Report: Trump Admin Seeks to Stop Migrants at Border Over Disease Concerns
Breitbart ^ | 23 Feb 2025 | Randy Clark

Posted on 02/23/2025 9:00:24 PM PST by SoConPubbie

Reports indicate the Trump administration plans to resume expulsions under the Centers for Disease Control’s Title 42 authority. The measure, first used by the Trump administration to combat COVID-19, allowed immigration officials to summarily expel migrants within minutes of an illegal entry to reduce the spread of the contagion.

According to a CBS News report, internal government documents were reviewed that indicate the Trump administration is planning on reinstating the Public Health Service Act found in Title 42 to reduce the likelihood of introducing diseases like tuberculosis. The measure allows Border Patrol agents and other immigration officials to swiftly remove migrants who enter the United States illegally without allowing them to apply for asylum.

According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, field offices are aware of several measures being explored to increase the removal options available to reduce illegal entries between ports of entry further. “We have heard rumblings from the field level that we are going to see a return to Title 42 expulsions. It makes sense to have that in our toolbox of removal options, but the plan has not been widely disseminated,” a U.S. Customs and Border Protection source told Breitbart Texas.

The source says the plan may focus on current outbreaks of measles and varicella (chickenpox) on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border. In Piedras Negras, Coahuila, the border city across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas, a Spanish-language news report described a Varicella outbreak discovered within four public schools in the border city. At least 60 young children tested positive for the contagion, also known as chickenpox.

On Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) notified residents of at least 90 measles cases identified in the South Plains near Seminole, Texas.

Common sense as this should be a top priority yet hasn’t been for quite some time. Heads should have already rolled for allowing diseases into America that have more or less been eradicated.

LONG overdue.

Tuberculosis, measels, hep A, B & C and even polio and malaria are making comebacks.

Ebola nearly broke out carried in by a shitholian. COVID was from China.

Our friend, a Canadian nurse who got a work visa and then a green card to work in Florida where there is a huge shortage of nurses had to pass a physical, a test for tuberculosis and HIV, and demonstrate fluency in English.
She should have just snuck across the border.

How about just because it is against the law?

Today the words of the song, “This is my country.” have run through my head over and over. My country, not some illegal’s or some visa holder.

10 of my grandfather’s family went to the ports in Sicily in 1912 to, legally, come to America. The health requirements were so stringient, that 4 were turned back for conjunctivitis or some such, including his father - my great grandfather.

My great grandmother was allowed on the ship with the remaining kids. She and her husband never lived together again because of that.

Now, any ol’ diseased POS can just jump the border and bring their contagians with them.

We citizens faced punishing mandates if we didn’t rush out to get the Wuhan flu vaccine, yet untold millions of aliens just waltzed in without a care in the world, and then were given untold millions of taxpayer money.
A gigantic crime, and has anyone even been held to account?
So sick of this destruction of our nation and the freedom of its citizens.

Mayorkas encouraged it and actively facilitated it. He needs to be charged with treason, imo.

The Biden Administration kept the world’s #1 tennis player (and one of the fittest men on the planet) out of the country because he didn’t take the COVID jab. We ought to keep all the illegal alien petri dishes out for legitimate health concerns.

Where do you think the latest outbreak of measles in Texas came from?
