DHS Report: Tuberculosis And Scabies Spreading In Migrant Holding Facilities
daily caller ^ | Thurs, July 31, 2014 | Scott Greer

Posted on 07/31/2014 2:18:37 PM PDT by upchuck

The Department of Homeland Security’s report on the facilities housing the recent flood of “unaccompanied alien children” (UAC) from Central America describes conditions where diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and scabies are spreading, and staff are being exposed to human waste.

The report lists off the types of diseases that are becoming prevalent in the facilities and that are requiring treatment. They include “respiratory illnesses, chicken pox, tuberculosis, and scabies.” These diseases have also spread to several DHS employees working at the locations, the report states. (RELATED: Scabies Outbreak At US Border)

The report also includes notes that these facilities are now in unsanitary condition due to “UAC and family unit illnesses and unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities” and these conditions have resulted in staff members and migrants being exposed to human waste. (RELATED: Medical Staffers Threatened With Arrest For Divulging Information On Illegals’ Medical Conditions)

The DHS study mentioned that facility staff have been purchasing clothing, food and games for the UACs housed in the various holding locations.

In addition, the study stated that some facilities lack a sufficient amount of food for the migrants and there is a severe discrepancy in the amount of UACs and staff tasked with handling them.

According to The World Bank, the United States has had one of the lowest incidence rates of TB in the world over the last several years.

unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities

I know that these people are coming from a poor country; but, really, they don't recognize a toilet?

It’s been a slow motion national suicide for 30 years with open borders and govenrment spending like drunk lotto winners etc., etc..

I won’t be surprised if we start seeing Ebola surfacing in the U.S. within 1 year...This would allow for more control, tighter restrictions and on and on.

Same budget as the USMC and twice their headcount:

1. Range Rover confiscation

2. NFL merchandise legitimacy checkers

3. Greater Boston strip club patrol

4. Illegal alien smuggling

5. TB outbreak supervision

This is nothing short of a huge crime being committed with malfeasance, high treason and endangering the public by allowing this.

I guess a pandemic would fit into Obama’s plans to remake America. He is shipping these invaders all over the US and concealing when and where they are being sent.

That was my first thought, too-the second was maybe there was no quarter moon painted or stenciled on the door of the bathroom...

Wonder how many of the 350 criminal aliens DHHS forced down out throats have one or more of these diseases?

Since we don't know where they are, if you have school aged kids you might be giving some thought to what your kids may be exposed to come the first day of school.

My parents witnessed the last typhoid outbreak in NYC. I wonder if that nasty disease is going to make a comeback?

I know Barry has that black magic teflon shield that protects him from criticism but it's very bizarre that he's getting away with this. I think the American people and even Congress are desensitized to his corruption now.

To them a toilet is a wide space where they can squat down. The idea of fouling clean water with human waste upsets them.
