Diseases that were once eradicated in this country are now making a comeback because of illegal immigrants. The liberals aren't concerned with this, though.

When I returned from Desert Storm, my PPD (replaced the old Tine test) was positive. Chest x-rays were negative, so I had only been exposed to someone with TB. I had to take isoniazid for six months.
