A Border Patrol official says hes concerned the medical screening at the Border Patrol Station in McAllen, Texas, has grown so porous that a new superbug will make its way into the United States through the station.
Albert Spratte, the sergeant-at-arms of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, says the medical screening process involves separating people into one of three separate classifications. If a person claims to be sick, he or she will see a doctor. If a person does not claim to be sick, but an Emergency Medical Technician looks at the person and determines he or she has symptoms of some sort of illness, that person will also see a doctor. But a person who does not claim to be ill or is not displaying symptoms may or may not be seen.
Its like a crapshoot, Spratte says. You may or may not be letting something in with a disease we havent had in the U.S. before. He says he knows of an active case of tuberculosis that passed through the facility, along with people who had scabies and others who had measles. There was even one case of leprosy, he says. I dont think the people in the interior U.S. realize its a different world, Spratte says. This is the U.S., but its a different part of the U.S. This is almost like a different country.
He says the living conditions of the people at the McAllen station make him nauseous. The people detained at the center unaccompanied children, adults and families are placed in the sally port, an outside garage with chain gates on either side that allow air to flow through the facility

I still feel that the UN should assume responsibility for these refugees.
Biological warfare? Would terrorists or others be clever enough to loose a dangerous strain of virus among the thousands of children crossing the border with the intention of having it spread within the USA?
I understand we are shipping children to many different states in all sections of the country.
Obama is giving Texas some payback.
They are not refugees.
“Biological warfare? Would terrorists or others be clever enough to loose a dangerous strain of virus among the thousands of children crossing the border with the intention of having it spread within the USA?”
Wouldn’t need to introduce a virus, what they carry in their systems and they are immune to, is enough to knock most Americans to their knees.
Go to their country and drink the water, find out what happens to you and it doesn’t bother them.
Careful what you wish for.
Obama would be thrilled to see a dangerous outbreak of some sort. Demo tactic: when no crisis exists, create one.
It’s kind of like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Only God knows the risks.
