 Annmairi says: What's the mystery? Millions of filthy illegal immigrants flooding into our country and they can't figure out where the bedbugs are coming from??? Dear Annmairi: in my small country Slovenia (in central Europe) we have almost no bedbugs (though we have similar climate as it is in America). By your way of thinking I have to be concerned about ("filthy"...?) Americans who visiting Slovenia, because they have bedbugs everywhere in their big country, so they could bring this squalor to us... Sorry… It is definitely too simple to blame others for everything, don't you think? I read the hole clip and there is more information about it.... "Bedbugs were nearly eradicated after World War II, when exterminators and homeowners used DDT to get rid of the pests." "Experts say bedbugs are making a comeback because of increased global travel and a shift toward less-toxic pest control. As people are backing away from harsh chemicals and indoor spraying, the bugs are becoming increasingly resistant to the pesticides". "We don't use as harsh chemicals as we used to, we don't spray mattresses with insecticide before selling them anymore, and the bugs are getting increasingly resistant to the few chemicals we have left," said public health biologist Laura Krueger, who wrot... Hi Sorgalim Thanks for your very objective explanation! duvelic: First...I did not say that every person that travels is filthy. But we have a HUGE problem in the US with illegal immigrants. You obviously are not familiar the sanitary hazards that most of these people pose. They are filthy in large part due to their being uneducated...as a result of their gov'ts oppression. Second, Slovenia's climate can hardly be compared to the climate in the US. The US is nearly 49,000% larger than Slovenia. We have a lot of different climates. And the bedbugs have afflicted every state...not just one particular climate. I don't know how many filthy Americans can afford to travel abroad. So far, I don't think we have a travel entitlement (welfare) program f... hehe, Annmairi, you have had illegal immigrants coming in from Mexico for the entire history of your country... you have had a huge amount of Mexicans coming into your country for the last 30 years; in the last 5 years, if anything, the amount of people making it through has reduced, and it most definitely has not gone up!! so if you can explain why these Mexicans were not filthy 6 years ago but are filthy now, I'd be more than glad to read on... I'm not trying to ridicule you by the way, i just find no other way to express my thought on your point of view... Rodrigo102920: You can say the moon is made out of cheese, but I'd love to see the facts you failed to cite. I just researched what you said and I can't find any data to corroborate your declining illegal immigrants. What I see are steady and under-stated numbers over the past 15 years. By "under-stated" I mean that they had estimated one number, but found out later that the actual number was much higher....to the tune of 400K - 500K per year. Just one site: http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=research_research9605#illegal i don't need to support that evidence, even though i can, you failed to answer the actual point of my post... why is it that this started in the last five years when Mexicans have had a nice flow for the last thirty, did they suddenly get dirty in the last five years? i would support my other statement, but it's simply unnecessary, you focused on the wrong ideas i think aniway, these numbers may look interesting as well... http://www.migrationpolicy.org/pubs/FS13_immigration_US_2006.pdf but in any case, it just seems to me that your hipothesis is simply too arbitrary to take as 'the truth' over the rest of us in 'denial'.... this is really the point of everything i've written previously Whatever, rodrigo. A person, or home, does NOT need to be "filthy" to have a bedbug climb into anything they are carrying. Those $38,000 Berkin purses can be set down on the same filthy floor at a posh restaurant as an 'immigrant' setting their handbag down. Both have a bedbug crawl in, or stick to the bottom, and viola! BEDBUGS!!!!!!!! Rich, poor, nice Hotel, or downtrodden Motels, are in the same league. They have mattresses slept on by possibly a different person each night. Bedbugs, or any vector, does NOT DISCRIMINATE!. |
