Immigration debate a new symptom of swine flu outbreak - Los Angeles Times: "Reporting from Houston -- As word spread Wednesday that the first U.S. death from the swine flu outbreak was of a Mexican toddler being treated in a Houston children's hospital, the baffling illness began bleeding over into the fevered national debate over illegal immigration.
Groups favoring a crackdown on illegal immigrants cited the death as proof of their long-standing contention that uncontrolled borders pose a public health danger to U.S. citizens. Conservative talk-radio hosts invoked scenarios directly blaming illegal border crossers from Mexico for introducing the illness into the United States."
