'contagions' makes it sound like they are 'lepers' and they could have ailments that crop up in places called refugee camps rather than it being STD's that are flying off them in any direction.
So wait, I'm a bigot because I said "contagions" yet you just claimed they are STD riddled. Irony AND hypocrisy all in one post. Far out.

One of the things about the European migration to the Americas was the introduction of diseases that the indigenous peoples had no immunities for. Millions of native Americans died unnaturally from these diseases. Seems like when people want to migrate to another part of the world they will infuse things that really aren't meant to be where they go. Everything is messed up due to people not being able to live in this world without having their fvcking little squabbles and disputes. And the innocent always have to pay the price for these fvcking azzhoes immaturity and short sighted , retarded war mentalities.

In 2000, when my wife came to Canada from the USA, they made her do x-rays for TB (even though she was pregnant). They would not bypass this process for any reason. I am not sure why they would be bypassing the normal process now. I guess they gotta meet their quotas.

Was your wife in a war zone? Was she somewhere where the medical conditions are over crowded and primitive at best? Really, aside from draft-dodgers in the sixties, I hadn't heard of refugees from the United States since the Underground Railroad derailed.

She wasn't a refugee. But from what I understand, the process of becoming landed once received is supposed to be the same. Just the part about why they should be allowed to become landed already 'filled out' for refugees.

Infectious diseases are just as dangerous whether the carrier is a refugee or an immigrant. It's madness to let a contaminated person into the country just because they are refugees.
Not that many years ago tuberculosis was stamped out in Canada. Then it was brought back in by refugees/immigrants. Same thing with head lice. God only knows what else they bring with them!
But I guess that's okay. They've had a hard life so we will all have to lower our standards and take our chances.
As long as 50 years ago all food handlers in Canada had to be tested regularly for TB. I know because I was one of them. It was that vigilance that stamped out the disease.

On Power and Politics last night a certain interviewee was asked twice point blank about the strain the refugees would put on our health care, pointing out that many Canadians don't even have a family doctor.
Twice the question was completely ignored, just some evasive rhetoric about 'we have the health care check covered, we can do it'.
All we hear from the media is glowing reports about the refugee situation. All legitimate concerns are completely ignored. Could it possibly be that the media is instructed to NOT talk about any negative aspects? Surely not in Canada! We have free speech!
Right!

It seems that the refugees are coming regardless of anything, so we may as well treat them for any health issues and bite the bullet. And remember. Remember stuff like Harpy was being cautious about the issue and the Sunshine Superman shoved us into it without checking the waters first.

Do you have a big kettle and an oar? I expect they'll be stable under treatment as they arrive. There are a lot more doctors over there than there are here. Thank money-first politicians for that
