If you think for one moment that immigrants from Mexico are not infecting our nation with contagious diseases, including TB, check out the following report from the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionPreventing and Controlling Tuberculosis Along the U.S.-Mexico Border

TB disease among foreign-born persons living in the United States is increasing. In 1999, 43% (7,553) of the 17,531 TB cases reported in the United States were among foreign-born persons, compared with 24% (6,262) of the 25,701 cases reported in 1990. In 1999, Mexico was the country of origin for 23% (1,753) of all foreign-born persons with TB. Of TB cases among Mexican-born persons, three fourths were reported from the four U.S. states bordering Mexico: California, 820 cases; Texas, 364 cases; Arizona, 67 cases; and New Mexico, 17 cases (3). In 1999, TB cases among Mexican-born persons represented approximately 25% of all reported TB in the four border states. Incidence of TB was higher for the majority of border counties than the national TB rate. TB is brought into the United States from Mexico and Central America in three ways: a) persons with active TB disease move northward across the border; b) persons with latent TB infection experience active disease after arrival in the United States; or c) U.S. residents touring Mexico, including immigrants, acquire TB disease after returning to the United States (4--7). After a person with TB enters the United States, further transmission might occur, which contributes to TB morbidity in the United States directly from source patients and indirectly from their contacts. Those who have invaded our borders and immigrated to our country illegally have avoided screening for TB which is part of the legal immigration process. The question is, how many Americans have been, or will be infected by the 10 - 20 million who have invaded our borders from Mexico, many of whom are certain to be carrying TB and other contagious diseases such as hepatitis?
