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.

What’s a little flesh-eating bacteria among friends?
unidentified migrant will require extensive medical treatment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paid for by you and me.
My ancestors arrived at a time when they would have been stopped at Ellis Island and turned away for having such a medical disease.
Too bad Trump can’t arrange for this person to lick all of Nancy’s silverware and use her toothbrush on the sly.
NM Ping List.
Oh this is just loverly...
Good thing he put off the emergency declaration for three weeks.
I’m sure he would have been put to the front of the line if he was an LGBTQ flesh-eater.
Send him to Pelosi’s house.
No, he's a walking biological weapon.
It’s just flesh eating bacteria that Americans won’t do.
Take him up to The House on The Hill and let him meet all his new commie ‘RAT representatives. Shake hands and sh*t.
I think it’s “immoral” that a good Catholic like Piglosi doesn’t take him in and care for him until he’s better.
Send him to Pelosi’s house.

Diseases being brought here is the story no one will cover. Trump really needs to talk about this a lot. IMO
Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all.
It is obvious those doing the trip are doing it for the health care... kind of like those trying to join the army hiding their messed up knees for same reason...
Yep. The ancestors did not come dor health care but because they were fit and capable of settling the land on their own.
Have driven through Lordsburg. On the 10 freeway. Already stay away from the 8. Looks like the 10 is no longer useable. The idiots causing this are gonna pay.
