Do cons like to sit in a train next to a person with TB because the illegal alien has no health insurance?

Nick K asked the question:


Many illegal immigrants don’t have health insurane and can not afford medical care. But their health problems don’t affect only themselves because theyr don’t live in isolation. If you ride in a train or a subway next to a person with an open form of tuberculosis, then you will catch the disease as well. The same goes for STDs. Isn’t it better to provide them with medical care?

    That is why we have medical checks in our immigration process you know the one they chose to skip.

    another reason why we need to regulate immigration.

    Thanks for helping make a case against illegal immigration

    I dont like sitting on a train next to people with bad breath either should I supply everyone with tic tacs too.

    First of all, immigrants are not the only ones who spread diseases. I think your question is a little racist. Anyone can go to a clinic here in the USA and get medical treatment based on their income, so your question is a little off in my opinion.

    Oh come on now search_rescue_ranger. This is Yahoo Answers. Surely you’ve seen more idiotic ones!

    Tuberculosis was eradicated in this country BEFORE illegal aliens invaded. Deport them and we can improve our health situation here again. NO citizen should have to sit next to an illegal alien at all…much less an infected one.

    If you want to help them out,,have at it. For myself, they are the responsibility of their government, not ours. They come to America illegally and expect us to provide them with health care. No way, they don’t deserve what they haven’t earned. We are not here to make life easy for them just because they and bleeding hearts like you want us to.

    I seriously hope you didn’t mean you can get an STD from sitting next to someone.Or you need to talk to someone.But TB yes it’s a concern.Even shopping and handling the cart can transmit TB.Yes I wish they did receive better care medically.Not just them but ALL in our country.TB and other airborne illness’s are a huge concern.BTW…I wasn’t laughing at how you worded it because I know how you meant it.I was just clarifying for others who may not know.

    no, fine the employers big time! no jobs -no illegal aliens!you must be a kid that does not know how to add.who is going to pay for all this sh*it numb nuts????????

    Why do you need to bring my name into this.

    If you want to talk about tuberculosis say tuberculosis. Leave my name out of it.

    That being said. All illegals have to go. If you cannot find a way to come in legally like all the other immigrants that take the time and effort to do it right. Then it is you who do not belong. If they were not here they would not need our health care.

    people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. First TB has never been eradicated in this country and is on the rise again because of diseases that compromise the immune system such as AIDS.
    Second, I believe it was a certain US citizen attorney that flew internationally with a drug resistent form of TB possibly infecting thousands inside and outside this country

    It doesn’t matter. Health insurance or not, deport the illegal aliens…all of them!!!

    The people exposing you to untreatable TB are Americans, not illegal aliens. Everyone should have access to health-care.

  13. ProUSA2 on March 17th, 2009 1:55 am

    Americans and legal immigrants should have access to healthcare. NOT illegal immigrants. They should be in THEIR country getting healthcare there, not in OURS.

    You know some posts says ‘Immigrants’ There is a difference here folks!

    A LEGAL immigrant - has a full medical by a civil surgeon, HIV test, TB test, eye test, x rays if needed, injections to ensure they are up to US standards. If a LEGAL fails any part then they are refused a green card basically.

    An ILLEGAL immigrant - has done none of the above
