Border Patrol union claims scabies ‘outbreak’ threatens agents, public

A Border Patrol union claims that illegal immigrant minors are coming into the U.S. with "active scabies and other illnesses," claiming one of its agents already has contracted the mite-borne skin infection and warning it could spread into surrounding communities if precautions are not taken.

The union's warning comes amid claims of tuberculosis at one camp in San Antonio and Texas Gov. Rick Perry's testimony last week of a confirmed case of H1N1, or swine flu.

“”if precautions are not taken””

The next thing we’ll hear from obozo is that PRECAUTIONS are being or will be taken so everyone can rest easy!! The jerk can’t make a trip to the border while he’s in TX this week? He should be dragged down there by citizens!!

The best precaution is to enforce the law and protect the border.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION.

The agent in question, he said, was doing medical screenings of detainees despite not being a medical professional.

“He observed several people with open sores and which he recorded on the questionnaire,” Zermeno said. “He was not told about any precautions to take such as decontamination of himself and uniform. This demonstrates that we are not properly trained to identify infectious disease and to properly respond when we suspect a disease.”

He added that agents do not know which detainee may have passed on the illness, and said they suspect “they could have been already transferred to ICE custody and may have already been released in the surrounding communities.”

The list of high crimes and misdemeanors grows every day, yet the U.S. House is weak and the U.S. Senate is corrupt. No guts to impeach Obama, and no intention of convicting him under any circumstance short of murder (treason already has been demonstrated repeatedly).

This may end up being the stupidest thing Obama ever did to advance one of his policies, and that’s saying something. He encouraged illegals to flood into the US to create a crisis that he could use to push his immigration agenda (with or without Congress). But issues like this - disease — plus all the other problems are turning people against amnesty like never before. Heck of a job, Barry.

Unfortunately, Obama doesn’t care what the American people think or want. Spreading tropical diseases to the bourgeoisie is all part of the plan.

I wonder if the border agents can refuse to examine the illegal aliens for medical screenings...they are not medical personal and its not in their job description etc..they are not getting paid to play doctor..

In 1985 nurses at the VA hospital in Charleston South Carolina were threatened with firing if they refused to treat the civilian (NOT VETERANS) AIDS patients who were secretly dumped on the cancer ward...

I know I was a veteran patient on that cancer ward for 3 weeks...the nurses were scared stiff..

Here again are civilians, illegal aliens not even American citizens this time, in a government instillation being treated for highly contagious diseases..

can the border agents refuse to touch them if they suspect disease ???

Why isn’t a qualified doctor doing the screening ???

Those walking Petri dish of disease illegal aliens have

1. been at the border in Texas in a crowd, for days

2. taken by bus to an airport again in a crowd,

3. waited for a plane in a huge crowd at the airport

4. flown to San Diego on a plane in a crowd

5. another bus to Murrieta and San Ysidro..

6. been so called processed at San Ysidro in a crowd

7. Finally identified as having a disease by an inexperienced non-medical official..

8. Taken to a local hospital where they could again be in a crowd of sorts

9. Now let go into the American population at large

Meanwhile the border agents and guards and that poor agent who examined the diseased illegal alien all have carried the diseases home on their clothes to their families and the other customers at the local grocer shop who can also help spread the “love”...(This is CA there are few WalMarts..)

This is a good reason we have IMIGRATION LAWS...

REAL IMMIGRANTS are screened for disease back in their own countries...

“.... The crisis at the border continues to grow out of control,and with each passing day,more clues surface that indicate the Obama administration is orchestrating this whole ordeal to further their political agenda.
....
Conditions inside these facilities are covered in a shroud of mystery as some members of Congress have been denied access to the shelters,an order that FoxNews radio host Todd Starnes says has been handed down by the federal government.

According to Starnes’ sources,doctors and nurses have been told not to talk about the conditions inside the facility or be fired and possibly arrested for speaking out.
....
The other component of this is the organization that’s been contracted to run the camps,this organization called BCFS,previously known as the Baptist Child and Family Services. I have a source inside this organization who says that they’re getting these orders for secrecy from the federal government. ...”

A real American would stand up and say, “This is wrong.”
