Federal, state and city health departments have issued public health alerts about increases of communicable diseases as illegal border crossers arrive in their communities.

Earlier this year, the New York City Health Commissioner instructed New York health-care providers to undergo several precautions and tests in light of "an alarming trend" of diseases spreading among illegal foreign nationals in New York City who arrived from the southern border. Dr. Ashwin Vasan expressed alarm about those arriving who hadn't been vaccinated for polio or chickenpox and were coming from countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis.

"Many people who recently arrived in NYC have lived in or traveled through countries with high rates of TB," he wrote in an April 11 letter to physicians and health care providers.

The CDC also issued an alert around the same time, saying, "For the second year in a row, TB disease cases in the U.S. have continued to rise, with concerning increases among young children and other groups at increased risk for TB disease." Cases presenting in children aged 4 and under was "particularly concerning because they usually result from recent transmission versus reactivation of long-standing latent TB infection," it said.
