Earlier this summer when the unaccompanied minor crisis was at its peak (after really starting in October 2013) in Texas and Arizona, Border Patrol agents working inside processing facilities reported cases of Tuberculosis, scabies and other diseases being brought into the United States by unvaccinated illegal aliens. Warnings were issued by local communities about the impact these diseases could potentially have in the public school system where their children are educated. For example, protestors in Murrieta, California turned bus loads of illegal immigrants away, citing concerns about public health. Those protestors and people who warned about the spread of disease were accused of fear mongering and exaggeration.
Fast forward now to September and thousands of illegal minor children have been shoved into the public education system without meeting normal immunization requirements (because after all, they're entitled to it according to the Department of Education) and into local hospitals for medical care. As a result, cases of Tuberculosis are popping up with five confirmed infections and at least 700 children being put at risk. From NBC:
Five babies have tested positive for tuberculosis infection after an employee at an El Paso hospital exposed hundreds of infants to the disease, according to a statement released by the El Paso Department of Public Health.
And more from the Washington Post:
An employee working at Providence Memorial Hospital in El Paso, Tex., may have exposed more than 700 infants to tuberculosis.
Parents of potentially infected children received a letter from the El Paso Department of Health last week, according to ABC News. They include children born at the hospital between September 2013 and August of this year, when officials discovered that the unnamed female employee had the illness. The employee was originally identified as a nurse at the hospital. The hospital later clarified that she worked as a patient care tech.
Naturally, few in the media are making the connection between the most recent illegal immigration wave and Tuberculosis. According to the National Network for Immunization Information, Tuberculosis kills more people in the world than any other infection.
The media will obviously never make the link.
Ping...
Some illegal gets a hospital job in less than a year ?
And you thought it meant something good.
EV-69 (the new polio) and tuberculosis
are the FIRST of pRes_ _ent Obola’s “gifts”
to Americans by his WMD-Quartering.
EV-68 (the new polio) ...
My heart hurts for the parents of the 5 newborns with TB.
Bump
During the 1970s before we realized what JFK’s 1965 Immigration Act (passed on his death) would result in, we closed our quarantine stations, going from 55 down to 8, thinking that in our advanced population of 200 million moon walking peoples, that infectious diseases were a thing of the past.
Scary that illegal children were put in public schools immediately without any concern for the American children. This is only the beginning of WOES facing America!
A link to Barry’s open borders won’t be made UNTIL AFTER the November election.. In the meantime, Ssssshhhhh!!!!
What's the link between EV-D68 and immigration? Are you claiming that El Paso has been particularly hard hit? Are you just making things up?
First comes the TB...and then comes the bankruptcy.
Ellis Island was an immigrant administration and medical reception center
designed to prevent disease contamination of the U.S. populace.
Plagues comming in at the Southern Border is just "leveling the field" so that we can all share in the misery.
Are there grounds for some of the parents of the affected children to file a lawsuit? We know it’s treason already, to allow illegals in against the law, but beside that little thing /s
Illegals and anti-vaxer citizens are dragging America back to the dark ages. Our leadership in the USA is AWOL and rogue.
A young Tiger Woods?
It’s climate change.
Really!
After all, our top of the SATs MSM has already declared that climate change is the cause of the mysterious (to liberals only) outbreak of paralysis causing flu.
