US pharmaceutical companies are luring Mexican residents across the border to sell their blood for up to $400 a month.
The blood donors are using tourist visas to enter the United States and make hundreds of dollars by donating plasma up to twice a week.
Out of a total of 805 blood plasma donating sites in the United States, 43 are located near the southern border.
The border centers generate twice the amount of donors on a weekly basis than the rest of their counterparts in the rest of the country, according to ProRepublica.
Companies, such as Spanish-based Grifols, which operates 17 donation centers along the southern U.S. border, benefit from the Mexicans, whose government banned the selling of blood plasma in 1987.
Four other companies, pharmaceutical companies, CSL, whose headquarters are in Australia, the United Kingdom-owned BPL, and U.S.-based GCAM Inc. operate within the Mexico-United States border.
The American market sits atop the $21 billion global industry.

Mexicans, the gift that keeps on giving.
Brownsville is FULL of that. Everywhere I look when I cross to Mexico is dozens and dozens of people with bandaged arms.
They are not selling blood. Whole blood is taken out, plasma is separated, and then the red blood cells are put back into the donor. We have to get plasma someplace. Without plasma a lot of people will die. Plasma donations and whole blood donations are not the same thing. I don’t care if the plasma donors, who are screened, get paid a few bucks for the time they spend laying on a bed with a needle in their arm. If you want to do it for free, go for it.
Why should they be the only industry not luring Mexicans to cross the border?
Can’t have landscaping, construction, food processing, hospitality and agriculture having all the fun.....
Interesting. We have had a huge shortage on platelets - for years. Serious stuff.
Sanctuary pharmacies
Agree. I’m an AML survivor. I needed many, many platelet transfusions (snd rbc’s) . It takes about 4 hours to donate. Much longer than a red blood donation. I’ve met several people who need HLA specific platelets. When their numbers are 3 and there are no bags available, they need to be hospitalized as a serious fall risk. Luckily when mine has dropped that low, I could get the transfusions immediately. But, they won’t transfuse till 11 and they were always saying how short they were. Another shortage is IVIG.
I’m relieved to read measures are in place to recruit donors.
The same Mexicans that are bringing across the diseases that were once eradicated in this country? Those Mexicans?
Virgin Catholic schoolgirls could 1) charge double, and 2) fully fund their education via helping others with their blood donations. Mormons might be able to charge triple.
They test everyone. Even the clean cut US citizens here who don’t know they are HIV positive as well as the skanky looking person who is a skanky healthy.
As someone who was transfusion dependent for rbc, and platelets and later required regular immunoglobulin Derived from platelets - I’m very grateful for these life savers.
you can make money selling your blood?!?!?!?
...out the front door...
Just part of the NWO standard operating procedures. Combined with body parts from abortion houses and body parts from shooting victims in the major Progressive ghettos, medical needs of the elite are well served.
You think blood products are medical needs for the elite?
I am O neg and use to give all the time. Now on blood thinner and I can’t give any longer unless I go off the thinner for week.
To boot, they tell me I have too much iron in blood and may have to be bled to reduce the iron! I live in mtns and apparently O2 is thin, thus I don’t get enough O2 and for some reason this makes me have too much iron.
I am so thankful that we can get people in Mexico to help with platelets. I pray that you get the blood/plasma you need.
Yep.
Well I never considered myself an elite.
Thank you ! I understand the extra iron. I have that issue from the build up from so many prior transfusions. I’m not at the point of needing to have blood removed - yet. When I learned that was the treatment, I was shocked tho. Who would have thought. I hope you’re doing ok. Are both your hemoglobin and hemocrit elevated or just ferritin ?
