They need to start testing blood before it is passed on in transfusion. Bad blood is a problem in Central and South America. We don't want to make the same mistake that was made with aids-tainted blood transfusions.

Oh yes, if it weren't for "3-rd. worlders" [sic], the United States would be disease free and without any climate or migratory changes whatsoever and everything would be crime and germ free. What racist garbage! The bad tomatoes in the 2008 Salmonella outbreak/hysteria ended up being traced to IMPORTED winter tomatoes mostly from the state of Sinaloa. Perhaps if you researched a tad before jumping to false, racist conclusions and repeating the thoughts of fools, you wouldn't have to appear so misinformed and shallow. Kissing bugs are in the family Reduviidae, and have been in the United States for years. If you want to live in an isolationist, immigrant hostile country, North Korea is the place for you.

ANOTHER reason to keep the filthy 3-rd. worlders out... Killer bees, drug dealers/kidnappers (they are ONLY here to 'work'), pythons in the everglades, snakeheads/asian carp, and more, are ALL 'invasive species'. Remember when you could not get tomatoes because of Salmonella? (they were *hitting in the fields with what they were 'harvesting')....
