A border patrol agent was diagnosed with scabies after processing undocumented immigrants in Otay Mesa, California, the agent's union representative said. Ronald Zermeno, health and safety director for the National Border Control Council union, said the agent told him that he observed several people with open sores while screening them in preparation to be released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Scabies is caused by a mite that burrows into skin and lays eggs, causing an intense itching and rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I was glad at first to see NBC News covering this, but then they closed with an emphasis on the “two sides” and the “division.” Always with the wrong message.
Shades of Gail Collins today explaining Obama’s poor approval numbers by saying he’s in his sixth year of his presidency, what do you expect. Everyone’s getting tired of him.
They will say anything, just anything, to cover up the truth.

Those illegals are coming from the RIo Grande Valley, where BP staff have been steam cleaning cells multiple times per shift.

Scabies! He was lucky. Coming soon to your neighborhood: leprosy, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, and that is just the start. Too difficult to name the rest.
