AIDS Rate Swelling Among Hispanics

Number of cases amounts to public health crisis. AIDS rates in the nation's Latino community are increasing and, with little notice, have reached what experts are calling a simmering public health crisis. Though Hispanics comprise about 14 percent of the U.S. population, they represented 22 percent of new HIV and AIDS diagnoses tallied by federal officials in 2006. According to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Hispanics in Washington, D.C., have the highest rate of new AIDS cases in the nation. Even with the United States embroiled in a fierce debate over immigration policy, officials are downplaying or ignoring what's happening among Latinos. The consequences, however, go well beyond the Hispanic community. If the United States does not begin to make a dent in the swelling crisis among Hispanics it will continue to spread to other populations.

The following observations are all quoted from a best-selling book on our illegal alien crisis: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 38,291 California cases of tuberculosis that included Multiple Drug Resistant Tuberculosis, which is 60 percent fatal and for which treatment costs $200,000 to $1,200,000 per patient. Illegal aliens are bringing in syphilis and gonorrhea. The Center for Immigration Studies cites a medical report entitled "Immigration's Silent Invasion, Deadly consequences." This says, "The invasion of illegal aliens pouring over the border is taking an ominous turn. They are not alone. Their bodies may carry Hepatitis A,B, and C, tuberculosis, leprosy, and Chagas disease. Chagas is a nasty parasitic bug common in Latin America where 18 million people are infected and 30,000 die annually. In 2002, northern Virginia reported a 17 percent surge in TB cases, in Prince William County the increase was a staggering 188 percent. Foreign-born accounted for 92 percent of all cases. [Among these many Third World afflictions brought to us by illegal aliens we can now add the possibility of an AIDS pandemic.]

Aren't we all amused that the "authorities" won't allow you to bring undocumented fruit & veggies into their state, (California) but will allow the continued invasion of the U.S. by these "body snatching" illegals?

Got Fruit? If so, California border inspectors need to know to protect the state and its farmlands from pests

It's too bad ignorance isn't painful

“The consequences, however, go well beyond the Hispanic community. If the United States does not begin to “make a dent” in the swelling crisis of HIV among Hispanics, Galvan said, “it will continue to spread to other populations.”

So we need free aids medicine, condoms and sex ed to illegals or we all will get aids. They told us this 20 years ago and I have yet to know a person who got aids. Lym disease yes, aids no. I stay away from druggie losers.

Now that screening of blood donations is more-or-less 100% effective, AIDS really doesn’t scare me. Those who get it know how it spreads and choose to play the game anyway.
