Not knowing how anybody can determine the relative risk of syphilis in one group compared to another, I can't answer your question. The excerpt talked about testing all pregnant women multiple times.

My comment was in two parts; one about reducing the risk of disease in this country, and the other about allowing many of those diseases to flourish again through uncontrolled borders. If the 2 parts are related, they would be compounding factors. Each one separately is a disaster.

Human trafficking where women have multiple partners would be my best guess. New Mexico is a border crossing state and it’s not uncommon for female border crossers to have been raped repeatedly on their journey.

Really?

Really?!

You don't think that there might be significant statistical differences between various easily-identifiable demographic groups?

For car insurance, criminality, AIDS, mayonnaise consumption - every conceivable kind of parameter, it is child's play to recognize differences between demographic groups.

But syphilis is somehow "different?"

Political Correctness gone mad!
