- Hello Jeff -- Frosty Wooldridge was the first to write
about the horrors of 'colonias' years ago. I did locate one other article
published in May of 2005 that described these despicable shanty towns set
up by illegals living in disease and squalor. Why aren't local governments
doing something? ANYTHING? I am sure these shanty 'colonias' are totally
illegal in terms of zoning laws and should be torn down as a matter of
public health immediately. Maybe public health laws only pertain to US
citizens who can be cited, fined and even whisked away without explanation
at a moment's notice by the Public Health authority?
-
- Excerpt from the article:
-
- "A 'hot-zone' of disease can be found in this nations
border states. Illegal immigrants are setting up so-called "colonias"
just inside the states of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The shanty towns
are comprised mostly of cardboard shacks and huts made with cast-off building
materials. They have no sanitation, and are surrounded by mounds of garbage.
The estimated 185,000 illegals share their makeshift towns with armies
of rats. Of course, diseases only common to Central and South America run
rampant in these places."
-
- Jeff we've reported on these colonias...so has Frosty
Wooldridge. So, where is the outrage? Where the hell is 'public
health'? US citizens can be taken away just for refusing a vaccine during
a time of a pandemic...or an alleged pandemic. Why aren't the states' public
health departments removing this 'colonia' scourge and cleaning the areas
infected by them? Can you just imagine the MDR, XDR and just plain ole
TB spreading in this sewer of humanity? Chagas, Dengue, Yellow Fever, Typhoid,
Cholera, Leprosy, Gastrointestinal diseases, Influenzas, Polio, C. Difficle,
and about any other communicable disease we can imagine ARE infesting
the illegal alien population...and the US taxpayers are being nailed to
the wall giving these people free medical care, etc.
-
- The illegal shantytown dumps have NO clean water
to wash with, no sanitation and no toilets. Is anyone concerned? Is anyone
doing anything?
-
- A Chagas researcher in Iowa admitted that they KNEW
Chagas disease was in 30-40% of small animals in Louisiana, and we can
safely assume, Texas. There had been research ongoing for years with Chagas
positive DOGS. Now we allow illegals to invade the US each day and the
best
- estimates are that fully 10% of each day's illegals are
coming to the US with Chagas! Does this make any sense? 10% every day.
18 MILLION infected with Chagas in Mexico, Central and South America and
50,000 die each year. And we have now allowed a cycle for Chagas to
exist in the US. Shame, yet again, on our CDC and public health officials
for not sounding the warning. Shame on the entire government.
-
- We know that our blood supply has been infected, we also
know that there have been cases of organ receipients becoming infected
via transplants. Chagas can be ingested by feces contaminated food and
water and via vector borne transmission. Every one in the hot zones of
Los Angeles County, Texas and Louisiana should go to their health care
provider and demand a test for Chagas. Most doctors will ask if a person
requesting a test has been abroad in Central or South America or Mexico.
If you say 'no', the doc will try to talk you out of the simple blood test.
A PCR will id Chagas. Demand the test.
-
- In Texas, the FIRST house tested found 24 triatoma bugs
positive for Chagas. 24 triatoma bugs out of 31 triatoma bugs. That is
a HUGE number of infected kissing bugs. Also, the homes tested in Louisiana
and Texas were found to have triatoma bugs that colonized the homes. That
is a giant step to endemic infection. Once these bugs, especially Chagas-infected
ones, colonize a home, you can pretty much assume the infestation is going
to become endemic. We are at the beginning of this endemic colonization...and
we can still stop it.
-
- As more small animals and humans become infected, the
resident US kissing bugs will continue to become infected, then the humans
and small animals become infected and the cycle grows into endemic disease
infection. In a matter of a decade, maybe less, we then have an endemic
public health crisis. Just look at West Nile virus. We have the kissing
bug vector in the US from southern to mid latitudes and Chagas can spread.
Kissing bugs infestering homes can do well over winter and the cycle will
only continue to grow.

- Illegal Immigrants Are Spreading
Dangerous Diseases Across This Nation
- By Dave Gibson
-
- It is often said that the flood of illegal immigrants
into this country is reaching 'epidemic proportions.' While that statement
is true--it is just as true that the illegal immigrants pouring over the
U.S.-Mexican border are endangering this country with actual epidemics.
Tuberculosis, hepatitis, dengue fever, chagas, and even leprosy are being
imported into the U.S. inside the bodies of illegal aliens...And you thought
they only carried heroin-filled baloons inside their bodies!
-
- A 'hot-zone' of disease can be found in this nations
border states. Illegal immigrants are setting up so-called "colonias"
just inside the states of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The shanty towns
are comprised mostly of cardboard shacks and huts made with cast-off building
materials. They have no sanitation, and are surrounded by mounds of garbage.
The estimated 185,000 illegals share their makeshift towns with armies
of rats. Of course, diseases only common to Central and South America run
rampant in these places.
-
- One of the imports to this country is chagas disease.
It is caused by a parasite known as trypanosome. It is a blood-borne disease
and is spread by triatomine insects. The parasite burrows into human tissue
(usually in the face), where it then begins to multiply. In addition to
being spread by insects, it can also be contracted through blood transfusions.
-
- After cases of chagas were reportedly discovered to have
been spread by transfusions in Canada, that nation began testing all blood
donations for the disease.
-
- For 40 years, the number of recorded cases of leprosy
within the United States totaled 900. Today, we know of more than 7,000
current cases of leprosy in the U.S.
-
- Dr. John Levis of New York's Bellevue Hospital's Hansen
Disease Clinic said of America's documented cases of leprosy: 'There are
probably many, many more and they are spreading."
-
- Most of those in the U.S. who are suffering from leprosy
are from Mexico, India, Brazil, and the Caribbean. However, there are a
few documented cases in which the person became infected with leprosy inside
the U.S. The majority of the cases have been discovered in this nation's
northeastern region.
-
- Once thought to be nearly eradicated in this country,
TB is now making a strong comeback. In a recent interview with Mother Jones
Magazine, Dr. Reichman of The New Jersey TB Clinic recently said: In the
1990's, cases among foreign born Americans rose from 29 percent to 41.6
percent. Antibiotic resistant strains from Mexico have migrated to Texas.
Since three years ago, 16,000 new cases of TB were discovered in the United
States. Half were foreign born. Strains of TB once only found in Mexico
have migrated to the border states of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California.
It will move north as illegal aliens work in restaurants as cooks, dishwashers,
and food handlers. We sit on the edge of a potential catastrophe."
-
- In 2001, New York's Tuberculosis Control Program discovered
that 81 percent of that city's new cases of TB were attributed to immigrants
-
- Cases of TB are now being found in many areas of the
country, where there are high concentrations of illegal immigrants. In
March of 2002, The Washington Post reported that Virginia's Prince William
County experienced a 188 percent increase of TB infections over the previous
year. Yes, the streets of Prince William County are over-run with illegal
aliens seeking day-laborer jobs.
-
- Last year, the rate of TB in the northern part of Virginia
rose 17 percent. The Va. Department of Health blamed the rise on that region's
recent flood of illegal immigrants. Many strains of TB are being found
in certain neighborhoods, which are dominated by illegal Latin American
immigrants.
-
- The threats posed to our country by illegal immigration
are many. However, our political leaders will undoubtedly continue to ignore
them. Our own president is willing to place all Americans at risk, in exchange
for securing the Latino vote for the Republican Party.
-
- If left unchecked, illegal immigration will destroy this
nation one way or another.
