Many of the "illegals" came in legally and let their green card expire. I know a man who has a green card.
It took over nine months to get it renewed, so he was an illegal while waiting. He wants to become a citizen, but it takes a lot of money.
It's about $550 to renewal a green card for every 10 years.
About $750 to naturalized and it's good for a life time.
No, you are not an "illegal" if you let your green card expires if you already paid for green card renewal fee/application. USCIS issues you an ADIT stamp or I-551 while your renewal application is in process. ADIT stamp /I-551 serves as a temporary green card/proof of residence.
Risk Factors for TB in the United States
US Born
U.S. born and non-U.S.–born persons
TB disease in the United States is most common among people who travel to or who were born in countries with high rates of TB.
In 2017, a total of 70.1% of reported TB cases in the United States occurred among non-U.S.-born persons.
The case rate among non-U.S.–born persons (14.7 cases per 100,000 persons) was approximately 15 times higher than among U.S.-born persons (1.0 cases per 100,000 persons).
Outbreak of Tuberculosis Among Guatemalan Immigrants in Rural Minnesota, 2008
We described the outbreak investigation and control measures after the Minnesota Department of Health identified a cluster of tuberculosis (TB) cases among Guatemalan immigrants within three rural Minnesota counties in August 2008.
You do know that our CIA overthrew the democratically elected governments in Guatemala and Honduras, which led directly to the execution of over 100,000 Mayans, the native population.
First of all, it's not like the CIA did this with the knowledge and approval of American citizens. Second of all, the native population has been overthrown in every country in our hemisphere. Should they all emigrate to the United States?
Impact of Immigration on the Molecular Epidemiology of Tuberculosis in Rhode Island
While foreign-born persons constitute only 11% of the population in the state of Rhode Island, they account for more than 65% of incident tuberculosis (TB) annually.
TB transmission between the foreign-born and U.S.-born population should not be neglected, since 80% of the mixed clusters of foreign- and U.S.-born persons arose from a foreign-born source case. We conclude that timely access to routine screening and treatment for latent TB infection for immigrants is vital for disease elimination in Rhode Island.
