It used to be normal protocol for immigration. That was when our gov’t wanted to protect its citizens.

The CDC is still trying to determine the reason for the uptick.

I got my tagline during the Ebola scare when they said it was nothing to concern ourselves with.

“”More than 70,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States annually for the past three decades by the federal government””

This isn’t anything that we can blame on obozo if those are the numbers for three decades but I doubt that’s an accurate figure - probably a LOT on the low side.

70,000 annually for 30 years = 210,000 refugees.. I would like to know what countries they came from that made us classify them as refugees. A ton of people seeking asylum (refugees) came from Iran but that was definitely before the middle ‘80’s...I would suspect that most of those were here before 1980 and I don’t think they brought 3rd world diseases with them.

I remember the TB sanitariums of the ‘50’s...no reason not to go back to that EXCEPT it won’t get done. There would be objections to it - and would probably be called discrimination. Send them back to wherever they came from and it won’t be discrimination - just returning them to their own home country. As if common sense would win the day.

“2,100,000 people””

You mean 210,000, right?

70,000 X three decades.
70,000 X 30 years.

Their numbers.

That was back in the day when my mother in law came over from Italy, worked in a sweatshop, sent money to her family so that they could come over, married a 1st generation Italian, worked hard & made a nice life. That is how it used to be done.

Joy,

The predictions here seem to have come to pass —

America’s Impending Tuberculosis Epidemic
July 10th, 2014
http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/44047.html

THINGS TO LOOK FOR
Forewarned is forearmed, so here are a list of “The TB Epidemic is here markers” to put in your social media and RSS feeds in terms of near future events –

• Mass orders of N95 masks by State, Federal or Military health systems.
• Mass orders of BCG vaccine by State, Federal or Military health systems.
• Shortages/price spike of the list of 10 standard TB antibiotics
• “Cone of silence” media reporting of TB in public hospitals or school stories that exclude the mention of illegal alien TB sufferers.
• Border Patrol Agent or health worker families becoming infected with TB from immigrant processing centers

Given the numbers of illegal immigrant children already released by the Obama Administration — and the further numbers it wants to release before President Obama leaves office — the only thing you can say for certain about the coming TB epidemic is that it is inevitable.

Why Pres. Obama’s open borders policies are going to kill our state and local health budgets, from the same article.

Note: LTBI - latent TB infection


COUNTING THE COST
A LTBI individual represents a 5% risk of developing active TB in the first 2 years of infection and is at a cumulative 10% risk of active TB over his or her lifetime. The US Army medical community estimates 1/3 of the world population has LTBI, with World Health Organization (WHO) data showing 9.2 million active TB cases and 1.7 million deaths annually.

By way of contrast, the 2010 estimate for the US LTBI population was at 4.2% (11 million people).

That 1/3 LTBI infection number for foreigners means that adding one million new illegal aliens results in 300,000(+) new people with LTBI, or a 3% increase in America’s pool of LTBI people over that 2010 estimate. Some 30,000 of these people will have an active TB in their lifetime, and if we are talking recently infected children, up to 15,000 of that may happen in the next 2-years.

Given the current Federal Judiciary enforced defacto Open Borders policy of “All illegal aliens have the rights of citizens,” it is impossible to enforce, for reasons of Public Health, long term detention for a full directly observed therapy (DOT) course for the TB positive that are harbored in that the 12-to-20 million and growing illegal immigrant community.

The willingness of American citizens to follow TB medical protocols can be shown by the fact that even with LTBI positive US servicemen — who are getting mandatory treatment under color of authority — only 50% complete a full drug therapy course for LTBI. Thus we are certain to see more and more antibiotic resistant strains of TB everywhere.

A collapse of the current non-vaccination based public health standards on TB (See the 1996 article “The Role of BCG Vaccine in the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis in the United States” in the notes below on the ‘track, isolate and treat’ standard model TB public health thinking) with the illegal alien community will be a huge budget issue for the Border Patrol, healthcare workers, emergency 1st responders, prisons…and increasingly Public Schools serving illegals.

The coming TB epidemic in the illegal population will force the public health system to require complete mandatory vaccination of children, all women planning to have children, healthcare workers, emergency 1st responders and prison populations nationwide for TB as the latent periods for TB will see all prisons and hospitals pretty much contaminated all the time.

The actuarial cost hit on public budget medical care coverage of families of Federal Border Patrol agents and Prison Guards infected with extremely resistant TB from Agent/Guard work related exposure will be mind boggling.

Open Border Insanity is rampant in today’s bizarre world.

Thanks for the ping. Like I said up the thread: Open borders insanity.
