Two things to keep in mind: Latin Americans are carriers and we are bringing illegals in in record numbers

They don't always flush toilet paper and an increasing number of businesses are putting trash cans in restrooms. (Whole Foods in Vienna, I'm looking at you! ).

Do the math....[/quote]
Wrong round worms have have been with us a long time. They took sewage samples back in the 1970's to determine the level of infection in the U.S. population. Yes there were round worm in the general population.

Now these immigrants were really dirty, but you know they were white and that does not fit your world view.
[quote]While digging up the bones of Richard III, who was born in 1452 and ruled England from 1483 to 1485, scientists took soil samples from within the grave. They then looked for evidence of parasites in order to better understand his health and diet. Within the soil where the king's pelvis once rested, they found a large number of ancient eggs from roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides). As a control, they also took a soil sample from inside Richard III's skull and from the grave outside the bounds of the body. They found no eggs in the skull sample, and only a small number — 15 times fewer eggs — in that soil, suggesting a background level of contamination from sewage, said Piers Mitchell, a physician and biological anthropologist at the University of Cambridge.

I guess there was modern facilities back in 1450s England. Good to know!

Note the sewage issues. Who do you think has a more modern sewage system - the US or the parts of Latin America where these illegal immigrants are coming from?

Hint: they don't flush toilet paper. Sewage system can't handle it.

So it doesn't matter how long they've been here. What matters is whether or not we are importing people with infestation and poor bathroom sanitation habits.[/quote]
