Yes, TB and a number of other deadly diseases were eradicated in the U.S. until our borders were opened to all and sundry, but that started happening way before Bush took office. He just made it worse. I am now waiting for polio to return to our shores with some African or Indian subcontinent immigrants. There are several places in Africa where the Imams are telling people that polio vaccinations are the work of American devils. Please see my tagline.

“Starting in the 1940s, scientists discovered the first of several medicines now used to treat TB. As a result, TB slowly began to decrease in the United States. But in the 1970s and early 1980s, the country let its guard down and TB control efforts were neglected. As a result, between 1985 and 1992, the number of TB cases increased. However, with increased funding and attention to the TB problem, we have had a steady decline in the number of persons with TB since 1992. But TB is still a problem; more than 14,000 cases were reported in 2003 in the United States.”

From CDC website. TB has never been eradicated in the US. It was treated successfully, which decreased the number of deaths. The number of cases has steadily decreased in the past 10 years, unlike the number of illegals that has greatly increased over the past 10 years. Illegals are not the cause of all TB infections.

Yes I know it started before him. It is his job to protect our borders. He doesn’t seem to think so. His real job, that he didn’t campaign on, is doing the globalist sell out patriotic Americans won’t do. What is up to now is the abandonment of Americans for cheap labor. And where is the national guard being sent?
