Docs journal reports hospitals being closed, previously vanquished diseases being spread
"many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease."
- Threat of TB close at hand
- being imported by illegal Mexican aliens
"Tuberculosis has become a disease mostly of non-U.S.-born residents, and for us that mostly means Mexico," Simpson said. "In southern New Mexico and El Paso there's a huge migrant work force that travels back and forth to Mexico. It's almost improbable to think that they won't bring the disease with them into the United States." About 25 percent of the Mexican population is infected with tuberculosis and 6 percent with multi-drug-resistant TB.
- Disease, unwanted import
Contagious diseases are entering the United States because of immigrants, illegal aliens, refugees and travelers, and World Health Organization officials say the worst could be yet to come. In addition to a list of imported diseases that includes tuberculosis, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis B, measles and the potentially deadly parasitic disease Chagas, officials fear what could happen if the avian flu, which is flourishing among poultry in Southeast Asia, mutates so that it is capable of human-to-human transmission through casual contact.
