HOMELAND SECURITY REPORT CONFIRMS DISEASES SPREADING AT BORDER FACILITIES
Breitbart ^ | 08/01/2014 | Kerry Pickett

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General released a memo on Thursday confirming the problem of communicable diseases that are being spread throughout detention centers.

The OIG outlined a two-week report from the beginning of the month on the detention of Unaccompanied Alien Children. According to DHS IG John Roth’s memo to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, the IG office continues to make unannounced site visits to numerous detention centers along the southern border where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are temporarily sheltering UACs.

The IG says they did not observe any misconduct or inappropriate conduct of DHS employees during their unannounced visits and did not receive any new complaints during their random interviews of UACs. However, the IG office stressed the problem of communicable diseases that are being spread at the detention centers.

“Many UAC and family units require treatment for communicable diseases, including respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, chicken pox, and scabies,” the IG report said. “UAC and family unit illnesses and unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities resulted in unsanitary conditions and exposure to human waste in some holding facilities.” The report continued:

Contract cleaners and OHS employees are working to maintain sanitary conditions. DHS employees reported exposure to communicable diseases and becoming sick on duty. For example, during a recent site visit to the Del Rio USBP Station and Del Rio Port of Entry, CBP personnel reported contracting scabies, lice, and chicken pox. Two CBP Officers reported that their children were diagnosed with chicken pox within days of the CBP Officers’ contact with a UAC who had chicken pox. In addition, USBP personnel at the Clint Station and Santa Teresa Station reported that they were potentially exposed to tuberculosis.

The Constitution is the law of this land. Why can we the people NOT sue the political party in control at the time of abuse forcing them to adhere to the Constitution they took an oath to uphold.

The Democrats are doing their best to destroy the basis of our Nation, the Constitution, the owners manual if you will for governing this great nation, and if we don’t hold them responsible they will get away scot-free.

The Democrats must pay the price for their deceit.

Be kind of funny if you could spoof the old Ayaholla posters with the new sharif in town, “Ebola @sshola”. Even has the radical islam element to it, lol.

A good % of America would still get that.

unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities

Uh, no, it's because these little MS-13/Zetas/Mexican Mafia wannabes are marking their territories.

They also intended to bring the poor innocent widdle children over long before the first one set foot on this side of the border. Remember that job notice hussein sent out for transportation for the kiddies back in January. Not just the notice came out in advance but you know with government bureaucracy, it was in the works months if not years before that.

the parents of minors should be charged with child abuse if they dare to set foot in this country, and the "children" sent back immediately

But, but the widdle kiddies need their mamas! The kiddies coming over was Stage 1. Stage 2 is bringing over their mamas and we're already there. The men's ICE facility in Karnes City, TX was just refurbished (with your tax dollars) to hold women and children. And, oooh, the pictures of it are so nice what with all the tvs in every room and 24 hour meal service, etc. So we can expect Stage 3 to bring over daddy and all the cousins is right around the corner.
