Doctors Warn of Looming Health Crisis Due to Flood of Young Illegal Immigrants
Breitbart ^ | June 23, 2014 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 06/23/2014 11:42:34 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Many of the thousands of illegal immigrant children and teens crossing the United States border are carrying deadly contagious diseases that could easily create a major health crisis in this country, doctors say.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Dr. Jane Orient, an internal medicine specialist and the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), said that by admitting these huge groups of children who come from countries where medical screenings are minimal and hygiene is poor, the United States is at risk for epidemics of serious diseases and viruses that the nation has not seen in years.

“Tuberculosis (TB) is the single most dangerous disease because it is highly contagious and can be easily picked up at the mall, at a school, or on the bus,” Orient told Breitbart News. “Cases coming from south of the U.S. border can be very resistant to medications. They don’t respond to traditional antibiotics, and the few drugs they may respond to are often toxic, with lots of side effects.”

“Legal immigrants have always been required to undergo health screenings,” Orient continued, “but these kids coming have no medical screenings and no vaccine records. They’re likely coming here with a number of infectious diseases that will spread like wildfire.”

“Norovirus is also an extremely contagious virus with symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea,” she explained. “All we need is one outbreak of that virus and we would have an overwhelming public health crisis.”

“We use a lot of intravenous fluids to rehydrate people who have these types of illnesses. What if we have a shortage of IV fluids? Our emergency rooms would be overloaded.”

It’s time for the airlines to stop transporting these people.

I know one thing, if I was a flier, this would be a reason to stop.

International borders are being reshaped all around the world, Iraq, Sudan, Ukraine and the southwestern United States. The Reconquesta is nearly complete.

Just another opportunity to show what evil rotten selfish pigs we are, wanting to keep diseases out of our communities, and at the same time, a chance to give everyone from every corner of the world, no matter how poor, a chance at the success we are so damn evil for wanting. While we show the same kind of fairness to potential terrorists coming in over our southern border while we are deporting more people than ever before.

Make no mistake, no longer can we for too long makes no sense.

It’s OK to think such things, and to worry that they may bring third world diseases here like TB, leprosy, etc., but if you say them out loud you’re a “racist,” “xenophobe” and “nativist” or worse.

Of course it’s business-as-usual, however, for the Democrats and their MSM (and GOP sycophants) to lie out their a___s:
“The border will be secured, we promise ..., “ “comprehensive immigration reform,” “No, immigrants won’t be covered under the Affordable Care act. (’Liar!’” “undocumented immigrants,” It’s the DREAM act because they dream of being Americans” “They will have to pay a fine, return home, learn English, (ya da ya da),” “No, a path to citizenship won’t cost the taxpayers a dime.” “Coming to this country is an act of love.”
And on and on and on, 24/7.

“In a time of universal deceit—telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

I thought we didnt do TB vaccines anymore because of such a low outbreak number.

There are a lot of people that will be susceptible

Well, these diseased illegal alien children will not be going to Sidwell Friends, the exclusive private school that the Obama girls attend, so as Hillary says, “ What difference does it make?”

“Yes, but Obamacare will save us all.”

No obamacare involved here. The illegal vermin will not be hassled with the crapcare that citizens put up with. Like the Guantanamo detainees, they will receive care far better than many of our own citizens and they won’t be paying any “fees” or out of pocket deductables up to $12000.

Disease, Famine,War, can’t pay your water bill in Detroit so ask the UN for help, Katrina like conditions all over the US housing children, bring it ALL on-before the elections.

Let people see and feel the harsh reality and maybe we can get some of these scumbags out of office.

Chuck Schumer is ALREADY preparing the media to blame those returning from the World Cup for all the impending illness, with his concern about mosquitoes.

(blame those that can afford to travel to a game, NOT the poor, destitute illegals breaking our borders and breaking our laws! Not to mention the POTUS: The Pimp of the United States.)

This looks like this is an opportunity for Americans to actually live up to their highest value: “I’m not racist.”
Americans can comfort themselves repeating that mantra over and over, and it may make their discomfort/death from some hideous disease less painful. Obama will be so pleased.
