And what's with AAA's obsession with immigrants? Why is that relevant to the story?
The original story didn't say who the guy was. As the article made clear, the vast majority of TB is carried by illegal immigrants. If this guy had been a non-US citizen, I wanted to know why he was allowed back into the country. As it turned out, the government did make a feeble attempt to keep him out but a Border Agent apparently decided to ignore the warning.
I don't consider worrying about illegal immigrants bringing deadly diseases into our country to be racist fear-mongering, if that was your point. It is another way the government has let us down and failed in its primary responsibility to safeguard our country.

i couldnt agree more, yet another facet of the understated cost of immigration
it's so bazzare that USA had better disease screening of immigrants in 1910, than now
Quote from LT701:
my feelings toward this guy can be summarized as follows:
suppose the roles were reversed, (you had that TB), and you sat next to his family, and you exposed all of THEM, with your selfishness?
what would this personal injury lawyer say to the jury about you, when he sued you for it?
that pretty much sums up how i feel about him
we all know the answer to this.. this vulture would turn the screws.... no doubt about it.
