This makes the case clear: illegal immigrants are a grave threat to National Security AND Public Health.
Round 'em up and ship 'em out.
If there's so much concern about diseases they may spread GET 'EM THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY!!!!!
Try "travel services".
Un-freaking-believable!
How about DEPORTING the d@%n illegals?!
After deleting all of the expletives, my post reads as follows:

Well, this is just heartbreaking. Thinking of all those dusky hued, shiny eyed, exotic people, living in neighborhoods to which I'd never go. They need health insurance and since they can't afford it, we as Americans, need to provide it for them. I suggest we pay for it by taxing "The Rich" (people who make more than $30,000 a year). It's the only "compasionate" thing to do.

Excellent point, if not a new point. They are here, which is a failure of FedGov, but since they are here we ought not allow the introduction of their third world ideas as well. Integrate them and then take up a few matters with FedGov.
It constantly amazes me how stupid politicians can be. By having a policy that encourages illegals to enter the country, they ARE the cause of TB outbreaks.
Send them wading back across the river.
Free Health care is one of the many benefits they come here for that we as American citizens are not entitled too.
Maybe putting immigration officers in the emergency rooms would help to round them up and ship them out, and CLOSE THE D*** BORDERS NORTH AND SOUTH.
This article is almost schizophrenic in its contradictions. Out one corner of their mouth they tell us to spend more because these people are walking infectious biological WMDs. Out of the other side of their mouth they tell us how healthy they are and that our emergency rooms that are closing in Southern California are only pretending to be going bankrupt.

"Americans should be told that diseases long eradicated in this country tuberculosis, leprosy, polio, for example and other extremely contagious diseases have been linked directly to illegals," Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., told the Business Journal of Phoenix. "For example, in 40 years, only 900 persons were afflicted by leprosy in the U.S.; in the past three years, more than 7,000 cases have been presented." "This... Read | Comments |

In addition to a list of imported diseases that includes tuberculosis, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis B, measles and the potentially deadly parasitic disease Chagas, officials fear what could happen if the avian flu, which is flourishing among poultry in Southeast Asia, mutates so that it is capable of human-to-human transmission through casual contact. |

WHITEHEAD As an American, I have always been inspired by the fact that my country welcomes those who seek refuge. And as long as our government officials maintain our borders and ensure that those coming from other countries are screened in order to protect those who legally live here, the concept of welcoming immigrants is a noble one. However, something has gone awry. Indeed, illegal immigration into the U.S. has become an immense problem and a clear and present danger. Documented illegal immigration has more than doubled in the last decade. It has grown, by conservative counts, from 3.5 million in... Read | Comments |

Tracks Infectious Diseases |

(AP) - Programs that track health-related 911 calls and purchases of over-the-counter medication help health authorities in the state's largest city get a jump on tracking outbreaks of infectious disease. Officials say the 911 program, called FirstWatch, can do something else as well - even though they hope it will never have to. FirstWatch, which began tracking calls on Wednesday, is a "smoke detector for bioterrorism," said FirstWatch project director Matthew Ferguson. In the past, health officials have had to rely on reports from doctors and hospitals to track outbreaks. FirstWatch, however, is able to... |
We give the French a lot of grief here on FreeRepublic, but they did invent one of the most effective field levelers towards rooting out the endemic ineptitude of a ruling elite class: the guillotine.
I could not believe the Wash Times ran this one-sided piece of propaganda this morning. The editors must be on a retreat.
To late for stopping the spread of infectious diseases like TB.
Go to CDC and see how many cases are reported.
Makes me want to join the tax protestors.
