Yours is a great question...why hasn't this issue been addressed? All the decades the US spent irradicating communicable disease - TB, polio, etc - and now we're being exposed to more virulent versions, which incubation periods can be years...By the time we see the results of the disease invasion, it will be too late for many Americans...Did you notice that it costs about $5,000 to cure regular TB, about 250k to cure someone of Mexican bred TB - this looms as a much worse problem than AIDS, which 9 times out of 10 affects gay men in this country. I do know that the health system is aware of problem posed by illegals, but what can or are they doing? I don't know.
