Plague and several Hantaviruses are endemic to those areas. Illegal immigration is definitely a problem, but you can't blame those two on illegal immigrants. Mouse, rat, and ground squirrel populations are a much more likely source.

what you say is true..buy why for the last 50 years is it becoming prevelant once more?
I dont know but surely expect a rise in polio in the near futue. a disease virtually wiped out in my life time.

I don't know how dengue fever got here, but in general, there is a lot to be said for the old way of doing things:

Ellis Island 1900


US borders and airports, 2007
(nothing)

If you want to maintain a healthy populace, screening newcomers for communicable diseases is a basic step.

For what it's worth...two things are infinite -- the Universe and stupidity of  radical fundamentalists

Polio vaccine still being refused in north

By Aminu Abubakar

Kano, Nigeria - A renewed drive to immunise Nigerian children living amid the world's worst outbreak of polio has run into fierce opposition from parents and Islamic teachers, health workers have said....

"I worked on Saturday and Sunday but nobody I met would allow me to vaccinate his child. The first day I went to 16 houses and at each house I was rebuffed by the parents," said auxiliary health worker Shamsuddeen Falalu."

"In some of the houses I was told it was in my own interest never to come back and wherever I passed carrying the polio kit I was booed by children who followed me chanting derisive songs," the 18-year-old told AFP on Tuesday.

In August last year, Kano State halted its participation in a UN-led global campaign to eradicate polio through mass immunisation after some Islamic radical leaders accused the United States of lacing the vaccine with anti-fertility agents.

The region rapidly found itself at the epicentre of the fastest growing outbreak of the disease ever recorded and cases began to spread across Nigeria - Africa's most populous country with 130 million people - and beyond....<snip>

just plain good 'ol fashioned stupid.
