Obama Importing Tuberculosis Into U.S.

[boedicca]

One of the reasons life expectancy in developed nations, including the U.S., has increased over the past few decades is that we have successfully combated infectious diseases. Obama's open border policies are undermining this progress. The waves of illegal immigrants crossing the Southern Border certainly aren't being screened. And when "refugees" are examined:


Data from the Vermont Department of Health show that more than one-third of refugees resettled in Vermont test positive for tuberculosis.

Since 2013, about 900 refugees admitted to the Green Mountain State have been tested for tuberculosis, a potentially fatal infectious disease affecting the lungs. Of that number, 318 refugees, or 35.4 percent, tested positive.

Watchdog.org obtained the health data on Wednesday following reporting by Stateline that the disease may be making a comeback in the United States.

Refugees brought to the United States undergo TB tests as part of comprehensive health screenings. State health departments track the data to monitor cases and protect against public health crises....

thats it! I am no longer buying fruits and veggies! god only knows what infected hands have fondled my melons and bananas !!!!

 

[konradv]

Doesn't mean they have it. It means they've been exposed. If they aren't infectious then they're really lucky, they're immune.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

are they gonna wear masks now when people go into public restrooms?

I can't believe the Olympics are being allowed to continue with the veracity of the Zika virus.
And yes, I understand that is not up to Obama. Just goes to show money trumps wisdom.

get hysterical not-------the "test" for TB is the
"PPD" it is a little subcutaneous injection to make a little BLOB on the skin ------the "positive test" is the blob stays blobby and gets red (indurated---red and blobby). If positive it suggests either active TB---exposure to TB or just ------sometime in the past the patient got BCG vaccine which is not at all
uncommon in the Middle East. Most such people do not have active TB. Now the bad part-----that damned little critter-----the TB "germ" mutates lots and gets resistant to
anti-critter meds and it has a natural receptive host in AIDS persons

"Refugees brought to the United States undergo TB tests as part of comprehensive health screenings. State health departments track the data to monitor cases and protect against public health crises...." Does that mean the refugees contacted TB after they arrived here?

It means that the U.S. government is allowing infected people into the U.S. and dumping them in states who then have to figure out what health issues have been imported.

And this certainly isn't going to enhance national health.


Judicial Watch: DHS Quietly Releasing Vanloads of Illegal Aliens Into the United States


Judicial Watch was on the ground when one of the white vans carrying a group of OTMs arrived at a Phoenix Greyhound station.

The OTMs are from Honduras, Colombia, El Salvador and Guatemala and Border Patrol officials say this week’s batch was in custody for a couple of days and ordered to call family members in the U.S. so they could purchase a bus ticket for their upcoming trip from Phoenix. Authorities didn’t bother checking the identity of the U.S. relatives or if they’re in the country legally, according to a Border Patrol official directly involved in the matter. American taxpayers pick up the fare for those who claim to have a “credible fear,” Border Patrol sources told JW. None of the OTMs were issued official court appearance documents, but were told to “promise” they’d show up for a hearing when notified, said federal agents with firsthand knowledge of the operation.
A security company contracted by the U.S. government is driving the OTMs from the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector where they were in custody to Phoenix, sources said. The firm is called G4S and claims to be the world’s leading security solutions group with operations in more than 100 countries and 610,000 employees. G4S has more than 50,000 employees in the U.S. and its domestic headquarters is in Jupiter, Florida. Judicial Watch is filing a number of public records requests to get more information involving the arrangement between G4S and the government, specifically the transport of illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to other parts of the country. The photo accompanying this story shows the uniformed G4S guard that transported the OTMs this week from Tucson to Phoenix.

Outraged Border Patrol agents and supervisors on the front lines say illegal immigrants are being released in droves because there’s no room to keep them in detention. “They’re telling us to put them on a bus and let them go,” said one law enforcement official in Arizona. “Just move those bodies across the country.” Officially, DHS denies this is occurring and in fact earlier this year U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske blasted Border Patrol union officials for denouncing this dangerous catch-and-release policy. Kerlikowske’s scolding came in response to the congressional testimony of Bandon Judd, chief of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union that represents line agents. Judd told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee that illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions can be released immediately and disappear into the shadows. Kerlikowske shot back, telling a separate congressional committee: “I would not stand by if the Border Patrol was — releasing people without going through all of the formalities.”...

Thanks for the answer. Now can we go back to the "Obama's open border policies"? What, when did the borders get declared "open" by the current admin, and when did the 'comprehensive health screenings' get dropped?

Clearly, you live in a hard plastic (recycled?) bubble.

Obama has used Non-Enforcement of the law to open the borders.

Not true. You're retarded if you believe that.

I'm quoting:


"Even as exotic new diseases and nearly-eradicated old ones keep popping up across the nation, the Obama administration is unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent, to the public health threat that Third World illegal aliens pose to the American public.

This isn't an observation from would-be GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump or some wild-eyed rube -- it's a devastating criticism that comes from two public health experts at the government's own Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It comes as deadly diseases surface or make a comeback in the U.S. Among those ailments are tuberculosis, pneumonia, paralysis-causing acute flaccid myelitis, dengue fever, swine flu, and enterovirus D68"

Is the ..."Obama administration unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent, to the public health threat that Third World illegal aliens pose to the American public?" Yes he is

Is ....."Obama rolling out a very long red carpet for people who have no right to be here and no desire to obey America's laws?" Yes indeed.


Who hates America? Hussein Obama does.

Not to be persnickety, skye, but what is your source? your quote says "..the Obama administration is unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent,...". Who are the 'some' who would say? Please believe I know the need for screening diseases we have subdued in the past. No disease is obliterated, just held dormant waiting for fertile ground to re-emerge. Vigilance is necessary. And the CDC is famously noted for being continually underfunded. It is just that in this day of reckless accusations, some are just too bloviating to accept without dissection, and as with you, source matters to me too.

Obama’s Illegal Aliens: Importing Deadly Third World Diseases



that's the source^^^^^


but of course sources don't matter to die hard Obamaists.... the King can not and will not be faulted.

"we don't care about no stinking sources" say the sheeple

Sources must come directly from the mouth of Mao.....to be believed by the left.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

things could be worse, we could all be running out of toilet paper and wiping ourselves with mice,gerbils and ferrets

And when they run out of that, they'll use the finger.


Sad times are these my friend. Sad times.

A source with the by-line.."Inside every Liberal is a Totalitarian screaming to get out" does not strike me as an unbiased source. Your own cliche "we don't care about no stinking sources" say the sheeple leads me to believe you also are not unbiased. And the opinion that "Sources must come directly from the mouth of Mao..." indicates hysteria. Just sayin....

People here are out of work, many can't afford health insurance, and obama is flooding the country with those of many needs and few skills. The rejects from the third world. and it's a given that many have diseases that we will have to deal with that problem and expense. When America was great, we decided who should come here and sent the ones back who had diseases. Obama either hates this country or he's stupid.
