No. 16 is going to be the greatest threat to Americans and the news is already coming out about it. The CDC is facing a very serious situation and man is not going to be able to "fix it". It's already crossed the border and is here.
ROFL... we're all gonna die! They are bringing heretofore unheard of diseases to our shores!!! Hit the damn panic button already why don't you!!!
Not "gonna". Many Americans ALREADY have. Didn't you know ? Pheeeeeeeww!! (high-pitched whistle, eyes rolling around in head)
Undocumented Immigrants bringing diseases across border? - ABC15 Arizona
Infections in Hispanic Immigrants
Mexico and Central America harbor TB, malaria, yellow fever, food and waterborne diseases, dengue fever, filariasis, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), and myasis (various forms of intestinal parasites). Mexicos six border states have over 27 cases of TB per 100,000 people. Legal immigrants have to be evaluated for TB and other diseases before they are allowed into the U.S. Illegal aliens escape such inspection. CDC Border Infectious Disease Surveillance (BIDS) was established in 1997 with Mexico in order to identify illegals with hepatitis and febrile exantehm (skin rash which accompanies Rubella). Immigrant women may be at risk for disease such as rubella (due to lack of vaccination) or listeriosis (due to food preparation practices) - read poor hygiene in food preparation such as not washing dirty hands. In 2003 the CDC stated that 53 percent of reported TB cases were persons born outside the United States and Mexico had the most numbers of TB cases of the top five countries.
According to Titles 8 and 42 of the U.S. Code, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services has the statutory responsibility to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases into the United States.
For legal immigrants, the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine operates quarantine stations at ports of entry to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases in the United States.
According to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines which communicable diseases of public health significance would make a foreign national inadmissible into the U.S. on health-related grounds. There are seven such diseases: chancroid, gonorrhea, granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum, syphilis (sexually transmitted diseases), infectious leprosy, active tuberculosis, and infectious syphilis.
Foreign nationals who are not vaccinated against vaccine-preventable diseases, mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, influenza type B and hepatitis B, are also inadmissible into the United States.
Other diseases that would prevent a foreign national from entering the United States are: cholera, diphtheria, infectious tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa, Marburg, Ebola, Crimean-Congo, South American, and others not yet isolated or named), SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), and influenza caused by novel or re-emergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic. (Ruth Ellen Wasem, Immigration Policies and Issues on Health-Related Grounds for Exclusion, Congressional Research Service, R40570, April 28, 2014)
Foreign nationals who petition to become legal permanent residents must be tested by civil surgeons chosen by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CDC and the Customs and Border Protection from the DHS operate 20 quarantine stations with doctors on call for all ports of entry.
If foreign nationals who enter our country must go through such a strict health inspection before they are allowed into our country or permitted to become legal permanent residents (LPRs), why then are we turning a deliberate blind eye to the massive exodus from Central America into the U.S.? Who is checking the health of these illegal aliens? What kind of diseases are they bringing in?
Dangerous Health Issues Associated with Illegal Immigration
So again... the issue is with illegals. now with our legal immigrant guests. If you want to fix the illegal immigration problem why do you keep voting for lawless democrats like Obama?
