And from most places South of our border. Donald Trump took a lot of heat for making some statements about illegal immigrants from South of the border.
Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
WaPo immediately launched into a tirade about “rates” of crimes which is entirely irrelevant to the discussion. It also conveniently omitted any mention of the Sinaloa cartel or the wonderful drug trade Mexico shares with us.
Let’s have a look at what is is we must now accept, presumably because we don’t have enough of these diseases.
AIDS
In 2009 obama lifted a ban on entry to the US by those with AIDS.
President Obama on Friday announced the end of a 22-year ban on travel to the United States by people who had tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS, fulfilling a promise he made to gay advocates and acting to eliminate a restriction he said was “rooted in fear rather than fact.”
At a White House ceremony, Mr. Obama announced that a rule canceling the ban would be published on Monday and would take effect after a routine 60-day waiting period. The president had promised to end the ban before the end of the year.
“If we want to be a global leader in combating H.I.V./AIDS, we need to act like it,” Mr. Obama said. “Now, we talk about reducing the stigma of this disease, yet we’ve treated a visitor living with it as a threat.”
The US has the highest rate of AIDS infection of any developed nation. But we need more.
Obama has also decided that we’re running low on sexually transmitted diseases and it’s time to stock up again.
Now the Obama HHS has announced it will also remove chancroid, granuloma inguinale and lymphogranuloma venereum from its list of communicable diseases “of public health significance.” The new rule is set to take effect March 28.
Jane Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, said this new rule shows the Obama administration’s disregard for its own constituents.
“I think it’s one more piece of evidence that they are reckless, irresponsible and unconcerned about the welfare of the American people – especially women,” Orient told WND. “It’s kind of a war on women to let in people who might be infecting women with a loathsome disease.”
Predictably, the argument returns again to rates:
“Potential for onward transmission of these infections to the U.S. population is deemed to be extremely low,” HHS wrote in announcing the rule change. “While we do not have country or region-specific rates for these diseases, our review of the literature supports the supposition that the potential introduction of additional cases into the United States by aliens is likely to have a negligible impact on the U.S. population.”
“These primarily tropical infections can be prevented through improved personal hygiene (11) and protected sex (use of a condom),” HHS continued. “New infections can be effectively treated and cured with a short, uncomplicated course of antibiotic therapy.”
At whose cost? Speaking of cost, the HHS seems not to give a damn:
According to a Center for Immigration Studies report, the HHS admits there will most likely be more STD infections in the United States as a result of the new policy. Regarding the monetary cost, the HHS secretary said the cost of welcoming in aliens with these infections would be less than $100 million per year, which the department terms “not economically significant.”
$100 million is not significant? To me it sure is. I bet it would be significant to anyone infected by an illegal. Now our invaders bring us Zika.
And tuberculosis
“The sheer number of people who live, work, and travel between the United States and Mexico has led to a sharing of culture and commerce, as well as the easy transportation of infectious diseases,” CDC writes on its website. “The large movement of people across the United States and Mexico border has led to an increase in health issues, particularly infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.”
Thing is, rates don’t matter when someone in your family is victimized.
Or murdered- like Kate Steinle, Spencer Govlach, Jamiel Shaw or Sarah Root. When you lose a family member you don’t give a goddam about rates. The rate for murder by illegals should be zero. Period.
We are not taking in the best and the brightest. We’re scraping the bottom. Proof? ever see Mexico trying to stop them from leaving? Ever see Mexico incentivize potential emmigrants remaining there?
Nope.
In fact, Mexico has been working with the USDA to push food stamp use by illegals. Mexico’s President is “indignant” that the US would deport illegal aliens.
Obama has no intention of deporting anyone:
A top Homeland Security official told Border Patrol agents the Obama administration has “no intention of deporting” many of the illegal immigrants caught trying to sneak into the country, ordering instead that they be released so they don’t clog up the courts, a leading advocate for agents testified to Congress.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the orders are a new “catch and release” policy, which he said “amounts to amnesty” because it means many illegal immigrants are never asked to leave the country.
The Mexican government is now meddling in internal affairs of the US.
(Bloomberg) — Mexico is mounting an unprecedented effort to turn its permanent residents in the U.S. into citizens, a status that would enable them to vote — presumably against Donald Trump.
Officially, Mexico says it respects U.S. sovereignty and has no strategy to influence the result of the presidential race. Yet Mexican diplomats are mobilizing for the first time to assist immigrants in gaining U.S. citizenship, hosting free workshops on naturalization.
“This is a historic moment where the Mexican consulate will open its doors to carry out these types of events in favor of the Mexican community,” Adrian Sosa, a spokesman for the consulate in Chicago, said before an event on March 19. In Dallas, about 250 permanent residents attended the consulate’s first “citizenship clinic” in February and another 150 in its second in March. In Las Vegas, the turnout topped 500.
Mexico doesn’t want them back. They do want America.
It’s enough to make you want to vote for Trump.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
The problem is with the language. There is nothing wrong with having standards before allowing admission into the US. But Trump uses ugly and intemperate words that obscure whatever genuine content there may be behind his proposals.
But this is unsurprising. This is what we get from politicians generally: a lot of hot air with no real thought to actual policy. Trump is just a newer and nastier version of the old way of doing business.

Chancroid ??? never heard of that before sounds disgusting.
So when I looked it up yes it is disgusting but since there were only 6 cases reported in the USA in 2014 I would say that it isn’t a big risk either for society as a whole or me personally
http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats14/other.htm
Now who is it that is trying to frighten us about the risks of these horrid STDs?
It is the President of the American Association of Physicans and Surgeons. Well THAT sounds important even though I personally never heard of them, which is why I had to look them up. And boy wasn’t that a hoot !!! AAPS is a tiny, but total wacko group. of about 5000. Dr J you HAD to have known that. Are you yourself a member ? If so that might explain previous posts like the invasion of kids with measles

Advocacy of controversial ideas[edit]
Articles and commentaries published in the journal have argued a number of non-mainstream or scientifically discredited claims,[1] including:
that human activity has not contributed to climate change, and that global warming will be beneficial and thus not a cause for concern;[41][42]
that HIV does not cause AIDS;[43]
that the “gay male lifestyle” shortens life expectancy by 20 years.[44]
that there is a link between abortion and the risk of breast cancer.[7]
that there are possible links between autism and vaccinations.[7]
A series of articles by pro-life authors published in the journal argued for a link between abortion and breast cancer.[45][46] Such a link has been rejected by the scientific community, including the U.S. National Cancer Institute,[47] the American Cancer Society,[48] and the World Health Organization,[49] among other major medical bodies.[50]
A 2003 paper published in the journal, claiming that vaccination was harmful, was criticized for poor methodology, lack of scientific rigor, and outright errors by the World Health Organization[51] and the American Academy of Pediatrics.[52] A National Public Radio piece mentioned inaccurate information published in the Journal and said: “The journal itself is not considered a leading publication, as it’s put out by an advocacy group that opposes most government involvement in medical care.”[53]
The Journal has also published articles advocating politically and socially conservative policy positions, including:
that the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are unconstitutional;[54]
that “humanists” have conspired to replace the “creation religion of Jehovah” with evolution;[55]
that “anchor babies” are valuable to undocumented immigrants, particularly if the babies are disabled.[1]
Leprosy error[edit]
In a 2005 article published in the Journal, Madeleine Cosman argued that illegal immigrants were carriers of disease, and that immigrants and “anchor babies” were launching a “stealthy assault on [American] medicine.”[56] In the article, Cosman claimed that “Suddenly, in the past 3 years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy” because of illegal aliens.[56] The journal’s leprosy claim was cited and repeated by Lou Dobbs as evidence of the dangers of illegal immigration.[53][57]
Publicly available statistics show that the 7,000 cases of leprosy occurred during the past 30 years, not the past three as Cosman claimed.[58] James L. Krahenbuhl, director of the U.S. government’s leprosy program, stated that there had been no significant increase in leprosy cases, and that “It [leprosy] is not a public health problem—that’s the bottom line.”[57] National Public Radio reported that the Journal article “had footnotes that did not readily support allegations linking a recent rise in leprosy rates to illegal immigrants.”[53] The article’s erroneous leprosy claim was pointed out by 60 Minutes,[59] National Public Radio,[53] and the New York Times[57] but has not been corrected by the Journal.[56]
Dr J you are using THEM (AAPS) as a trusted source, really raises doubts about, well, your quackiness
And No we do not have the highest HIV rate of any developed country, Russia does. there’s is about 2x the USA rate.
Let me ‘splain the Mexican situation to you. Why are almost all Mexican migrants of Amerindian descent? There are plenty of Mexicans of European descent. Where are they? Well some do come here – but as tourists … or students … or businessmen .. in planes. Because of racism inherent in the Mexican system, people of Amerindian descent have almost no economic opportunities or social mobility. So they all come here. And come and come and come.
Oh and of course the Mexican governments (federal and municipal) encourage them as an easy way to get rid of the undesirables.”Let the idiot gringos take care of them.”

Gee,
Maybe vetting the immigrants is the right thing to do.
And, maybe stopping illegal immigration completely is also the right thing to do.
Mexico uses the US as a pressure relief valve. This allows them to ignore their endemic poverty and systematic corruption rather than having to make an effort to improve the lives of their people. Regaining effective control of our southern border would force Mexico to change for the benefit of their people.
If we were to accept as true the pro-amnesty claim ‘that this mass flood of illegal immigrents will improve our economy.’ Then why is it that didn’t they improve the economy of their home nation while they were there?
