Wetbacks bring the plague

Thirteen cases of plague including two deaths have been reported in the western United States this year, the highest number of cases in 12 years, health officials said Friday.

Seven cases were reported in New Mexico, three in Colorado, two in California and one in Texas, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Two New Mexicans died _ a 54-year-old woman who grew ill in May and a 43-year-old woman who became sick in July.

On average, about seven people a year are diagnosed with plague, CDC officials said. Fourteen cases were reported in 1994.

It's treatable with antibiotics, but health officials stress the importance of prompt diagnosis to reduce the fatality rate.

Plague is transmitted through the bites of infected fleas, but people also can get it by direct contact with infected rodents, wildlife and pets. Most people become ill one to six days after being infected.

The increase probably stems from human encroachment into areas where infected rodents live, said Hannah Gould, a CDC epidemiologist who investigated some of the cases.

After claiming in his subject line that *wetbacks* bring the plague, MrBiff copied and pasted an article which does not even mention Mexicans as possible vectors for the disease. MrBiff is a racist! And the great thing about the immigration issue is that racists like MrBiff feel empowered to express their racism in a more 'respectable' context.

The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.

Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism, and without threatening U.S. sovereignty or basic principles.
