In the past decade, most urban-dwelling bedbugs arrived on the backs of roaming college students or migrant workers from South and Central America.

Check this one out.

Thanks for nothing, McCain, Bush, Kennedy, et al!

Bedbugs lay around and suck the blood from their hosts. Hmmm, maybe there is a “larger” lesson here.

[paulycy]

Are bedbugs the reason for this?

I own no stocks, as I am against all forms of gambling and speculation. Play poker and be honest about what you are doing....

Bring back DDT!!!

[FrdmLvr]

Not only are they bringing bed bugs, but there is a resurgence of diseases as well, particularly whopping cough (pertussis), a deadly disease for infants and toddlers, and TB is another disease that's spreading.

Diversity - and Bedbugs - is our strength.

Family Values - and Bedbugs - don't stop at the Rio Grande.

Illegals are only bringing Bedbugs into America because lazy Americans refuse to do it.

Illegals - and Bedbugs - are all Gods children.

Excuse me, but I have this itch.

Must be because of where I slept.

That ain't all they bring with em’ .. head lice, tuberculosis.. etc, etc..

A friend on mine lives in a condo complex outside Vail, Co. For several years one of the buildings has been a rotating door for “wetbacks”. (he said it wasn't as bad last year) The illegal immigrant building got infested and the entire complex had to be fumigated. They have been “bombing” ALL the condos every 6 months for three years. Last week they announced that the infestation had been contained into one building. Which one? You guessed it!

People think of getting these things from hotel beds, but they can be picked up at places like movie theaters, public bathrooms, airplanes, trains, taxis, or other public places as well.

I think this one speaks Spanish with a Guatemalan accent.

Not everything is Frontpage.....

Your headline is pretty deceiving. The Herald is the conservative Boston paper. The Globe is the liberal one and it hasn’t admitted anything of the sort.

Once they settle and mate, their offspring will eventually set off in search of new blood...

Was it about illegals or bedbugs??

[Citizen Tom Paine]

But don’t evere consider DDT to get rid of them. DDT is Bad!

[popdonnelly]

What’s the Mexican word for bedbug?

[VOA]

“
Bedbugs crawl way into posh suburbs (MSM admits bedbugs arrived
in U.S. on backs of illegal aliens!)
“

Yep. Occasionally the MSM actually prints the truth.
I suspect it only happens when the senior editors have over-done
booze/drugs.
Or perhaps they are on their lenghty August vacations.

Science: Homemade DDT
Monday, Aug. 06, 1945

Many a civilian would give red points to get his hands on a little DDT, the Army’s high-priority insecticide. Recently citizens of Media and Swarthmore, Philadelphia suburbs, were astonished: two of the towns’ hardware stores offered bottles of DDT for sale across the open counter. The solution was just right for killing flies and mosquitoes. The stores did a land-office business at $1 per pint. Then WPB heard about it and asked grimly: where did the stuff come from?

The answer: a Swarthmore chemist named Walter Steuber (of Houdry Process Corp.) had decided that the easiest way to get DDT was to make it himself. He was turning it out by the gallon in his cellar. Said Steuber: any competent chemist can figure out the formula and make DDT out of non-priority materials. The ingredients are: chloral hydrate (better known as “Mickey Finn”), monochlor benzine, and concentrated sulfuric acid.

WPB solemnly ruled: “Anybody can make DDT, provided he uses non-priority materials or materials for which he has obtained a priority rating. But you can’t sell it except for military or experimental purposes.”

Last week, as a result of Steuber’s enterprise, WPB suddenly changed its mind. Beginning this month, it announced, regular manufacturers will be allowed to sell limited supplies of DDT to civilians, manufacturers producing less than 1,000 lbs. weekly may sell their product to anyone they choose.
