“Most likely TB”
I am sure there are cases of TB...probably antibiotic-resistant TB...loaded onto packed buses, government “cargo” planes and housed in crowded facilities (like the beautiful “Biden Rio Grande Plaza Resort”...just to make sure that if some of the interlopers made it across the border disease-free, we get them loaded up with “gifts” for their hosts/servants!
When I was a teacher, in another life (retired one year) - a TB test was mandated every four years as a condition of employment.
For the immigrant students - NO. The school district said if the test were mandated for them, the district would have to pay for the tests and there “was no money.”
Last time I went to my health provider to get tested, I was told testing was no longer mandated for my profession - they signed my waiver and that was it.
A nurse told me later TB tests were associated with gut cancers and that’s why they were discontinued.
When I moved back the US from Asia, I was diagnosed with latent TB. I have also had the non STD version of hepatitis.
6ou really do not want to have those diseases in your population.
