Man With Flesh-Eating Bacteria Among Group of Migrants Detained at U.S.-Mexico Border

A man among a group of migrants detained in a desolate part of New Mexico near the border with Mexico has been diagnosed as infected with flesh-eating bacteria, the U.S. Border Patrol said Friday.

The man was taken to a hospital in recent days after telling a federal agent that he had a growing rash on his leg, U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Carlos Antunez said.

A statement from border patrol officials said the unidentified migrant will require extensive medical treatment. Antunez said he could not provide more details or the man’s condition.

Sometimes surgery is needed to remove the infected area. It’s rare for the infection to spread to other people. The man was detained near the small city of Lordsburg. His home country was not disclosed.

Another 300 migrants, mostly Central Americans, were detained Thursday south of Lordsburg near an official U.S.-Mexico border crossing, Antunez said. Some had illnesses and injuries and were taken to hospitals for treatment.

Spent a week one night brokedown in Lordsburg. Our RV overheated on the freeway so we limped into town and ‘camped’ for the night on the main drag. The train tracks run alongside the main drag and there was one freight train after another pulling through all night long. We mentioned that to the mechanic the next day and he says you get used to it. They have 198 trains passing through Lordsburg every day.

We are so screwed. Trump caved just like Bush 1 and he will lose the election. I despise the spineless republicans as much as the criminal democrats.

This might become significant if the left tries to block the wall, in the future.

At least Unca Sam is playing the Good Samaritan part quite well.

Yeah; I’d break your immigration ‘laws’ America; If I truly believed you actually MEANT this!!

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!”
cries she With silent lips.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Yep. The ancestors did not come dor health care but because they were fit and capable of settling the land on their own.

Oh?

Then why did so many sicken and die until the natives taught them how to live off of the land?

I remember a time when we, as a country, celebrated the elimination of certain diseases. It reduced the mortality rate and extended life spans.

Then obama started this crap of inviting and welcoming all these people from Central America who were/are carrying in all of those same diseases.

obama and his crew knew this. Part of his plan to bring this country down.

Costing the rest of us a fortune. Our insurance rates keep going up and hospital fees as well.

Yes. Stone Age people taught Steel Age people how to survive. And then Stone Age people died off from Iron Age people’s diseases.

And Steel Age people’s superior weapons and organization and writing and tools.....

My ancestors arrived at a time when they would have been stopped at Ellis Island and turned away for having such a medical disease.

My grandfather's little sister was refused entry at Ellis Island because she had an eye infection. His parents had to board the ship to bring her back to Trieste. Grandfather was 18 and stayed.

These large groups are coming in down here in the bootheel...same area near Antelope Wells. We have a barbwire cattle fence on the border here with vehicle barrier on both sides of the Port of Entry. The only real border fence there is around the Port of Entry. The large groups cross illegally then when apprehended by Border Patrol they say the magic word asylum so they can stay. These groups are treated very much like the Cubans used to be...feet on our soil along with the magic word and they are likely here forever. Those that do not qualify will be long gone when that is determined. Every group arrives with people who need medical attention, where they are arriving there are no medical services. Ties up a lot of our Border Patrol processing them and transporting them for medical and out to holding facilities. While Border Patrol is tied up with them the drugs come in, and illegals who have no intention of claiming asylum.

Thank you for posting this, most of the local papers here cannot be posted here- by their choice. Which makes zero sense to me.

Exactly! I have people ask me all the time who is paying for their medical? Who is going to pay for the kids they bring to be educated? And more... Well the answer is you are, I am, anyone who lives here is going to pay and keep paying. Not only for services for them to live but any that wind up in the criminal justice system...oh yes we will pay for that too in more ways than one.

It is part of the demoralization plan of satan.

In the abible Christ talks of a certain house master who has servants (the police) clean the house after a party (uninvited guets involved), only to reinvite even more demons the next time around to completely trash it to the despair of servants.

Illegal immigration is an abuse of the American family, the servant police and the infrastructure. This neo-capitalism at all costs including national destruction is a master possessed by satan reinviting people and unwanted guests to trash the country after each clean ups.

America is not repenting. As Stalin said, they will sell us ropes with which we will hang them.
