A number of replies on this thread remind me of how the Roma are viewed in Europe. Anything that happens is their fault. Why, if a chicken is run over by at train it is the fault of some Roma.

For some it is the same with aliens here, legal or illegal.

The CDC reports that one half of TB cases each year are immigrants.

Did any of you watch the program on the history of TB on PBS?

No, I must have been absent on the day that you assigned that homework. :laugh:

Well, according to the LA Times:

In 2013, 65% of the tuberculosis cases in the U.S. occurred among foreign-born people, according to the CDC.

A majority of those people came from five countries: Mexico (1,233 cases), the Philippines (776 cases), India (495 cases), Vietnam (454 cases) and China (377 cases).

"The foreign-born population has the bulk of TB cases, but they're not really spreading it beyond their communities," said Dr. Stephen Waterman of the CDC's U.S.-Mexico unit in the division of global migration and quarantine.

They are now.

The TB outbreak started in the green house, didn't it? Poncho installed the green house. A conspiracy, perhaps. :laugh:

Must be a delayed reaction then I installed that green house 15 years ago. But my back still hurts from lifting all those steel loaded mullions up on that three foot knee wall.

Why is it that people who do not live in the MId West and who hate the Mid West are nevertheless more expert on the Mid West than those of us who live here?

The facts are that TB is at its lowest rate (and the rate has been going down since 1992), yet you blame Obama because we have TB in the US?

If you can't see the stupidity of that, then maybe you guys aren't so smart in the midwest?

Please point out where the news story said that TB was brought into the country via an illegal immigrant.

No need to point out anything to you. You know that Illegals are the sources of Multi Drug Resistant diseases being brought in this country.

The laws to vet an immigrant at the site of entry worked for decades, and by allowing people to cross over without vetting them for health problems, criminal backgrounds, education, and ability to be a building block to this society has WEAKEND the immigration process and brought in diseases that were once irradicated. Criminals that are taking advantage of or over taxed system!

Here are some links, if you will read them, you will find that what I said is FACT: http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/i...gal-immigrants-bring-serious-new-threats.html

Not sure if you are aware of this but our own antivax wingnuts are a more troubling concern with regards to bringing back ailments we shouldn't be seeing in 2015. This thread isn't about TB in Kansas though is it? It's simply another attack vector.

I wasn't aware .... but, since you look to find errors and poke holes in my comments, I am not the least bit surprised. Kudos to you for your excellent research :smilewinkgrin:

Thanks for the good post. As for PBS, it is bad enough to have to pay taxes for that leftist Democrat network and even worse to have to watch it, right?

Thanks! It would be cheaper to give foreign aid to Mexico but then the Democrats could not get the votes. I am guessing that in California in the Democrat areas that you don't need no stinking ID in order to vote.

You take criticism so well though.

When it is FAIR and BALANCED, yes I do. When it comes from the same few folks, you included, no I don't. It appears to be an ungoing attempt to point out errors, with a malicious attempt to disparage my words and me! And this is what YOU are good at! :smilewinkgrin:

If you posted something factually wrong, would you not want to know about it...regardless of who points it out? I know that I would. It has happened to me many times.

(This is not an "attempt to disparage".)
