I was wondering when the blame would be shifted to the U.S.
After all, we can’t have Mexico appearing to be a filthy, diseased, third world suckhole. Why would anyone want to leave such a paradise?

Illegal aliens are worse, since we lose the opportunity to inspect/interview them before they've entered our society. The only time we've ever closed the borders entirely was on 9/11 and it wasn't 5 minutes before Mexico and Canada were calling to complain. Patriot-

No charges, to my knowledge have been filed, and I think it was a publicity stunt on her part with the help of a few pals like “Sign Man” Fernandez. Thanks for the correction. I meant to say Manassas Park vice the City. It's strange that the media has not followed-up on the story since the Virginia State police were investigating the incident. Neither the MJM nor the radio and tv stations that reported the "incident" have given an update. It's easy to see how quick they are reporting without having the facts. If I were the police officer, I think I would now own a newspaper, and some radio and TV stations. I would also see that the accuser, with the help of ICE was on her way back to the jungles of El Salvadore. Big Dog said on 25 Apr 2009 at 4:14 pm: Flag comment

Michael Savage wrote a "book" on the diseases (like TB) that immigrants bring into the Country. As I understand it, at one time, immigrants entering the Country were given physicals. Those who did not pass the physical were not allowed to enter. Now, an immigrant stands a better chance of being cleared for entry if they have some health or other problem - the bigger the problem, the better! Of course, there are no issues with illegals entering our Country! Michael's book was never published as no publisher wanted to publish it since it was too political incorrect. Maybe if a sufficient number of us survive the pandemic, someone will publish it! Also, I think the info. on this flu threat/potential was out there much earlier than reported by our PC press.
