When doctors told Francisco Santos he had tuberculosis Friday, health officials said the Gwinnett County 17-year-old refused to believe it.
Then the wiry, dark-haired youth refused to submit to any treatment. Worse, he said he was walking out of the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville and heading back to his home country of Mexico, officials said.
So says the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
So let me get this straight; we have an illegal alien, with TB, who probably had it when he came here… illegally. Lord knows how many people he’s infected since he got here. Let’s face it; the government is not exactly top notch in detecting such problems. They usually have to be hit over the head with a sledgehammer several times to attract their attention.
Do we need any more evidence as to why the border should be closed?
