Health officials on Saturday confirmed seven mumps cases at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Houston.

The Houston Health Department said in a press release that the cases involved seven adults who were detained during their infectious period -- meaning there was no evidence that anyone outside the facility was infected.

“Since these individuals were isolated inside the facility during the period they were infectious, we do not anticipate these cases posing a threat to the community,” said Dr. David Persse, Houston’s local health authority and EMS medical director.

Health officials are working with the ICE facility to control the transmission of the disease and provide on-site treatment.

"Measles, mumps, what is next, polio?"

Oh let's see.. Typhus, Tuberculosis, antibiotic-resistant infections, STD's GALORE (Herpes, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, AIDS, etc..)

It's a pretty good deal for Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, etc., TO EMPTY THEIR HOSPITALS, INSANE ASYLUMS AND PRISONS INTO THE UNITED STATES AND WE GLADLY ACCEPT THEM EVEN THOUGH WE VOTED 'TRUMP' TO TRY AND STOP IT (BUT HE CAN'T)

And the liberals will say it’s because we aren’t properly taking care of illegal aliens.

The liberals will never say they are bringing these diseases with them.

If you go to the Facebook site, Living Along The Border you will see just how bad it is here, with local law enforcement authorities and ranchers along the border telling firsthand accounts. This country is being overthrown, with democrats aiding and abetting the coup.

Yup - Polio variant already here, but they’re not calling it polio.
