Drugs, Terrorists, White Slaving, and Tropical Diseases - all parts of the culture of lawlessness permeating through our porous southern border

The Rutherford Institute - Commentary:
" There is the sad, continuing story, writes George Putnam (Newsmax.com), 'particularly in those states that border Mexico, where there is a steady, silent, pervasive invasion of the United States by an unarmed army carrying an assembly line of diseases into the heart of America.' Further details can be found in a report entitled 'Immigration’s Silent Invasion, Deadly Consequences' where the authors state: 'The invasion of illegal aliens pouring over the borders of the United States is taking an ominous turn. They are not alone! Their bodies may carry Hepatitis A, B & C, tuberculosis, leprosy and Chagas Disease. Chagas is a nasty parasitic bug common in Latin America where 18 million people are infected and 50,000 deaths occur annually.'”

So writes John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute in a commentary on WorldNetDaily.com.

This problem has been building for a long time. A generation ago public health officials were noting the increasing incidence of TB and some other diseases in places like Fairfax County, Virginia which received large numbers of refugees from Indochina. Now we are adding South American and African diseases to the mix of medical problems we face.
