So Anyway, Gabi Ford turned to Dave Ray and babbled:
DR> MS> IMMIGRATION AS HEALTH RISK
DR> MS> The principal cause of the epidemic: 80% of the plants' 900 Mexican
DR> MS> immigrant workers were unvaccinated.
DR> MS> Either most all of the workers involved are wetbacks or there
DR> This is a demeaning and racist remark. Kinda blows the whole point of
DR> what you are trying to say. All of this sounds anecdotal anyway.
GF> All this was just a thinly veiled umbrella> attempt to spread racist propaganda. _That_ was the whole
GF> point, make no mistake about it.
GF> Kinda sad, actually...so much resentment in one person.
Well, he did provide a copy of the article afterwards to back up his
facts, but his use of the racist term "wetback" showed his real
motives. I know damn well the paper where he got the article didn't use
that word!
GF> I think he might benefit from a mood elevator. :)
Or a more open mind. It is true that illegal immigrants do bring their
health problems with them. In health care facilities here and in Texas I
have encountered TB, Rubella and a host of other diseases not normally
seen in our "resident" population. But calling them names is not going to
help the problem.

Gotta know where this came from.
