Many of the infected city residents came from China, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India or Mexico..."
And the areas most infected by TB in NYC exactly correspond to the areas where these diseased illegals live. Flushing = Chinese, Sunset Park = Hispanic, western Queens is a mixture. NOW YOU SEE WHY WE NEED THE WALL---do we need to have active TB carriers in our midst? Do you want your kids to sit in a classroom filled with active TB cases? I well remember getting notices from the school nurse, WELL into the semester, warning me not to let So & So into my class because they lacked required vaccinations. They had been allowed to sit in the class next to the other kids plenty long enough for them to have infected everyone. Why the school nurse waited months to send out this notice was always beyond me.
Something to look forward to.
Unvetted, never vaccinated illegal aliens!
Could it be all those fraudulently documented foreigners????
...wonder if other sanctuary cities are hiding their numbers....

CDC: One in Three NYC Babies Is Aborted
(2014)
New York City continues to claim the title of America’s abortion capital. The Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) latest Abortion Surveillance report (for 2014) reveals that one in three babies is aborted in the five boroughs of New York City.......
from the article:
“There were 613 reported cases in 2017, compared to 556 in 2016.
TB has been on the decline in the city since peaking at 3,811 cases in 1992....
“The TB rate in NYC is 7.5 per 100,000 persons, more than double the provisional 2017 national rate of 2.8 per 100,000 persons,”
Illegals of all stripes from crap-hole countries. Ain’t diversity grand?
I had TB. I lived and worked in the following countries:
1 USA
2 Iran
3 Venezuela
4 United Kingdom
5 Norway
6 Oman
7 Ireland (that is where the first symptoms presented shortly after Oman)
8 Nigeria
9 Bolivia
9 France
9 Egypt
I do not know where I caught it, but my bet is Oman.
Anyone surprised by this? Not me.
Maybe we need to open up the Ellis Island health check station again.
Remember when all immigrants were screened by a MD for TB and other dangerous infections? Why is it a 3rd world country can require a traveler to get a bunch of vaccines before entering their country, yet a person with Ebola can freely enter the US.
Thank you so much, dear cuddly, illiterate undocumented "refugees."
And thanks also to the elected criminals and other imbeciles.

Wasn't that around the time that Ronald Reagan was suckered by the Dim-o-cratics into a "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" ---- that wasn't?
I was surprised recently to learn that there are actually 12 different ways to lie...
America, in the early 1900s screened every immigrant coming over on ships for symptoms of disease. If they had a serious communicable disease they were quarantined. If they had something real bad, they were sent back on the ship.
"...TB disproportionately affects foreign-born New Yorkers — accounting for 86 percent of all cases in the city.
Many of the infected city residents came from China, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India or Mexico...
do we need to have active TB carriers in our midst?
Do you want your kids to sit in a classroom filled with active TB cases?"
Bring back the Ellis Island medical compound,
and assure native citizens that new arrivals are not bringing communicable diseases here !
Medical evaluations are just as important as are background checks.
NYC has a bad case of Sanctuary TB, closely followed by the black syph!
NYC motto:
We Bring The $h!thole Here!
Over a quarter of my grandparent’s siblings died of TB in the early 1900s. 5 out of 23.
Democrats, importing and cultivating diseases for over 50 years.
