Nice...sliding backwards into the abyss of the third world, thanks to our worthless leaders and the greed of a few of our fellow citizens.

Garandgal

It's not a third world - it's the "new America".

​ ​​​​We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

Let's don't forget last year's epidemic of Whooping Cough, which I will guarantee you was brought here by illegals.

[Bon mots]

We should find all the Mexicans with TB and send them to Skagit County, otherwise, they will suffer.

Then all the Africans with AIDS too.

[WasDougsLamb]

---I agree. Alot of people could be effected and infected by him.

The tuberculosis eating at Ricardo’s lungs makes him a public health threat. His fear of being picked up by immigration authorities has sent him into hiding.
A hard-to-treat combination of medical problems left the young farmworker tired, without an appetite and, because of the tuberculosis, quarantined in a hotel room for weeks.

(Snip)...

Ricardo has been deported to Mexico once before and said he doesn’t want to go again — especially now that he’s sick.
So he left his county-paid hotel room, where he was ordered to stay to avoid infecting family members with the highly contagious disease.

(snip)...

Critics say even the suggestion of turning a patient over to immigration will destroy the health department’s credibility with Skagit County’s illegal immigrants, who make up a large proportion of its clients.

OMG! So we have a Health Bomb, spreading a virulent and HIGHLY communicable disease to the entire populace because this selfish ILLEGAL P.O.S. doesn't want to be deported again?!?!

And the "advocates" say we can't do ANYTHING because then other ILLEGALS may not seek aid?

TOUGH!!!

Here's a Quartet...call someone who cares!

May I suggets Jorge Arbusto at La Hacienda Blanco? If he's so much in favor of elimination the "Eurocentric" America, and refocusing us on Mexican Immigration to the point of allowing and ENCOURAGING Illegal immigration...maybe he and Mamasita Laura could give hospice care to all these sick Illegals in THEIR home...let THEM face the exposure and risks that "Americans Won't Risk!"

Shut the Borders NOW...or risk Impeachment for a REAL reason...derreliction of Duty to America and the Constitution, and Treason!

There was an article in the local news for SW Georgia about a prison camp there that had about 250+ positive tests for TB. It was all traced back to one inmate, but as I expeced a name was with held. I suspect it was an illegal.

[Nea Wood]

OUTRAGE.

[VOA]

Cure him.
Ship him home.

Of course, I'm biased. That's because I had one episode of being on
a bus in Los Angeles that was boarded by a (likely) illegal who
was about to cough up a lung.
I got off at the next stop...and that wasn't quick enough.

[Amish with an attitude]

It's Bush's fault.

[Travis McGee]

Not to mention their infected kids are sitting around ours in the public schools.

[bigsigh]

brought to you by our current administration and well-meaning cities and local police departments who don't give a damn.

BTTT

But the county department’s budget is strained, and Ricardo’s complex health problems have made it tough to make him noncontagious, Browning said. Browning said calling immigration may be the only option.

Why are we needlessly inflicting this sort of danger on the American population, is cheap labor that important to our government? It's time to close the borders and enforce the laws before these type diseases become an epidemic.

Here's another story about hard workin' undocumented migrant virii, furrin bugs just killing the 'mericans that 'merican germs won't.

Critics say even the suggestion of turning a patient over to immigration will destroy the health department’s credibility with Skagit County’s illegal immigrants, who make up a large proportion of its clients.

Good grief. It's obviously MUCH better for us to bankrupt ourselves catering to these people than it would be to DEFEND OUR CITIZENS... There's no excuse for this.

[Gritty]

I am at a loss for words.

Putting this guy in "quarantine" in a public motel is good policy?

What about the other guests in the adjoining rooms or going by in the hallways?

How dooe Public Health know he is staying in his room 24/7,... his "word"?

What about the employees who work in this motel or clean up his room? Are they aware of the deadly threat to their health in residence here?

How about the next unsuspecting guests who stay in the same room after this Typhoid Mary guy finally leaves his "free" digs?

Is the Public Health Department going to completely and competently decontaminate the infected room from this deadly disease?

Would anybody here volunteer to be the next unsuspecting paying guest in this room? Will the motel even tell the next paying guests who was last staying in their rented room and sleeping in their bed for weeks, or do they even know?

I am at a loss for words at the utter stupidity and craven incompetence on open display here in this story!

[bitt]

Quicker than I could say "Boo", he would be

a. reported

b. picketed

c. threatened

Maybe we should get him to hang around with the Hollyweirds' kids. That might convince a few of them...Like the "Curb Your Enthusiasm"'s episode when Larry brought home the child molestor and all the "libs" went insane about him being near THEIR kids...

[devolve]

Tell me about it!

I went in for pre-op tests at one of our hospitals

It took about 4 hours

3 hours of which were spent in waiting areas with about 95% illegal aliens

The hospital clerical and techs were great

The illegal aliens were kind enough to further invade.....

.....my lungs with their impoerted pneumonia

That of course cancelled my serious surgery scheduled for two days later -

And after a long period of time I am almost at 50% of what my health should be as it was before

Yet the surgery has not been done yet - what should have been routine surgery with only one night afterwards in the hospital as a precaution - is now something that is not as routine

I favor the old "bounty" system the feds had

At one time any US citizen turning in illegal aliens received a reward

Excpt this time I favor giving me 50% of any illegal aliens assets, real estate property, business value, bank accounts and stocks and bonds, vehicles, hidden offshore assets, etc

The other 50% to be split between local LEOs and the feds and state

Door #2 is reloading more .44-40


The party is over

Crooked employers must go to prison and have assets seized

The same with crooked DMV, IRS, SS, Social Services, "ignorant groups", politicians

These creeps, Fox, illegal aliens sure did their darnedest to kill me

Illegal aliens are stealing our assets, stealing our paychecks thru exploding deductions, bankrupting our ERs and hospitals, endangering the health of honest US citizens - including physicians, nurses, and medial techs - killing, raping, stealing vehile and property, no driver's insurance, no income taxes, ripping off welfare, SSI (big bucks per "challenged" kid using fake or bribery purchased IDs), stealing public housing that the elderly - disabled - injured - should only be getting, food stamps, state supplements, bank mortgages under the rate honest US citizens can get, - using multiple IDs to collect "Earned Income Credit" refunds from the IRS (a biggie!), etc......

They have multiple state driver's licenses (as Atta & Co. did)- so they are never without "documents" if stopped by LEOs

The majority of violent felons in many prisons or jails are illegal aliens

The topper:

(this should infuriate American blacks and hispanics)

The DOJ/FBI Uniform Crime Report - every year - breaks down crimes as "white" - "black" - "other" - "unknown"

The high number "perps" of all crimes - especially violent crimes - is not broken down as to "US citizen" or "foreign" or "illegal alien" by the feds, states, cities

Otherwise the blame for the disproportional much higher crime rate is blamed on Americans who are minorities!

"The fact of the matter" (patented liberal sound byte!) is that US blacks anf hispanics are not guilty of committing all of those high percentages of violent, drug, theft, murder, rape crimes you are told they are committing

The damage is enormous.

Illegal aliens often "skate" because of "sanctity cities or states" and pressure, or "run for the border", or are deported - and are back multiple times to again terrorize, steal, cheat, rip off, whatever -

American minorities catch too much of the blame - and some of their "leaders" are in Presidente Fox's pocket

How many (%) of the violent crimes and rip offs and thefts and other crimes are actually committed by illegal aliens?

Ask you politicians and LEOs

They will tell you of course.....




Door #2 is on the table right now


The clock is running down


Do not test me

[gophomaxx]

Texas already has an group of aliens (17) in forced quarantine with a drug resistant TB strain.
