while Washington and our President are asleep on watch

They don't have to put up with the mess like we do, why should they care? They protect themselves only.

More problems than we realize are coming across our borders.

Actually this has been known for a long time. The elite need not be bothered. They don't have to mix it up with them, like Joe tax payer does.

Oh look at this. Almost sounds like a call for the "solution" that would come from Pat Buchanan's favorite political party's handbook.

Especially when you consider that many American doctors will misdiagnose these diseases, especially in the indigenous population, simply because the diseases happen elsewhere.

Since you seem to think this story can be equated to something sinister against illegals you must therefore be for these illegals bringing these diseases here unchecked. Is that part of the La Raza plan?

It seems to me that you are for these people killing innocent Americans because you don't speak out against it.

We should look on the "bright" side of all this.

We may not have a genuine Social Security "Crisis" after all. The mortality of these awful diseases being spread throughout the country means American life expectancy will soon drop and older, more vulnerable people will die much earlier instead of soaking up scarce Social Security funds for decades and languishing for years in nursing homes.

Maybe the Democrats are right? Maybe there is no Social Security crisis? Maybe there are some tangible benefits to illegal immigration besides cheap nannies and gardeners, inexpensive lettuce and legions of pressure groups demanding more government largess?

The fact is that the United States is being assaulted by a global criminal network.

The globalist gang bangers!

Whether by the acts of terrorists or ILLEGAL aliens forming "an assembly line of diseases into the heart of America" you've got to look at the economics: "cheap" labor and virtually free domestic help v. American lives. Republicrats choose the former. Government and business make these kinds of decisions everyday. It's nothing new.

The Clinton Rats and the Bush Reps have joined forces with business and internationalists' migrant labor economic diaspora. It's the rest of the story of "free trade."

Folks, it's a done deal. Elvis has left the building. The fat lady has sung. (Oh, and Hitlery is lying. Surprise.)

WOW! The delusional Buchannaites were in full force last night! So many threads by these morons telling us those illegal immigrants are the roots of all evil.

RE: "Maybe there is no Social Security crisis?"

I think that you are on to something!

"Cheap" labor," virtually free domestic help, and the elimination of the looming 10-trillion dollar obligation faced by our ruling class of both Parties! That's why they are the anointed ones and we're not.

This is not sarcasm.

Meanwhile the Bush Republicans are whistling and singing, "Look on the bright side of things."

I originally wrote it tongue in cheek, but as I read it through again, it made more sense to me also. It did not make me feel good reflecting about it.

That's why I put no "/sarcasm/" tag with it.

RE: It did not make me feel good reflecting about it.

Well, these are "interesting times."

We are in a war as real as W.W.II, at least.

"In my view, the stakes are much higher in the war on terror than in anything we've faced since World War II, and probably World War II as well," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers.

Saddled with a 10+ trillion dollar obligation to care for the elderly that could easily hinder our ability to fight a protracted war that some believe will last as long as the Cold War, I am sure that the thought has crossed Washington's mind.

W.W.II leaders let bombs fall on civilians fearing that to intercept the bombers would tip off the enemy that their coded messages were being read. The war effort was far more important.

Is one generation worth more than the Republic itself?

I am positive that both Parties would answer without hesitation, No!

(Never mind that "cheap" labor is worth more than the Republic itself in the minds of those very same leaders willing to sacrifice the "boomers." I couldn't resist the editorializing. :) )

Be careful. You may be called a racist neo-Nazi "Stormfront" shill for posting this article.

Truth is no defense, when the race-baiters arrive on a thread to defend open borders.

Ironically, the public health community has been aware of this danger for years. “Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected,” writes Donald G. McNeil, Jr. in the New York Times (November 18, 2003), “and there is no effective treatment for them. After a decade, 10 to 30 percent of them will die when their hearts or intestines, weakened by the disease, explode.”

It would be poetic justice if the persons responsible for preventing the securing of our borders would contract this disease.
