U.S.
Increases Screening of Immigrants for
Tuberculosis, by Susan Sachs, New York
Times, January 3, 2000:
"Both the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the American Medical
Association said recently that the key to
eliminating TB in the United States is
eliminating it in the foreign-born
population."
Health is one of the
unreported dimensions of the current immigration
crisis. There's some good material on the
excellent Alamance Independent website.
Anyone wondered about West Nile encephalitis? -
