ways illegal immigrants are making you sick
I’ll be the
first one to step up and get a tear in my eye about huddled masses yearning to
breathe free and live
“the American Dream” in this “
that today, too many
people go around the system and sneak into
markedly lower and
even non-existent health standards. But these people are bringing more than
just cheap labor with
them… In some of these countries—
only read about in
Victorian novels (cholera, TB, typhoid, and even plague) are daily occurrences.
It’s no
coincidence that all of these diseases are now on the rise right here in the
That’s right:
Diseases we did away with long ago are “mysteriously” beginning to
reemerge.
These are the same
diseases that terrorized Americans for hundreds of years. Maybe it’s been
too
long for everyone to
remember what it was like when people lived in constant fear of diseases
like these. Surely if
they remembered, alarm bells would be sounding loud and clear—and people
wouldn’t worry
so much about the need for cheap labor, and the fear of being perceived as
racist.
What a load of bull.
You can call me a
racist all you want, but if turning a blind eye to (or heaven forbid, welcom-
ing with open arms)
these illegals means opening up my children’s children to these awful
dis-
eases, you can forget
it. I won’t stand for what these moochers are doing to our land, our school-
rooms or our
hospitals—and neither should you.
And keep in mind that
coming into our country LEGALLY means you’ve been screened for
these diseases.
It’s those that ignore the system and make their own rules that are
putting us at risk.
Allow me to put some
names to these faces of disease. I just hope that you never have to meet them.
1.
Tuberculosis
As illegal immigration
continues to run amok thanks to business and the government turning a
blind eye, tuberculosis
is making a comeback in the States. Reports say that over three-quarters of
the TB cases reported
in
Public health
officials are not concerned enough by this. As for me? I’m terrified.
Because the
most frightening part
of this is that there are emerging strains of drug-resistant TB being brought
into the country by
illegal immigrants who, of course, bypass the health screenings regularly con-
ducted with legal
immigrants.
2.
Chagas disease
You’ve probably
never heard of this “kissing bug disease,” but Latin Americans know
it all
too well. And why
shouldn’t they? It affects more than 18 MILLION people there every
year—

and 50,000 of those
die. In fact, it’s the leading cause of heart failure in
The bugs that spread
it (triatomine bugs) are endearingly called “kissing bugs” because
they
prefer to feed on your
lips and face. There’s nothing sweet about their kisses, though. They
nibble
on your face while
you’re sleeping…then they defecate on you. If the feces enter your
body through
mucous membranes or
breaks in your skin, you’ll contract the disease.
Some people present no
symptoms, and others will only end up with common cold symptoms.
But the disease can
also cause local swelling, enlargement of your liver or spleen, and swollen
glands.
It can get
progressively worse from there—leading to an enlarged esophagus, enlarged
heart, heart
failure, altered heart
rate, and sometimes cardiac arrest. Up to 30 percent will eventually
die…when
their heart or
intestines actually explodes.
This disease
isn’t contagious, and chances are you won’t run into these little
buggers—but that
doesn’t mean
you’re free and clear. Blood tainted with Chagas disease has turned up in
our blood
supplies, and some
transplanted organs are infected with the disease as well. Right now, there are
three proven cases of
people receiving Chagas-infected organs. Two of them died.
3.
Leprosy
Leprosy seems to be on
the decline all around the world—everywhere, that is, except for the
That’s right,
from 2005 to 2006, when the world was experiencing at 13.4 percent DECREASE in
leprosy cases, cases
in the
Forty or so years ago,
less than 900 people in the
the last three years,
that number has ballooned by 800 PERCENT—with over 7,000 new cases
reported. What’s
going on here?
Right now, you’re
probably thinking: Leprosy, that Biblical
disease? But disease of Biblical
pro-
portions
is more like it. It’s a horrific disease, the likes
of which you can’t fully understand unless you
see it. (If
you’re not the squeamish type, try Googling the term “leprosy”
and see what comes up.)
Just like the others,
this is an imported disease. Dr. Terry Williams, who runs a clinic for lepers,
says that most of the
cases he sees are imported from all over the world…like Africa, the

Dengue fever
This is another
illness that most people in
Maybe it has something
to do with the fact that this mosquito-borne illness is on the rise in
and throughout
The classic form of
the disease consists of fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and
rashes—
and sometimes nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea. But the hemorrhagic form isn’t quite so vanilla.
As
the name implies, it
causes both internal and external bleeding…including bloody diarrhea,
vomiting
blood, and bleeding
from mucosa.
The only thing doctors
recommend is “supportive therapy,” such as staying hydrated and

a blood transfusion
(just make sure it’s not tainted with Chagas disease). In other words,
there’s no cure.
5.
Whooping cough
Another “ancient
disease” on the rise. Even the
it’s worse now
than it’s been in the last 40 years.
This isn’t just
your run-of-the-mill cough, either. It’s caused by an airborne bacteria
called
Bordetella pertussis.
It attacks your breathing passages and narrows your airways, which leads to
intense coughing and
difficulty breathing. It’s especially dangerous for kids, and it can be
deadly
for infants.
6.
Cysticercosis
This is a parasitic
disease caused by the pork tapeworm, and it’s caused by poor
food-handling
practices. If
you’re infected, something as simple as not washing your hands after you
use the rest-
room can cause you to
contaminate food…and thereby spread it to other victims. The eggs will
hatch in your
intestine, and then take up residence at any given place in your body.
One man who had a
chronic headache ended up having a cyst of tapeworm larvae in his brain.
It could have killed
him. This isn’t a rare situation, either. Hundreds of others have
developed neu-
rological diseases
because of this tapeworm. (Gives you something to think about when you step
into a fast-food
restaurant…)
Between 1990 and 2002,
221 people in the
them were born in
another country—and 62 percent of that number came from…you guessed
it…
But since
cysticercosis isn’t on the radar screen of most doctors and clinics,
I’m betting that most
cases go
undiagnosed—which means that the severity of the problem is likely far
greater than the
numbers indicate. The
easiest way to avoid this one…cook your own meals.

Morgellons
If it feels like you have
bugs crawling under your skin, it might not be your imagination—espe-
cially if you live in
crawling up from its
neighbors to the south.
No one knows what
causes it, how it’s spread, or how to make it go away. The medical estab-
lishment has been
quick to shrug it off. Victims wish they could do the same.
Victims complain of
hair loss, skin thickening, fatigue and joint pain. But the worst part of all
has to be unexplained black
fibers that come out of their skin. One sufferer said, “It gives you the
sensation that you
have worms under your skin or rats crawling on you.” Another said,
“When you
lay down, as soon as
your head hits the pillow, your hair starts crawling.”
8. Polio
We did away with polio
back in the 1940s when the advent of the polio vaccine. Since then,
you probably
haven’t worried too much about this viral infectious disease. But polio
is nothing to

mess with. It has a
wide range of severity. It can be as minor as gastrointestinal problems and
flu-
like symptoms, or it
can damage the central nervous system, leading to partial paralysis (as was the
case with FDR).
Now, once again,
it’s on the rise in the
the border with them.
Luckily, this is one we do know how to fight, but when was the last time you
heard of anyone having
to line up for a polio vaccine?
5
ways to protect yourself from illegal immigrants and their diseases
OK. Right now
you’re probably thinking: To hell with
being politically correct! How can I
avoid
these diseases?
I wish I could give
you an easy solution, but the problem is just too big for a quick fix. It would
be nice if we could
ship all the illegals back to where they came from, but let's be honest: We
know
that's not going to happen.
In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take to stay healthy and
disease-free: Your
best defense is a healthy immune system. A few of my favorite immune-boosters
include lactoferrin,
elderberry, chamomile tea—and the cheapest one: sleep.
Wash your hands often.
It might be the oldest advice in the book, but it works.And if you’re
traveling
in close
quarters—like on a bus or plane—wear a mask.
See if the restaurants
you frequent check for these diseases. Do they have Hispanic immigrants
handling food? Find
out and act accordingly.
If you hire Hispanics,
you’ll want to see more than a green card. Get a recent medical
certificate
showing they are not
infected with this or any other parasitic disease, such as Giardia lamblia or
ame-
biasis. They should
also be checked for TB. Check the fingernails of kitchen workers daily. If they
resent it-fire them.
3
foolproof steps we’ll never take to curb illegal immigration
Of course, I could go on
and on, telling you about the rise of malaria, hepatitis A, B, and C, the
increase in all sorts
of parasitic infections, and even HIV. But I think you’ve got the
picture. That’s
a lot of sick people
and a lot of serious diseases that we’re not quite prepared to fight.
I’m not a fan of
political correctness, so I’m not afraid to tell you that I think
it’s high time someone
in our government did
something to stop illegal immigration before it brings this country to its
knees—
and puts us all in the
hospital. It isn’t all about
I’ve got a few
of my own ideas of how to stop the impending economic disaster illegals
represent:
1. A
BORDER FENCE––Politicians say it’ll
cost too much, but even at its most expensive
(an estimated $8
billion, tops), it would be cheaper than the negative lifetime economic
impact of just 1.5% of
the illegals already in this country.
2.
RESCIND BENEFITS––Simply by virtue of their
presence in this country, illegal
immigrants are
entitled to emergency health care, police and fire protection, and every
right to privacy,
liberty, and due process of law that all American citizens are entitled to.
Many states grant them
driver’s licenses, and many hold mortgages and credit cards.

Beyond this, their
children, even if born one minute after illegally crossing the border,
enjoy full
3.
EMPLOYMENT PROHIBITIONS––Making it a felony for
anyone in
an illegal immigrant
would go a long way toward discouraging those bent on hopping the
border to make a
living. If the money river dries up, the “fish” will swim back from
whence they came.
Doing just these three
things would neutralize the illegal immigrant threat almost overnight. If
we did these things,
we wouldn’t even NEED to make illegal entry or occupancy a crime (another
measure being
discussed by Republicrats). Nor would we have to go through the costly process
of
mass deportations.
If illegals found they
couldn’t work, get benefits, or guarantee their unborn automatic citizen-
ship, they’d go
home and make
NAFTA).
Repeated surveys have
shown that the vast majority (as much as 87%) of Americans favor the
construction of a
fence or wall along the entirety of the U.S./Mexico border. But all this
evidently
means nothing to our
elected officials, including our President.
For them, the soul
(and health) of
the opportunity to
expand government (and their own power) through entitlements like welfare,
healthcare, and
education assistance.
And so, instead of a
return to the fairness and uniquely American concept of large-scale LEGAL
immigration and
assimilation—one of the pillars of greatness this nation is built
upon—we’ll end
up with a morass of
half-measures, none of them effective, and all of them inflating government
power while at the
same time watering down our once-great entrepreneurial culture into a massive
welfare state as
stratified by social classes (the “haves” and
“have-nots”) as any communist country
ever was.
