In an article in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., Dr. Reuben Granich, a lead investigator for the CDC commented on MDR-TB:

"Evidence of it has surfaced in 38 of 61 California health jurisdictions, and it could ‘threaten the efficacy of TB control efforts,' Granich said. The infected were said to be four times as likely to die from the disease and twice as likely to transmit the disease to others ... Reluctant to label the infected as ‘illegal' or even ‘undocumented' aliens, the report notes that of the 407 known cases of MDR-TB, 84% were ‘foreign-born' patients, mainly from Mexico and the Philippines who'd been in the U.S. less than five years.The percentage of TB cases among the ‘foreign-born' jumped from 29% in 1993 to 53% as of last year."

One thing is certain though: Amnesty (S. 1348 )is a threat to the general welfare of the United States! Those who have invaded our borders will not be checked for contagious diseases!
