but I remember out here in the west of several cases of drug resistant TB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The TB referred to in this article is resistant to even more drugs than resistant TB. That is why they call it XXDR.

XXDR is bound to come in eventually with an American who has contracted the disease on vacation or business abroad.

Your killing me...I cant reason or argue with you guys anymore. I give up. You win, there is no distinction between citizens and non-citizens in this matter. Let in everyone from anywhere, without tests, screenings or interviews. Then let them all live in your town and breath on you in your subway...etc, etc, etc...like I said..who cares..right?

I cannot think of a valid reason why a 19-year-old Peruvian needs to be visiting to study English. Don’t they have books in Peru? But it doesn’t matter. I say strap a copy of Rosetta Stone on his back and catapult him over the border into Mexico.

You cannot reason with me because you are not reasoning. You tried to make this an issue of illegal immigration, and I explained to you why it is not.

That’s right! Who would think of visiting Germany to study German? Idiots.

You know, sometimes I just have to wonder about folks and their tendency to be a ding-dong. If I was studying French, I probably would want to go to France, or anywhere else, if I was studying their language and culture.

Really, Ugly, you need to get out and about in the world just a little bit more, maybe try the next block, or city, even...

Hey, look man - It’s just not FAIR (!!!) that other people have to live in shitty Third World hellholes and die early from vicious diseases, when all we have to do to level the playing field is let them all come in here unexamined with their pestilence in tow to infect the rest of us. Where’s your compassion? Where’s your humanity? Where’s your politically correct public school education? Huh?

Me? Perhaps I’ll start leveling the playing field myself - might make a nice little voodoo doll of this dude’s mother, and some XXDR-mojo’d pins and salves to start playing with. That’ll be FAIR (!!!).

Juarez underwent three months of futile treatment in a Fort Lauderdale hospital. Then in December 2007 he was sent to A.G. Holley State Hospital, a 60-year-old massive building of brown concrete surrounded by a chain-link fence, just south of West Palm Beach.

If it takes two years for us to be told about the first case, how long would it be before we'd be told half the country had it?
