The Obama administration has been having a wonderful time, ignoring the country's immigration laws and allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to walk into the country without any of the usual background checks, medical exams, etc. normally required for every immigrant by our long-established laws.
Laws requiring medical examiations of every immigrantt, have been in place for more than a century, and for good reason: Many diseases that have been controlled or eradicated in the U.S., are still virulent and uncontrolled in other countries.
Suddenly bringing in large numbers of people exposed to those diseases, which can range from scabies to polio to TB and worse, runs a very real risk of their breaking out and spreading like wildfire in our population.
But the Obama administration is paying little attention to the risks, which they seem to feel are outweighed by the benefits of getting more votes from our minority population. And their allies in the media are seldom if ever reporting on the epidemics already sweeping through the detention centers... even as thousands of the illegals in those centers are shipped to locations throughout the United States and released into the general public, with a "Notice to Appear" for a deportation hearing they will never attend.
Doctor: Risk of Diseases Brought by Migrants Not Being Taken Seriously
by Kristin Tate
27 Jun 2014
HOUSTON, Texas--Earlier this week Breitbart Texas reported on a confirmed case of the Swine Flu, or H1N1, at a facility for young migrants in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet--an experienced physician and nationally recognized speaker--told Breitbart Texas that the risks from such diseases being brought over the border are being dramatically downplayed.
Vliet said, "Many people are trying to diminish the seriousness of this. They say, 'We have these diseases in the U.S.' Well yes, we do, but they've been well controlled, we have good hygiene, and most of our parents keep children home when they're sick."
(snip)
Unloading large numbers of illegal immigrants--particularly those who have not yet been screen for diseases--at cities around the country "increases the risk to the general U.S. population," Vliet said. "They're taking them from the border to the heartland and increasing the spread."
The doctor concluded, "First and foremost we need to enforce immigration laws. The migrants should be quarantined until we can determine what they have. This is a national security risk, it is a public health risk, and it is going to overwhelm the healthcare system for U.S. citizens."

I don't know weather to laugh or feel sad at this fear mongering.

Such illnesses "keep increasing logarithmically as long as you have people to infect," Vliet said. "So once the flu bug, TB, or any infectious disease is released--once they are brought across the border--they're just going to keep infecting more people. One person can infect a thousand people, and then that thousand can infect thousands more. There is an exponential increase."
Except for one big caveat...
Quote:
it hasn't happened (not from the link).
Decades and centuries of immigration to the US and there hasn't been a super plague brought by immigrants infecting thousands, then millions. Vaccinations also help prevent the spread of disease. She would know all of this if her specialty was diseases, instead of hormones, and practiced more then she blogs at conservative pundit and world nut daily.
'what does it matter' "we have to infect you to find out what diseases are being introduced'
The beauty of Obama's version of health care and new method epidemiology is the ability to use creative statistics and heirachical coding to turn an epidemics into random and isolated cases of no real concern.
The great orator and health care guru is oblivious to the spread of disease. Why heck, obamacare will save the day. Nothing like insurance for chagas disease. the 'kissing beatle lays its eggs in the moist corners of your mouth. the larvae end up infesting the heart like heart worm in a dog. The cure? Heart transplant. Not to worry obamacare insurance is here.
Like obama said, if the red pill cost more than the red pill and both are for the same indication it makes sense to mandate the cheaper pill. Profound words from Obama, the star graduate from the community organizer school of medicine. His medical ethicist Ezechial Emanuel who said, Obama meant you could keep your doctor if you could afford to keep your doctor. PERIOD. is on the job.
With an ethicist like EE at his side and Obamacare in full bloom....disease, shemease, 'what does it matter'!!!!

What are you saying, exactly? That your insurance shouldn't cover a disease that you pick up while travelling in a tropical country?
.......and what does this have to do with the thread subject?
Oh, right...you just wanted to get your anti-Obama digs in.
CBS: U.S. Border Patrol agents testing positive for TB, scabies, swine flu etc.
It's starting.
The risks of people coming in from foreign countries to the U.S. bearing diseases, has long been known. Our laws require all immigrants to undergo medical exams to find if they have communicable diseases such as TB, polio, plague etc., that have been eradicated or well-controlled in this country.
But now the Obama administration is letting hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to walk in, in defiance of our laws, with no medical exams, background checks, etc.
The results should surprise no one. In addition to bringing in gang members, rapists, child molesters, and murderers, we are also seeing virulent disease outbreaks in the detention centers hastily thrown up to contain these hordes of illegal aliens we cannot process.
And that's just the beginning. Border acilities are being so overwhelmed by the huge numbers flooding over the border, that the Fed govt is now shipping them to cities throughout the United States, where similar epidemics can begin.
And frequently they simply hand each illegal alien a piece of paper called a "Notice to Appear", telling him to report to a courtroom some months in the future, where his case will be examined and his deportation hearing set. And they release them into the general U.S. population, after a stay in a detention center where disease is spreading like wildfire. Unsurprisingly, very few of them do wha the notice says. They often laughingly refer to it as a "Notice to Disappear".... and they do, vanishing into the general population, with whatver communicable diseases they happen to be carrrying, or contracted in the border detention center.
Now even the U.S. Border Patrol agents staffing these detention centers, are turning up with these formerrly-rare diseases that have not been heard of for decades in the U.S.
Border Patrol Looking To House Immigrants In Abandoned Warehouses Along Rio Grande
June 27, 2014 5:21 AM
SOUTH TEXAS (KRLD) – “The local governments are being overwhelmed because of the possibilities for diseases.“ In San Antonio, federal officials say a child in a temporary shelter is still recovering from swine flu.
Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, says the unaccompanied child was recently hospitalized after being diagnosed with swine flu, or H1N1. Wolfe says officials believe this is an isolated incident but are closely monitoring all children at Lackland and other similar shelters the agency is operating around the country.
“That tells you that when you’ve got kids coming in from some of these countries where they don’t have great health systems, we gotta watch out,” says Cuellar. “I’ve talked to border patrol down in McAllen. They’ve seen TB; they’ve seen chicken pox; they’ve seen scabies. And according to Border Patrol, 4 or 5 of their agents have tested positive for those diseases.”

But but the left says that these people are better immunized than we are and that they are no risk...
And they are being flown by the planeloads to cities all over the US.
200 here, 400 there, etc. and they are doing these planeloads to cities 2-3 times a week.
That's right. The left cite all these CDC statistics that say these people all have their shots.
