If my kid would have got a disease from this bum I'd be a millionare! No illegals!

MORE PROOF - they care about NOTHING, NO ONE and ONLY themselves.

A "day laborer"? Wonder how many he infected while Gwinnett Co. sat on their A S S E S?

Scary to think about what all their bringing in with them, they did a story about this not too long ago about Staph, Tuberculosis and Hep and it scared me enough to make the kids carry sanitary hand cleaner in the backpacks, a bit paranoid perhaps but you just never know so IMO it's better to be a bit paranoid then have my kids sick.

[Oh Yeah]

It is scary how illegal immigrants are not checked for diseases and such because they sneak over the border. America is seeing medical conditions come back that were eradicated years ago.

I keep asking why this isn't a big issue with our politicians and nobody can give me a definitive answer that satsifies me. This is simply a travesty knowing that these illegals are handling our foodstuffs, and their tainted children are infecting ours.

Makes me glad the my son does not attend public school in Chicago. I have to send him to private school but it was more because of the violence and gangs, but now I know that illegals are using are public school system and this is what tey can bring to our children. I guess it will take a mass outbreak of some third world disease and hundreds of American children being hurt until our politicians will wake up. Illegals are a threat to national security and this is just one example of how. Politicians need to stop using them for cheap labor to make themselves rich and do the job we elected them to do, protect us.

CDC: Most tuberculosis cases are in immigrants
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2007/jan/27/cdc_...
excerpts
Wichita — When the Somalian refugee walked into the health department of an Emporia meatpacking plant earlier this month suffering from active tuberculosis, he became the latest entry on government health statistics - 62 percent of active TB cases reported in Kansas last year involved immigrants.

"That is actually a national trend over the last several years," said Phil Griffin, director of the Kansas Tuberculosis Control Program.

For four consecutive years, immigrants have made up more than half of active TB cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2005, the latest year for which national data was available, foreign-born residents accounted for 55 percent of TB cases nationwide. Immigrants are infected at a rate nearly nine times higher than the native population.

In 22 states, immigrants accounted for more than half of TB cases, up from five states in 1993, according to the CDC.

"Tuberculosis is pandemic in all but 27 countries," Griffin said. "There are so many more cases outside the United States. As immigrants come in - legally or illegally, either way - that is where the disease is coming from, because it is rampant in their countries."

Last week, health officials reported that a Somalian immigrant working at the Tyson Foods Inc. plant in Emporia had an active case of TB, and the coroner determined the disease was related to his death. The man initially said he was injured while preparing an animal for slaughter and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he later died.

While TB in the United States was at an all-time low in 2005, progress to eliminate the disease is slowing, CDC statistics show. In 2005, the CDC recorded 14,093 active TB cases, or 4.8 cases per 100,000 persons.

California, Texas, New York and Florida now account for nearly half of the number of TB cases nationwide, according to CDC statistics.

"It is a kind of dirty little secret because it is not reported much. I think it is huge myself," said Ed Hayes, Kansas director of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps., which opposes illegal immigration.

Kansas had 81 cases of active TB in 2006, compared with 61 cases the year before, said Lougene Marsh, director of the Lyon County Health Department.

The percentage of immigrant TB cases in Kansas is higher than the national average because the state's agricultural economy attracts large numbers of immigrants. "Kansas has always been in that situation," Griffin said.

The 20-year-old Tyson worker, whose name has not been released, had been employed at the Emporia plant since May 2006 and had not worked at any other company facility, Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson.

Since his death, health officials have contacted 35 people who had close contact with the man, and initial test results show no one else was infected, Marsh said.

By far, the greatest number of TB cases among immigrants comes from those who came from Mexico, CDC statistics show

"Authorities with the Gwinnett County Board of Health had been concerned the 17-year-old may have infected others living with him. A total of 13 family members, five of whom lived with Santos, were tested for tuberculosis. Four adults tested positive for the inactive, non-contagious form of the disease and are being treated, Goins said."

This is ridiculous...
Why does everyone treat others that come from another "country" like they're sub-human?

This is called - Xenophobia.

It's no different from people from Duluth hating People from Chicago or Kansas, just because they're from other places... It's grade school mentality...

The health issues are a money issue... that's it.
