According to the Tijuana Health Department, more than one-third of those who rode the caravan from Central America are being treated for an illness. Out of the 6,000 illegal aliens who are currently in Tijuana, 2,267 of them are are ill. Diseases include respiratory infections, tuberculosis, chickenpox and other more serious conditions, Fox News reported.
The Tijuana Health Department spokesperson who spoke with Fox News confirmed that there are:
• Three confirmed cases of tuberculosis.
• Four cases of HIV/AIDS.
• Four separate cases of chickenpox.
• At least 101 have lice.
• Multiple skin infections.
The department is also warning about a potential Hepatitis outbreak because the caravan riders are living in unsanitary conditions. Part of that is because thousands of the illegal aliens are being housed at the Benito Juarez Sports Complex near the San Ysidro United States-Mexico Port of Entry. The shelter is only designed to hold 1,000 people and has 35 port-a-potties for them.
"People aren't able to take showers, they sleep on the floor, nobody is cleaning the bathrooms, so the conditions are there for a major infection,' Carlos Betanzos, a coordinator for Ministerios Nazarenos de Compasión, an Evangelical aid group, told The Daily Mail. "We've had lung disease, flu, diarrhea, hypertension. One guy yesterday had chicken pox - but thankfully just one."
Betanzos said their main concern right now is the flu, which is likely to spread amongst the group because colder temperatures and rain are beginning to set in.
"The main danger is flu because it's getting colder and it's going to rain. If there is chicken pox it will be impossible to stop, it could infect thousands. f nothing changes it's a case of when, not if, there is a major outbreak of disease," Betanzos explained. "I would love to say there will not be deaths here, but it can happen because there are not enough doctors and medicine. The government was not ready for this many people."
The living conditions are unbearable, which is causing some of the caravan riders to self-deport. Around 80 self-deported on Tuesday alone. Mexican officials did deport 98 people who were involved in the border clash with Border Patrol on Sunday.
Clara Daniela, 17, and her boyfriend, Jose Hernandez, 25, fled El Salvador when Daniela's cousin was killed for not joining a gang. They brought along their one-year-old Fernando.

Let me say this.....chicken pox alone is nothing to mess with for older kids and adults. It’s miserable and unforgiving. I doubt these people have immune shots of any kind.
I agree 100%!!
Safety and health threats.
Keep. Them. Out!!
Can you believe Holly just said they don’t want to leave where they are! I doubt they’ll have a choice.
......” I bet they’re thinking that they’ve traded one sh!thole for a worse one”......
They’ve had warnings over and over again and why do not co I bet they’re thinking that they’ve traded one sh!thole for a worse one e here before, during and after they began this. They’ve created their environment and their conditions by their decisions......and continue to do so.
Thanks for posting those vids.
These need to get to POTUS, Hannity, OANN, etc.
The organizers have pushed these people into horrid, squalid conditions and don’t appear to be anywhere in sight. They need to get them back to their home countries. And, they need to have charged brought on them.
Agree. If they want to return, will Mexico or their own countries send them? I guess they can jump on top of trains and trucks going south.
Those vids - showing the filth and squalid conditions these illegals want to be in - need to be on a thread of their own.
Bet its already
more than half and growing more everyday
The fact that they’re all just sitting around in the crap waiting for someone else to clean it up tells us all we need to know about how they’ll behave on this side of the border.
BUILD THE WALL. Put up signs - “Trespassers will be shot on sight”. Stop the invasion. NOW.
Goobal warming causes
Smallpox
Largepox
Ckickenpox
Peoplepox
Cowpox
They’re flying them back to their countries.....read today 500 so far returned.....
The CDC is reported to have lifted the sickest of these people to the GA facility.
I wish I knew how to do photoshop.
First outhouse, label it Guatemala.
The next one - Honduras.
The next one - Mexico.
And then, one marked USA.
(Hmm - if I was hopeful, the locked one is USA).
I JUST SAW that.
Hey, I don’t mind the treatment. But do they send them back afterward? Especially HIV ... it never is cured.
