Many illegal aliens in Miami harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami-Dade County health officials announced the first locally acquired case of dengue fever in Miami in nearly sixty years, and urge residents to step up measures to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes. Authorities say the infected individual "made a full recovery from this illness". They added that the diagnosis was made based on signs and symptoms, as well as confirmed laboratory tests. The patient, male, had not travelled outside the county in over two weeks, meaning he was infected locally.

I know an American born citizen that had Dengue recently. She is a female so I guess there is more than one case.

TB has always been here. Very common within the homeless. The department of health makes sure people follow their treatments by sending social workers to people's homes who watch the patients take the pills. The medicine and all medical bills are covered. They have a TB hospital in Palm Beach county. The department of health also treats other contagious diseases.

It is socialized medicine but early detecting the problem prevents widespread. Many people stop being contagious after a few weeks in treatment.
