Feds Bend CDC Rules for Sick Illegal Immigrants

HOUSTON, Texas Individuals and families immigrating to the U.S. legally are required to pay for and undergo medical examinations by approved physicians; those who are deemed as having "inadmissible health-related conditions" are not allowed into the country. But the same standards are not applied to illegal immigrants, many of whom remain in the U.S. despite testing positive for diseases that would prevent law-abiding migrants from entering.

...tens of thousands of Central Americans entering the U.S. illegally. Some ...individuals have tested positive for illnesses including tuberculosis, chicken pox, and other viruses...most of them are not immediately deported. .. they stay and receive medical care subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet...told Breitbart Texas, "Legal immigrants are required to pay for medical exams and screening tests conducted by approved physicians before they arrive here. They're not arriving in the U.S. carrying diseases, and then being dispersed into cities across the nation."

SNIP

...while a prospective legal immigrant who has not been vaccinated for chicken pox would be barred from entering the U.S., unvaccinated individuals who enter the country illegally are being allowed to stay. "The CDC's own guidelines are clearly being violated with regards to the illegal immigrants currently crossing the border," Vliet stated.

The CDC website also claims that tuberculosis (TB) is a "disease of public health significance" that "would cause an applicant to fail a medical examination or be inadmissible" to the U.S.

SNIP

...by allowing infected illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and receive free healthcare, they are being given preference over those who follow the rules by attempting to enter the U.S. legally.

"It's not who we are as a nation to break our own laws and give preference to those who do," Vliet stated. "In this case, those who follow the law have to pay."

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all legal immigrants must be screened and approved before entering the U.S. The agency states on its website, "The health-related grounds for inadmissibility include persons who have a communicable disease of public health significance, who fail to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases, who have or have had a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior, or who are a drug abuser or an addict."

But the same rules apparently do not apply to illegal immigrants. __________________________________________

The American government is at war against the American people.

Protected class.

How can anyone doubt that the United States government has declared war on its own citizens?

Further evidence that illegal aliens get preferential treatment.

Pure and simple the illegal is a protected class of humanity as long as Leftists be they under the guise of Republican, or Socialist Democrat run the country.

Socialist Democrats protect the illegals for their votes, and Establishment Republicans protect the illegals at the behest of their true constituency, the major corporations that gift them treasure, and pleasure for their legislation, and efforts towards amnesty to protect their bottom lines.

Sarah Palin is right on the mark with her campaign against crony capitalism.

The target is clear.

I sincerely hope and pray that those elected rectums in DC catch one of these imported diseases. They are putting an entire civilization at risk with their stupidity. Nothing would give me a broader smile than seeing them ALL falling down, vomiting, scratching and shaking with the results of the assinie rules for which they are responsible. I’ll say the 3 ‘Our Fathers’ and 3 ‘Hail Mary’s’ gladly.

i wake up some days and wonder why i am even obeying the law, paying my taxes, saving for future medical issues, sacrificing to have insurance, and being a good legal citizen when illegals, criminals, welfare queens, and politicians seem to do just fine not doing any of that. of course i know the answer but still....

I worked with an Indian engineer a few years ago. He had been in the USA for 20 years already. He had to go hunt down a doctor from 10 years prior to sign a medical document because a stupid bureaucrat at INS made a clerical error. He found the doctor 2 states away and had to make the special trip out to see the doctor...Who by the way was now a prison doctor for Cali Dept Corr.

If he hadn’t been able to track down that doctor after 10 years or the doctor had retired he would have had to completely start over for himself and his family after nearly 20 years of residency in the USA on a green card. Back of the line.

I keep telling all my immigrant friends to change their last names to Gomez and tell all the agencies they are illegal Mexicans. It’s practically illegal to enforce the law on them.

Insightful Freepers sum it all up (on another thresd).

DRAGNET2 POSTED This decades long violent lawless government-sponsored invasion has changed our history, compromised and undermined our electoral process, our economy, our industry and divided the United States of America.....

All of it undermines US ntl security, as well.....we are less safe.

"

"Not to mention the savage criminal elements, killing Americans by DWI, the sexual assaults, the predators, the gangs and organized criminal activity, identity theft, stolen SS nos...... and the harm and havoc heaped upon Americans trying to clean it up. "

"We don’t hate the people. We hate that Obama is using them as a calculated political tool for himself and his party....we can only hope it backfires BIG time. Its treason anyway you look at it."
