Disease Threat From Immigrant Children Wildly Overstated | The Texas Observer

-------------------------------------------
There are some kind-hearted people who are willing to offer help to the poor refugee children coming into the U.S. from Central America who are trying to escape from harm's way. Then there are those who blindly accuse them of carrying diseases just to try to scare others into banding together to not allow the children in, which is contrary to the intent of President Bush's 2008 Law.

The link to the article above, from a great Texas source, gives Excellent information that should hopefully dispel the myth and fear that the children come into this country carrying dangerous diseases.

Keep them nice and tight together at the detention centers.

 

[OKTexas]

Of course it's overstated, that's why a 700 bed facility is on indefinite lock down due to TB and chickenpox. Yep, definitely over stated.

Sounds very much like a rear-guard action. You've been smoked!

I agree...the only thing not overstated is Obabble's incompetence. It is endless, continuing, uninterrupted.

It's not just these kids.
It's illegals period.
Disease that we had gotten under control are now coming back.
We never had kids in our schools that had head lice yet it has been rising for the last 20 years or so because of illegals crossing our boarder.

A resurgence of deadly diseases: diseases once thought to be nearly eradicated in America, such as tuberculosis and leprosy, are now rising as illegal immigrants bring their health problems to our country. - Free Online Library

Illegal immigrants not only drain American healthcare resources but also present a new threat: diseases once thought nearly erased from the American medical dictionary, as well as new ones never before seen, are emerging across the country.

As the late Madeline Cosman demonstrated in the Journal of the American Physicians and Surgeons in 2005, and other newspapers and health organizations have widely reported, illegal immigrants carry loathsome diseases for which American medicine is ill-prepared.

Time was, she wrote, referring to her immigrant grandfather, immigrants were tested for infectious diseases and then quarantined or shipped back to the old country. Anyone who has seen the second Godfather film remembers young Vito Corleone's arrival at Ellis Island. Diagnosed with smallpox, he landed in confinement. Or, like Cosman, many Americans know of the stories of grandparents and great-grandparents fresh off the boat from the old country. The authorities checked them for disease.

"Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival and tested for tuberculosis," Cosman wrote. "Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country. That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy. Today, immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction to qualify for lawful permanent residency green cards. Illegal aliens simply cross our borders medically unexamined, hiding in their bodies any number of communicable diseases."

Among the deadly maladies pouring across the border is tuberculosis, mostly wiped out in modern America, Cosman writes, "thanks to excellent hygiene and powerful modern drugs." But now, multidrug resistant tuberculosis has arrived in America via Mexico and other third-world countries. "MDR-TB," she explained, "takes 24 months [to cure] with many expensive drugs that cost around $250,000, with toxic side effects. Each illegal with MDR-TB coughs and infects 10 to 30 people, who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later."

TB cases in Virginia jumped 17 percent in 2002, but Prince William County, alone, she reported, witnessed a 188-percent increase.

How can a "myth" be a few weeks old, and then have to be kept "alive"?

Are you yet another dingbat?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Now maybe Usmb liberals will take these kids into their section 8 apartments

 

[Katzndogz]

If we could put these children into home of gay caretakers we might solve a couple of problems.

No, but your convoluted logic however IS. Even though these stories did not originate just yesterday or even last week or the one before that, misinformed people just love to perpetuate that myth about the refugee children carrying dangerous diseases, stories that are simply fraught with great prejudice and ill will against them notwithstanding that those stories have been proven to be false. And since they have thus far refused to shut up about it, they are thus keeping the myth alive and who knows when it will ever end? Hope soon as it's now time.

Sorry. I cannot label any news report as a myth because the standard of a story and that of a myth cannot be the same. Myths are not myths without mythology. They can be considered inaccurate, lies, but at this point not myths.

You're a dingbat

It fits the narrative.

Funny= My Wife had three peds patients (mexican, of course) this weekend with TB. Yeah, nothing to worry about, right. You have school aged children? I would HIGHLY recommend that your children are vaccinated before school starts, fool. If not for your dumb ass - at least for your children.

You've been warned.
