he government is releasing thousands of illegal immigrant children with latent tuberculosis infections into American communities without assurances of treatment.
Nearly 2,500 children with latent infections were released into 44 states over the past year, according to a court-ordered report on how the Health and Human Services Department is treating the children.
About 126,000 total were released, indicating an infection rate of 1 in 50 migrant children.
The government says it can’t treat the children because they are in custody for a short time and treatment requires three to nine months. HHS releases infected children to sponsors and notifies local health authorities in the hope that they can arrange for treatment before the latent infection becomes active.
Those hopes are often dashed.
Local health officials say the notifications are infrequent and the child has often already arrived when they are told about a case in their jurisdiction.
“We do not know how often the sponsors follow through on treatment,” the Virginia Department of Health told The Washington Times in a statement. “By the time outreach takes place, the child has sometimes moved to another area or state.”
The Times reached out to HHS for this report.
The children in the department’s custody, known in government-speak as unaccompanied alien children, or UACs, are a particularly tricky population.
Under the law, Homeland Security must discharge most children quickly and send them to HHS. The department holds the children in government-contracted shelters while searching for sponsors to take in the children caught at the border without parents.
The system is fraught with problems, including crowded shelters and struggles to find capable and conscientious sponsors. In thousands of cases, the government quickly loses track of the children.

Wonder how many have MDR or XDR TB...
Another Biden chalk mark on the wall

It’ll be interesting to see how these numbers change over the next year or two.
This has been going on for years. Mike Savage used to rail on this all the time on his show.
It’s bad in the jails.
And of course these kids will be sitting next to American kids in school.
But American citizens potentially with Covid were virtual prisoners in nhospitals, and we had to be masked up and locked down over a COLD virus.
This has been going on for years.

And now it’s supercharged and on steroids.
The solution is obvious! Deport all of them to their home country!
Yes, if you went out into public during lockdowns, even if you were completely asymptomatic, they leftards called you selfish and thought you should go to jail!!! The media wagged their fingers at you and people were arrested at the beach for not distancing. All this for a glorified common cold virus.
But you can distribute walking TB vectors all throughout the population no problem. Why?
Because corona was never about public health.
...and because promoting illegal immigration is THE most important public policy in this country for our executive branch.
Traitors, all.
“..Traitors, all...”
^THIS^
Just no other way to describe it.
We had TB TINE TEST IN SCHOOL YEARLY, AND THIS WAS BEFORE ALL THE VAXES, only vax I had was Smallpox, as the school gave it free.
Just another phase of China’s biowar that Biden is facilitating.
Where is CDC on this?
Here comes the next pandemic.
The cdc is silent as it is a political institution
Nevermind - answered my own question - if you can trust these tools:
From the CDC:
What is tuberculosis (TB)? Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria that are spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. In most cases, TB is treatable and curable; however, persons with TB can die if they do not get proper treatment.
What is multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB)? Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is caused by an organism that is resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent TB drugs. These drugs are used to treat all persons with TB disease.
What is extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB)? Extensively drug resistant TB (XDR TB) is a rare type of MDR TB that is resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, plus any fluoroquinolone and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs (i.e., amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin).
Because XDR TB is resistant to the most potent TB drugs, patients are left with treatment options that are much less effective.
XDR TB is of special concern for persons with HIV infection or other conditions that can weaken the immune system. These persons are more likely to develop TB disease once they are infected, and also have a higher risk of death once they develop TB.
How is TB spread?
Drug-susceptible TB and drug-resistant TB are spread the same way. TB bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. These bacteria can float in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. Persons who breathe in the air containing these TB bacteria can become infected.
Back to masks? ;-(
