Third World illegal immigrants spreading disease

By Frosty Wooldridge

The American Lung Association makes the claim it "wiped out"
tuberculosis in the United States. That esteemed public health
organization celebrated its 101th birthday in June.

However, last fall, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado a cadet
tested positive for tuberculosis. He is not alone. In Michigan,
Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Colorado, Texas and dozens of states
around the country, tuberculosis pops up daily at health clinics.

It's a growing crisis suffered by parents of kids in classrooms, work
places and food retail outlets. How and why is this disease that was
`extinguished' in the United States by the mid 1990's back?

According to the Center for Disease Control, 14,871 new cases of
active TB in the United States

"... occurred among people born abroad to non-U.S. born parents."

What do they have in common? They immigrated to America. Tuberculosis
rears its ugly head with the advance of illegal immigrants massing
across the United States.

How did they get past health officials at the borders? According to
U.S. Border Patrol officials, over 4,000 illegal aliens make
successful bids to cross America's borders nightly in Arizona alone.
Once inside the U.S., they move into the general population where they
spread tuberculosis to American citizens. How many infected illegal
aliens breached America's borders in the past five years? According to
a report by Dr. Kevin Patterson in the March issue of Mother Jones
News, "Patient Predator," an estimated 16,000 cases of MDR
mycobacterium tuberculosis traveled over U.S. borders from Mexico in
the past five years. This new `multi-drug resistant' TB, at this
point, is incurable. Worldwide, tuberculosis kills two million people
annually.

Let's connect the dots. On April 24, 2004, "Anatomy of an Outbreak,"
the Santa Barbara Press-News carried a story on an illegal alien
migrant who infected 56 people. He had to be arrested and confined
to stop his spreading the disease. On June 30, 2004, a Chesterfield
County, Virginia teen at James River High School tested positive for
TB. Another 100 of his classmates had to be tested. On July 2, 2004, a
Bradenton, Florida homeless man who had visited homeless shelters may
have spread the disease to an unknown number of people. Five cases
of TB surfaced at the state prison in Hardeman County, Whiteville,
Tennessee. On June 22, 2004, a nursing student tested positive
for tuberculosis. In Norwich, Connecticut, a worker from Plas Pak
Industries tested positive for TB on June 1, 2004. In Chesapeake, VA,
17 people died from TB in 2003. Last fall, north of Detroit, Michigan,
30 students and four teachers tested positive for TB.
