You should try using them sometime.

And yes, TB was wiped out in this country, it stands to reason that it came from elsewhere. All legal immigrants are required to prove that they are free of communicable diseases to gain entry to the US, so that kinda leaves us with one group.

You mean tourists that go to another country and bring the disease back? The same way AIDS was brought into the country?

heres the 1993-1998 data. It seems my hyperbole was wrong, and that the foreign born population accounts for only 43% of all cases.

So what? That article focuses on:

1) Immigration (of all kinds)

2) Tuberculoses in particular

Why are you so scared of foreigners anyway?


I think the Indians should have kept closed borders since the ORIGINAL illegal immigrants (white people and Spanish people) brought in so many diseases that wiped out most of their population.

Only the ones in 17th Century court paintings by Velsaquez and Goya's portraits.


Oh, and not Juan de Pareja.

It's a joke, fer Crissakes.


Oh, and perhaps because today's Spaniards aren't two dimensional representations in a mixture of oils, unguents and minerals on a canvas or wood background.

[Master Zen]

Well they have changed a bit since then...

when have I advocated ending all immigration?

every time we give amnesty to Mexican Nationals we do so at the expense of people from the rest of Latin America, people in Asia, people in Africa,etc. I may as well ask why you hate all of them.

Supposedly, the first aids case in the US was a gay flight attendant who hoped around the world on airplanes and frequenting gay bars and bath houses as he went. That was the story I remember hearing back in the 1980's when aids was first being tracked down. That also explains why it spread in the gay community first and why it was originally called "gay flu" dispite the fact that it spreads just as well among straight people.

Dammit! You know what I meant. Blanco sounds harsher so I used it to denote other groups, mainly Anglos, besides Spanish and Portueguese.

But yeah of course Spanish people can be white, they can be redheads, etc.

The study you posted didn't differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. You said leaving the border "unprotected" encouraged diseases to be spread. But those diseases can be brought in by either legal or illegal immigrants, it doesn't really matter who it is. Our own citizens can even bring them in, as has been mentioned with the AIDS cases.
