Tuberculosis (TB): Illegal Immigrants Bring Serious New Threats
By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. http://www.aapsonline.org/
Seventy-five percent of current illegal immigrants are coming from countries in Central America, South America, the Middle East, West Africa, China, India, Pakistan and others far beyond Mexico where multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is common and extremely widespread in children and adults. Extensively Drug Resistant TB (XDR-TB) is an even more serious form of TB accounting for about 10% of cases in these countries, particularly Central/South America and India. Many illegal border crossers now flooding the U.S. southern border, are carrying an invisible, disease-causing co-traveler: the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium.The AAPS, in case you're curious, is a basically a bunch of libertarian shitbirds who think things like participating in any health insurance plan whatsoever or being required to regularly show they're competent in their specialty is a gross affront to their freedumbs.
Surprise!
This is the sort of shit that regularly lands in my work inbox, in case you ever wonder why I get cranky.

Lou Dobbs was spouting this racist bullshit years ago.

Years ago, before I divorced corporate America (when I gave notice, I literally told my manager, "Janet, it's just not working out... oh, God, I just broke up with the company") and started working for a not-for-profit, I had a couple of wingnut co-workers. I toyed with the idea of starting an e-mail exchange where users could swap righties' e-mail address so we could spam them with "OBAMA IS A LIZARD PERSON FROM BETELGEUSE!!!" type stuff. Sadly, you can't even parody these people- there would have been some true believers.
