Even super-left L.A. Times admits "serious diseases" brought in by illegals.

Illegals are by definition UNSCREENED and that is the problem. And yet obozo lets them invade by the millions and puts their disease-ridden kids in our schools.

L.A. Times Concedes Serious Diseases Come from Mexico Central America - Breitbart

feb 18 2015
During last summer’s border crisis, left-wing and mainstream media outlets mockedAmericans who were concerned that illegal immigrants may be carrying disease like Tuberculosis.

But in a story downplaying the measles threat from Mexico and Central America, the Los Angeles Times concedes that, “beyond measles, however, there are some serious diseases that are brought to the United States from Mexico and Central America.”

Tuberculosis is chief among those diseases, according to the Times, which noted that “in 2013, 65% of the tuberculosis cases in the U.S. occurred among foreign-born people”:

A majority of those people came from five countries: Mexico (1,233 cases), the Philippines (776 cases), India (495 cases), Vietnam (454 cases) and China (377 cases).

In an interview last year with Breitbart News during the border crisis, Dr. Jane Orient, an internal medicine specialist and the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), warned that diseases like Norovirus and chicken pox can potentially endanger Americans. And she specifically singled out Tuberculosis as a leading threat.

Orient said that while legal immigrants have been screened, the illegal immigrant juveniles “have no medical screenings and no vaccine records. They’re likely coming here with a number of infectious diseases that will spread like wildfire.”

It's part of his plan - do anything and everything he can to fuck up the country and harm Americans.

No persons coming from foreign countries are screened- not legal immigrants, not tourists, not returning Americans.

First of all- the LA Times article specifically says that the measles are not coming from Latin America as you have been screaming for weeks or months. Secondly the article doesn't blame illegal immigrants.

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh and others have blamed the current measles outbreak on children illegally crossing the southern border of the U.S.

"Children sick, healthy, you name it — poor, ill-educated, just tens of thousands of kids flooded the southern border all of last year," he said. "They were never examined before they got here. They were never examined after they got here and quarantined if they had a disease. They were just sent out across the country. Many of them had measles."

While there are many serious diseases that have moved north to the United States from Mexico and Central America, measles is not one of them.

Measles outbreak in California: What you need to know

Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras all have measles immunization programs comparable to the United States, making them unlikely sources of the outbreak.

According to the latest figures from the World Health Organization, the U.S. in 2012 had a measles vaccination rate of 91%; Mexico's was 89%, El Salvador's 94%, Guatemala's 85% and Honduras' 89%.

In this latest outbreak, measles has actually spread from the United States to Mexico, which has reported one case from exposure at Disneyland, the apparent epicenter of the outbreak.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the genotype of the measles virus in this country is identical to one that caused a serious outbreak in the Philippines in 2014.

In 2013, the CDC recorded 42 cases of measles that were brought into the U.S. from overseas. Of those, half of the infected people came from the World Health Organization's European region, which covers Europe and parts of central Asia.

A particularly large outbreak that year in North Carolina involving 22 people was traced to an unvaccinated person who had traveled to India.

Beyond measles, however, there are some serious diseases that are brought to the United States from Mexico and Central America. Chief among them is tuberculosis.

In 2013, 65% of the tuberculosis cases in the U.S. occurred among foreign-born people, according to the CDC.

A majority of those people came from five countries: Mexico (1,233 cases), the Philippines (776 cases), India (495 cases), Vietnam (454 cases) and China (377 cases).

"The foreign-born population has the bulk of TB cases, but they're not really spreading it beyond their communities," said Dr. Stephen Waterman of the CDC's U.S.-Mexico unit in the division of global migration and quarantine.

"I think it's very safe to say that immigrants coming into the United States are not transmitting new diseases to the general population in any way that is of important public health concern," he said.

Overall, tuberculosis rates are higher in Asia and Africa than they are in Mexico and Central America, Waterman said.

You just lied when you said that LA Times said:
