Migrants don't bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says

NBC Fake News ^

People who oppose immigration often argue that migrants bring disease with them, and that they then become a burden to health systems in their new countries because they’re so sick.

But that's not true, a team of experts argued in a new report released Wednesday.

And they contribute to the economy, prevent crime, and improve education scores.

[Slyfox]

Are the migrants in this country illegally? Then they are “illegal” and they aren’t aliens.

[Regulator]

Up is down! Black is White! Immigrunts good! Americans Bad!

[Blue Collar Christian]

Even the stupid Mexican government knows better than this.

[lee martell]

Yeah, right. Tell me another one.

Getting tuberculosis from immigrants shows that you love diversity.

You didn’t make that 0bama, 0bama’s minions amplified your 0bamas and spread those “benefits” [fertilizer] around.

Ok, I read the whole tortured article to find the argument to support the headline.

The closest I got to them having fewer diseases is this

The two-year study found that international migrants are less likely than people in their host countries to die of heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases and other ills. The exceptions are hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV. But the study also found these infections are generally only spread within the affected immigrant communities and not to the wider population.

So, yes, the 25 year old men crossing over have fewer non-communicable old people’s diseases, but they have more communicable diseases. The way they fight disease is by working in health care, as if we wouldn’t have healthcare workers if they didn’t come over. I don’t believe the study makes a distinction between legal and illegal, either.

And in other news:

They all are graduates in STEM with advanced degrees from prestigious central american institutions here to improve all aspects of our society. They even bring with them the cure for cancer and solutions to all societal problems that vex us.

Do I have to add /s?

I would suggest that the ‘experts’ go and spend seven days in a holding facility with one-hundred migrants...of which seven will have active tuberculosis. I suspect the ‘experts’ will offer excuses why they don’t have time or think this might be unwise.

Yeah. The measles outbreak verifies this. /sarc. When the virulent Ebola outbreak gets here, maybe the leftscum who see their family members die might get a clue. That’s assuming (probably wrongly) they even care about their families.
