How can we deal with all the illegals who are bringing in TB, Hepatitis C, AIDS and Leprosy?

I am from the UK and travel extensively with my job.\nThree years ago, I contracted full-blown TB and was very ill for 18 months.\nAfter undergoing extensive treatment on a monthly basis, I was cleared.\nMy consultant told me that cases in the UK had risen "dramatically" in the previous two years.\nHe asked me about travel and said "off the record" that it was due to the amount of time I spent hanging around airports because of new security measures.\nOur laws are very strict about contagious diseases and I was kept in quarantine for two weeks.\nAll my family. close friends and daily work colleagues had to go for a scan. Fortunately, they were all clear.\nBut I do agree with you. Not just with illegal immigrants. I think that all international travellers should undergo a scan before departure.\nIt is all down to time and money!

Limit immigration from Arabic countries. Refuse to listen to religious propaganda. Outlaw all religious propaganda in prisons.

Don't treat them like the Plague.  Be supportive and listen to their fears.  If they're full blown status, run errands for them if they're too weak, cook them meals, read the Bible with them to give them peace.\n\nIf they're just HIV stage, don't fret, they'll be healthy for years if they take care of themselves.  \n\nGood luck and pray.

Stop giving them money and aid. Foreign aid gives those likely to be corrupt an object to their corruption.

The ONLY way we will ever solve the illegal immigrant problem is to take away the incentive for them to come here. If they couldn't get jobs and free social services without legal status, they wouldn't keep coming.

How about this?\n\nPenalize (harshly) businesses that employ illegals. Multiple offenses = jail time. \n\nYou should be required to match the social security number to a national database. Social security should be required to assist. \n\nNo SSN = No Job, No Apartment, No Drivers License, No Bank account. Nada, Zip, Nichts, Nunya.\n\nWhen the money dries up, so will the flood of illegals.

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.

Stop the leaks you can;\n Close all immigration till we work out our own problems. \n Fine and jail those who hire (just like selling liquor too minors-many will obey the best they  can if they know there is a stiff penalty).\n Deport and fine (if they have money on them) always.\n No benefits to Illegals-none not even school\n And yes get very tough at crossings since nice didn't work.

The problem in the third world countries is not money to be solved by these aids. The problem is corruption, ignorance and social underdevelopment. People there should wake up, thats their only way.

My solution is to cut off any and all government assistance, immediately to anyone who can't prove citizenship and that includes any child born to a non-citizen. When they can't live off our bounty, they will deport themselves.

For those that say you can't do anything about it...well you are dreaming. We can and will do something about it. All we really have to do is start enforcing the law. Cut off all federal funding to states that have sanctuary cities. Start arresting the mayors of those cities and throwing them in jail for aiding and abetting criminals. Expose the ACLU for the anti-American slime that they are. Pass more ordinances like Hazelton. No more automatic citizenship for offspring of illegals. If your parents are illegal so are you. No more freebies. If the government puts their mind to it they can make life so miserable for those that employ and house them that they will be forced to stop. No job, no housing and they will go home..

I'm not going to accuse you of ignorance or call you insensitive- I understand you are merely thinking, and have asked for thoughts.\n\nThere are several problems with this proposal- \n\nFirst, how would we identify every person on this planet who has AIDS?  Not everyone with the disease has a medical record- children in Africa, for example, may not even be aware that they're afflicted.  \n\nThis does not speak toward those who carry HIV or AIDS but do not yet show symptoms- so again, HOW can we determine who has the disease?\n\nSecond, where do you propose we place all these people?  They will not speak the same language, they will not come from the same culture- AIDS is not a disease which afflicts only one population- it's global.  \n\nCan you imagine the cost to place millions of people who don't speak the same language in a "colony"?  \n\nThird, what to do with them once they are in "the colony"?  Let them fend for themselves?  Again, the cost to provide adequate housing and resources (education, food, entertainment) would be astronomical.\n\nThis idea simply wouldn't work, and it's cruel and inhumane.  Let us not forget that persons with AIDS aren't mindless zombies, they are people, and they most certainly wouldn't allow themselves to be shipped off somewhere.  Imagine the fighting this would cause!\n\nThe best way to get rid of AIDS (barring a vaccine and cure) is NOT to contract it- to prevent new cases from occurring.  This is accomplished through education and common sense.  \n\nThe money it would take for your proposed colony would be much better spent researching a cure, educating those who don't have access to education, and helping those with the disease live more comfortable lives.

We need to allot more tax money to care for them. And I don't mean to give money to them. Our government agencies need to see that they get food, shelter,clothes and help in finding a job. It is a shame that we spend so much money on other countries and not enough on our own people. I know that we have and will always have people that will bum money, cause they are too sorry to work, but there is also people that are sick in the head or for some reasons out of their control they are down on their luck. We need people that work at the shelters to be able to figure out who is needy and who is not.
