Migrants don't bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says
NBC Fake News ^

Posted on 12/08/2018 9:40:09 PM PST by MNDude

People who oppose immigration often argue that migrants bring disease with them, and that they then become a burden to health systems in their new countries because they’re so sick.

But that's not true, a team of experts argued in a new report released Wednesday.

"And they contribute to the economy, prevent crime, and improve education scores."

Hahahaha......Good one!

This notion that diseased foreign invaders improve health....try selling that to the 80% of Native Americans who died after exposure to European diseases.

Obviously I don't have enough doctorate degrees and political motives to cloud my common sense.

This study is such BS I wish I could patent it as a new form of fertilizer.

The use of the term “immigrants” was designed to deliberately blur the line between those coming in legally,where they probably had good healthcare at home or on the way than those coming in illegally had).

I’m sure Americans who once didn’t have to fear much from TB, hepatitis and HIV are thrilled to learn that these diseases are on the rise because of illegals.

Once nearly wiped out diseases are back and rising again re the above and possibly the Plague.

I see illegals spitting on the ground all the time in the DC area. Would you want to step in that? Doubt it! And this doesn’t include those who take a whiz or dump in the bushes and streams. Just what we need more of tapeworms, amoebic dysentery (I got it in Guatemala and it wasn’t any fun), and related stomach diseases that can spread into waters and the ground.

Pneumonia is another disease that is now becoming serious in the Mexican caravans.

My grandchildren are continually sick at both their elementary and middle schools, and we catch some of it on the rebound. When you have kids from 30-80 countries in a closed environment such as a school, and one or two are sick, it hits the whole school student body, the teachers and support staff before coming to we relatives of those students.

All of my medical personnel who are from other countries came here legally (Latin America, Middle East, Africa, Asia) and are very good people, professionally and otherwise. But they did it LEGALLY.

That is why this report is such bullshit. It is dishonest in the way it mixes apples and oranges and comes up with lollipops and unicorns.

Funny that you’re posting on this thread but referring to one of the very earliest US government shakedowns, the “war” against “Big Tobacco.”

Migrants don't bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says

According to the article's twisted logic ("migrants are young and healthy and actually RAISE - statistically - the general level of health in the countries they migrate to") the headline might just as well read:

Migrants lower general state of health in their home countries, report says

...because they are young and (with the exception of communicable diseases) healthy, when they leave their home countries, the general level of health in their home countries drops.

America should be ashamed, luring away all these healthy, young, productive, industrious workers from their home countries! And rather than encouraging "migrants" to fix OUR problems, America should pursuade them to stay home and fix the problems in their home countries!

Regards,

Bedbugs.

All the local thrift shops are infested with bedbugs, now.

Guess why.

I am a pharmacist. I do know a great deal about communicable disease. This article is just a plain damn lie. It is not a mistake of judgement nor science. It is a damn lie.

The Aztec had nomadic roots and were last seen heading North to escape the Spanish.
