That's the biggest reason each individual that applies legally gets a medical check-up, for contagious diseases and vaccinations up to date.
Don't pass the medical exam, no entry into US.
TB disease in the United States is most common among people who travel to or who were born in countries with high rates of TB.
•In 2016, a total of 68.5% of reported TB cases in the United States occurred among non-U.S.–born persons.
•In 2017, a total of 70.1% of reported TB cases in the United States occurred among non-U.S.-born persons.
TB case counts were highest in California, Texas, New York (including New York City), and Florida. These four states accounted for just under half of the total cases in the United States.

I wonder what those states have in common?
What exactly do you mean by that last comment? Are you claiming that those states have a higher percentage of Asians, African Americans, and Pacific Islanders? I see exactly why you failed to add the following stat to these others you are trying to use to show that Mexican Immigrants bring TB to the United States
TB Infection rate per 100,000 in United States
Pacific Islanders...…………......19.1
Asians...…………………………....17.7
Black/African Americans...…… 4.7
Hispanic/Latino...……………….. 4.4
Got to keep out all the dirty, disease-ridden Mexican though, right?
