That’s why it should concern all of us that the Biden administration’s open, broken border policy has resulted in thousands of children with TB being released across America:

The 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.

Democrat and Republican presidents alike required immigrants to pass a medical check. Fail the check, and back you go. It was simple common sense.

But now it’s not common sense. It’s racism.
We will pay greatly for this idiotic change of view.

If I was a farmer and I knowingly shipped produce infected with salmonella, or a rancher who sold cows infected with anthrax, do you think I would get in trouble?
