diseases that were previously wiped out in america pop up all over the place. i have personally listened to this happen as i was waiting in line to turn in my childs immunization card, and the people in front of me were not citizens, but since their kid was born here, he was, and they were allowed to enroll him in public school without having immunization shots. when i got to the front of the line, i asked the lady how come the kid didn't have to have shots, she told me because of religious beliefs. i was floored. my answer to her was "so what". rules are rules, and illegal immigrants continue to break rules and laws and they get away with it. we will see the disease rate rise in our country. just watch.

Yes. There are some diseases that had been largely 'whiped out' in the US that are resurgent due to illegal immigration.

TB is in countries with a poor health care structure, whether that is in Mexico or Eastern Europe or Asia or Africa," Bredeek said.
If that might be the case, why don't we hold massive vaccination efforts?
