New York City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan announced that illegal immigration has been ushering a new wave of tuberculosis and polio to the city.

In a citywide letter to physicians and healthcare administrators last week, Vasan said that the more than 50,000 illegal immigrants that have come to New York City since last year caused a spike in contagious diseases like tuberculosis and polio.

“Many people who recently arrived in NYC have lived in or traveled through countries with high rates of TB,” he wrote, as reported by the New York Post.


Tuberculosis can be cured with antibiotics and generally takes six to nine months to fully recover. According to the Post, the city’s TB rate is now more than double the national rate with 6.1 cases per 100,000.
“Close to nine out of 10 (88%) of these TB cases are people born outside the United States,” it noted. “Every neighborhood in the city has had at least one case.”

The Democrat Party hates America, and they are working very hard to destroy it.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The corrupt Democrat Party treats American citizens like they are their opposition.
Their open border policy is being implemented to replace American Citizen voters.

Parents send their kids to school.
Their kids catch TB and bring it home.
The parents go to work and spread TB to their co-workers........

What Trump did: In March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trump administration invoked Title 42, a controversial statute ostensibly meant as a public health measure.
The policy allowed US authorities to swiftly expel migrants - including asylum seekers - at the border.

Nearly 400,000 people were detained and expelled between its implementation and January 2021, when Mr Trump left the White House.

What Biden did: He defended keeping Title 42 in place, using the pandemic as justification.
Over 2.28 million people were expelled using Title 42 authority between January 2021 and March 2023, the last month for which data is available.
But when the US ended its coronavirus public health emergency on May 11, Title 42 expired with it.

To replace it, US immigration authorities unveiled a "carrot and stick" approach that encourages legal pathways, while also implementing strict penalties for those who cross illegally.
They have opened regional processing centres in Latin America aimed at helping migrants apply to come to the US and expanded access to CBP One, an app migrants can use to schedule asylum appointments.People who cross illegally will be deported, barred from re-entering the US for at least five years, and be "presumed ineligible for asylum", according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Under Title 42, there were no such consequences.

How Joe Biden and Donald Trump's border policies compare

President Biden promised a more humane approach but his border policy has been sharply criticised too.

Keeping us safe from those diseases is another example of institutional racism.

The most serious penalty is shipping them to the US city of their choice.
