183 pediatric deaths from influenza in the 2017-2018 influenza season. @johnwk2 why don’t you care about all these pediatric deaths?

I think there have only been 1 or 2 deaths from AFM. Yet annually more than 100 children die from the flu.

In the third week of 2018, 4064 people died of influenza. People just accept that?

See: More than 9,000 People in the U.S. Got Tuberculosis Last Year. Who Were They?

In the United States, the disease is mostly limited to immigrants (from countries where tuberculosis is prevalent) as well as the homeless and people who live in close contact with others (such as in prison). The following graph from the CDC depicts the trends in new tuberculosis infections in the U.S.:

If we stopped illegal immigration, the number of TB cases would be reduced. Why is that so difficult for some to understand?

JWK

The trend for all groups appears to be decreasing, with an occasional upward blip.

Huh.

I say we deport everybody. Then when the country is empty, we will have solved the problem.

Hey, you may be onto something here. If we deport all human life from earth, we can eliminate the possibility of humans on earth getting diseases

Not only that–we’ll solve our problems with the deficit, food shortages, lacking an umbrella during sudden rainstorms, and the Sacramento Kings always losing and never drafting correctly.

Have we just solved all of humanity’s problems?

Remove humanity from the planet.

Johnwk is finally onto something.

Johnwk, how should we pursue your final solution?

Ought we exterminate? Or should we jettison ourselves into space?

Ok, I can no longer take your idea seriously. Nothing’s going to fix that.

John? John??

Save your BREATH JWK…you started a thread about some extremely rare polio like disease and building a wall because you are panicked…and now you want to change your story to TB. Come on man…stick to one story.

What does your post have to do with contagious diseases spread to American Citizens by illegal entrants?

JWK

There is no surer way to weaken, destroy and subjugate a prosperous and freedom loving country than by importing the world’s poverty stricken and criminal populations into that country and making the country’s existing citizens tax-slaves to support the economic needs of such an invasion.

And NON US BORN does not equal Illegal immigrant. it means people who are here legally, illegally, on visa’s, married to a US citizen and etc. You can’t build a wall and keep them out. Ever Trumper…never lets facts get in the way of a grand old flop of a story. LOL

Other than trying to mislead people into believing that the CDC is tying AFM to illegal immigration, exactly what does your OP have to do with contagious diseases spread to American Citizens by illegal entrants?

Did you miss the following which appears in the OP?

What we do know is, during legal immigration, immigrants are tested for contagious diseases. But under illegal immigration, immigrants by-pass medical examinations which would detect contagious diseases.

See: Illegal Immigration and the Threat of Infectious Disease

”Illegal immigration may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated, but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB. This disease rose by 20% globally from 1985 to 1991, and was declared a worldwide emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1995. Furthermore, TB frequently occurs in connection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Fortunately, more than 90% of Central Americans are vaccinated against TB, according to the WHO.”

The fact is, Illegal immigration poses significant health risks to American Citizens. Does the subject not deserve a respectful discussion?

JWK

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.

Same old tired but successful strategy right before elections…xenophobia.
