Deadly diseases crossing border with illegals
WND ^ | 19 June 14 | Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D.

A flood of illegals has massively surged at our southwestern borders. The economic impact of medical care, education and incarceration for illegals forced on taxpayers is bankrupting Arizona.

Why are such swarms entering the U.S. illegally NOW, particularly children? Newspapers in Mexico and Central and South America are actually describing U.S. “open borders,” encouraging people to come with promises of food stamps or “amnesty.” It is textbook Cloward-Piven strategy to overwhelm and collapse the economic and social systems, in order to replace them with a “new socialist order” under federal control.

Carried by this tsunami of illegals are the invisible “travelers” our politicians don’t like to mention: diseases the U.S. had controlled or virtually eradicated: tuberculosis (TB), Chagas disease, dengue fever, hepatitis, malaria, measles, plus more. I have been working on medical projects in Central and South America since 2009, so I am aware of problems these countries face from such diseases.

A public health crisis, the likes of which I have not seen in my lifetime, is looming. Hardest hit by exposures to these difficult-to-treat diseases will be elderly, children, immunosuppressed cancer-patients, patients with chronic lung disease or congestive heart failure. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is the most serious risk, but even diseases like measles can cause severe complications and death in older or immunocompromised patients.

TB is highly contagious – you catch it anywhere around infected people: schools, malls, buses, etc. The drug-resistant TB now coming across our borders requires a complex, extremely expensive treatment regimen that has serious side effects and a low cure rate.

Chagas, or “kissing bug” disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is carried by the triatomine bug that transmits disease to humans.

I would suggest that you have your kids inoculated against various diseases that would normally be encountered south of the border. Before I visited Mexico in 1991 to see a solar eclipse, I got some such inoculations.

Young parents should be highly upset. These unvaccinated children will be in the schools, daycare centers, parks and playgrounds with American children.

Unfortunately ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid we are all becoming numb to the banality of Evil. How can we not? Day after day, week after week, year after year. Nothing but pure Evil. Our solution is not political, it is Spiritual. We must all pray, in sincerity and earnestness. First, confess your own sins to God. Sin is a personal matter -- between you and your Creator.

Next, pray to Him. Ask for forgiveness of our nation, and for His intervention. Please. I beg of you all to do this. If God's heart is stirred, be prepared to be amazed.

This is just one of many "unintended consequences" of the border crisis.

Part of the problem with treating TB (beside the cost), is that it requires 6 months of following a strict medication regimen to the letter. How are they going to even treat anyone, when they are just dumping them on the streets?

What about our completely overwhelmed foster care/schools/medical systems for the basic care of all these children?

We can't even get a simple doctors appointment for our veterans. How will we deal with all this?
( One would suggest our useless inept government ask the churches and private sector for help/donations for this humanitarian disaster.)

Thanks power crazy libs.

Thanks greedy Gope "cheap labor" advocates.

The USA has too much wealth and too many jobs.
Let everyone in until the country is broken.

Brilliant plan @#$*%÷$#@!

Many years ago when I was about 35 I got a rash that looked kind of like that. Under my arms and across my chest, itched like hell. Went to the doc and he prescribed antibiotics for me. I said.....well what is it? His answer....who knows. With all the stuff coming across the border we don’t even try to find out. We just treat it.
