Illegal Aliens Threaten Blood Supply

Among the countless prices we pay for letting moonbattery prevent us from defending our territorial integrity is an unregulated influx of bizarre diseases from Third-World backwaters. Among these is Chagas Disease — a potentially fatal illness that threatens our blood supply thanks to illegal aliens.

In an effort to "identify emerging threats and provide the tools needed to help keep blood safe," the FDA has approved a new test to screen blood donors for the blood-borne parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that causes the disease.

Concerns about the spread of Chagas disease in the USA through blood transfusion have heightened due to the massive influx of people from Latin America, where the disease is common. Needless to say we cannot count on people being screened at the border, because we effectively have no border.
