(Think of the Constitution, which tacitly condoned slavery—"importation" of "persons"—without mentioning race).

Article I, Section 9 allowed Congress to pass legislation outlawing the "Importation of Persons", but not until 1808.
But the fourth clause is a doozy: The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
Article I, Section 9 forbade Congress to forbid the slave trade (or, as the framers shamefacedly put it, "the Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit") until 1808 — twenty long years!

It seems less plausible that such a pattern could be explained solely by simultaneous importation of resistant strains, person-to-person transmission, or environmental acquisition without inter species-group genetinter species-group
Resistance in the ICU may emerge and be maintained through several mechanisms including importation of resistant strains [ 4], person-to-person clonal transmission [ 5], endogenous development of new resistance [ 6], acquisition of resistant organisms from an environmental reservoir [ 7], and horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements within and between species [ 8].
The listing of sites or of persons, the reporting of production, importation, destruction and consumption figures and the opening of doors, giving access to inspections, is not enough to create confidence that no weapons programs and proscribed items remain.
Although this hypothesis could explain the presence of CVIET haplotype parasites in Haiti, it would require an initial importation by persons with greater financial resources than the residents of the Artibonite Valley.
