Leprosy

WorldNet Daily has an article, Are illegals making U.S. a leper colony?, and it appears illegals are bringing leprosy into the US. (Hat tip to Mover Mike)

"For example, in 40 years, only 900 persons were afflicted by leprosy in the U.S.; in the past three years, more than 7,000 cases have been presented."

Dr. William Levis, head of the New York Hansen's Disease Clinic, told Columbia News Service.

"This is a real phenomenon. It's a public health threat. New York is endemic now, and nobody's noticed."

"Levis thinks America could be on the verge of an epidemic."
