The logic of your position appears lacking. Kindly demonstrate the connection between illegality and health risk.

Except for one big caveat... Decades and centuries of immigration to the US and there hasn't been a super plague brought by immigrants infecting thousands, then millions. Vaccinations also help prevent the spread of disease. She would know all of this if her specialty was diseases, instead of hormones, and practiced more then she blogs at conservative pundit and world nut daily.

This hysteria was already debunked in 2007. This was probably the most humorous one.
So, you think we should DROP our medical exams for immigrants?

The fact that you think illegals , people breaking our laws are not health risk lacks logic

None is required nor suggested. The illegal state has no relationship to health.

Do you hold speeders are sick? Con men have cancer?

I don't know where you think you are going with this but legal immigrants and citizens normally have health checks whether they be speeders or not. Cancer isn't a communicable desease. When you have millions pouring over our border illegally coming from squalid and unsanitary conditions and that don't have access to healthcare practitioners or don't see them it raises the risks of communicable deseases a great deal. To deny this is beyond comprehension.

Do you actually get a health check when you cross the border? I have spent significant time in Mexico and then flown back to the US and I received no health check. You mean us gringos are immune to the Mexican bugs? I believe us legal border crossers outnumber the illegal ones.

I am unaware of any law or rationale why a speeder would get his health checked.

We don't have millions sneaking across the border. Perhaps hundreds of thousands over an annual period.

We reasonably require health checks on immigrants to avoid taxing the US health system with new members who are in ill health. Probably be good if we could check new illegals as well but I don't see an obvious mechanism to do that short of legalization.

I have entered the US well over 100 times. Probably 20 or 30 of those times accompanied by foreigners. I am not aware of ever having a health check nor of any of the foreigners being subject to one.
