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.
In fact, they point out that immigrants make up a significant portion of the healthcare work forces in their new homelands.
"There is no evidence to show that migrants are spreading disease," said Dr. Paul Spiegel, who directs the Center for Humanitarian Health at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. "That is a false argument that is used to keep migrants out," Spiegel told NBC News.
"Contrary to the current political narrative portraying migrants as disease carriers who are a blight on society, migrants are an essential part of economic stability in the U.S.," added Terry McGovern, who heads Columbia University’s Department of Population and Family Health.

I have the sniffles; bring me an illegal Sudanese migrant, please.
Why just the other day I hired this gentlemen, that was hanging around the homedepot, to cleanup up my lawn- I got a great deal and he threw in a free colonoscopy.
NBC == FAKE News.
“report says”
Is Report any kin to Mr. Hawvid Study?
Or Ms.Recent Anal Isys ?
A few years ago, I received a call from a local clerk of courts, warning me that a gentleman that I’d sat next to in court was an illegal alien from Mexico with active TB. That sure got my attention.
The two-year study found that international migrants are less likely than people in their host countries to die of heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases and other ills. The exceptions are hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV. But the study also found these infections are generally only spread within the affected immigrant communities and not to the wider population.
Yeah, I feel so much better.
Wait... I thought that these were people who were “fleeing disease and violence” in their own countries.
Now they are roving MDs and Nurses? Really?

For centuries we have quarantined people who had infectious diseases when we should have been letting them roam in public.
It depends on what the meaning of “migrants” is.
What you see here is called gaslighting.
Previously, the term “migrants” has been used in the corporate media exclusively as a euphemism for illegal aliens. Legal immigrants have NOT been referred to as “migrants”.
Apparently a decision has been made to now apply the term “migrants” more widely in order to leverage the ambiguity for political purposes.
Did anyone announce this change in the meaning of the language? Nope, but you are supposed to accept the shift of the very terms of reality reality, without argument - and many routinely fall for that bait.
No, sorry. They don’t get to use “migrants” in this ambiguous way when it has been established to mean “disorderly border-crossers”.
This makes the claims of the quoted individuals lies, and the story fake news.
Employers, like hospitals, prefer cut-rate, sub-minimum wage workers, whom they can abuse at will.
Nothing new here.
No evidence of them bringing in diseases, except that, wherever they are settled, diseases that haven’t been around for years or decades start popping up.
And if the docs are so sure, lets put a bunch of the little savages in school with all their kids. Lets see how that works out. BTW, no screening of the kids prior to entering the school.
Migrants don’t bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says

Bullshit! I see what happens at my kids school.
immigrants make up a significant portion of the healthcare work forces in their new homelands.
Typical “report” is just bullsh!t with unverifiable claims, so you stop believing your lying eyes...
Our AIDS population in particular should be fighting the uncontrolled border; the compromised immune systems won’t hold up.
It’s too late! There was a court in Europe that released one of these animal rapists on the grounds that THEY WERE CULTURALLY DIFFERENT, and didn’t understand that Europeans had different cultural sensibilities ABOUT FORCIBLE PENETRATION.
That actually happened!!
Yeah, never mind what health officials in Mexico are saying about the “Migrant” camps.
”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens [emphasis added] twenty-one years of age in such State."
Also, Trump's wall will protect citizens from dangerous illegal aliens. This includes terrorists and aliens with diseases.

Direct from the Ministry of Truth. I happen to know that Hopkins School of Public health is a hotbed of Democrats as is the Hospital and Medical School. And what do Democrats do most? They lie.
