Should catching the measles, or mumps, or chicken pox, or tuberculosis be part of a federal employee's job description? You know, take the TB the way the military at war with an enemy takes the bullet? Except, of course, that the military can defend itself. Border Patrol agents cannot.
It is now. InfoWars, via Drudge Report, has some news on just this appalling state of affairs:
More agents than ever before are calling in sick to work or showing up sick, says a Border Patrol representative who worries too many agents are succumbing to illnesses brought by illegal aliens.
Carlos Favela, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 1929, says the number of agents affected by illnesses has reached alarming levels in recent years, with an estimated 20 to 25 agents from El Paso sector calling in sick each day, while others come in to work sick because they’ve used up their sick days.
“I believe this is probably the record, you know, Border Patrol-wide, since ever, of agents calling in sick,” Favela told ABC-7.
That's the situation with the current border surge, which has seen 109,000 illegal migrants pour into this country without any vetting, medical screening, or paperwork in just the past month. With little in the way of a wall, a Democratic Party that's encouraging mass illegal migration from abroad, a Democrat-led House that refuses to do anything to halt the current border surge, and numerous incentives from blue states for illegals to enter illegally, at least one end result is this effective standing order for Border Patrol agents to take the diseases the illegals they apprehend are bringing in with them, before releasing them to move about the country.
'Caged children' is a powerful Democratic talking point,

Yet another serious border problem that the congress will ignore.
If you have been vaccinated, you cannot get these diseases. They even have a vaccine for TB.
This now constitutes a public health emergency and should further justify denying access to our border.
This is horrible! Those “migrant” hordes are bringing the plagues. We are Rome and they are the Visigoths.
Lucky for the invaders there is “free health care” available just across that line. Gropin’ joe even says we’re ‘obligated’ to provide health care to the criminals.
When at my doctor’s office this week, I had them run the tests needed to make sure I’m immune to the Measles and Chickenpox. I forgot to have them check for mumps too.
Diversity isn’t the nirvana it’s cracked up to be.
It’s bio warfare that enemies could only dream of along with the invasion of millions. I never thought America would succumb to this.
Kooties.
It seems Trump is also not doing much. I’m very annoyed. I thought our troops were going to be there taking care of this.
“If you have been vaccinated, you cannot get these diseases”
Most vaccines are 85% to 99% effective.
Think about that for a second. Many US citizens are not vaccinated w MMR and TB, especially TB. When this hits the public in general, we will have an epidemic not seen since the Spanish flu in the early 1900s.
Huh … and vaccination for mumps and measles is mandatory.
Something isn't adding up here.
What fraction of ICE/CBP agents coming in contact with infected illegals get mumps or measles?
You need to become more cynical. I adopted the ‘show me’ attitude years ago. I’m no longer disappointed by politicians or even Trump. I never believe them til they do it.
Maybe they are just calling in sick from being overworked, neglected, unsupported and out numbered.
That is not a truth.
Both my boys caught a light case of the measles after they were vaccinated. We were living in Europe at the time and the doctor said it can happen if you have a significant exposure. However, usually the resulting infection will be not as aggressive as without a vaccination.
Of course, with chicken pox, an adult can always contract shingles from another’s active infection.
I never thought I would be hsppy to say that I have had chicken pox, both kinds of measles and mumps on both sides.
