Federal, state and city health departments have issued public health alerts about increases of communicable diseases as illegal border crossers arrive in their communities.

Earlier this year, the New York City Health Commissioner instructed New York health-care providers to undergo several precautions and tests in light of "an alarming trend" of diseases spreading among illegal foreign nationals in New York City who arrived from the southern border. Dr. Ashwin Vasan expressed alarm about those arriving who hadn't been vaccinated for polio or chickenpox and were coming from countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis.

"Many people who recently arrived in NYC have lived in or traveled through countries with high rates of TB," he wrote in an April 11 letter to physicians and health care providers.

The CDC also issued an alert around the same time, saying, "For the second year in a row, TB disease cases in the U.S. have continued to rise, with concerning increases among young children and other groups at increased risk for TB disease." Cases presenting in children aged 4 and under was "particularly concerning because they usually result from recent transmission versus reactivation of long-standing latent TB infection," it said.

They are competely unchecked at the borders and they are bringing in all of the diseases this country had historically eradicated. They’re also bringing newer exotic diseases never seen in this country before. Disease bags.

Biden is derelict in his duties of office, bordering on treason.

Flood the hospitals, clinics, schools, hotels, welfare offices, jails, streets, with disease, drugs, criminals, and illiterates. This is all by design.

What fools we are for allowing it.

Not concerned enough to do medical checks and vaccinations at the border, though...

We have been so betrayed. Now we are subjected to all of this and we get to pay for those walking over our border spreading all this disease.

"What fools we are for allowing it."

No kidding. But people keep sending their own Congress Critter back to the House & Senate. It is absolutely horrible. The House incumbent re-election rate last cycle was NINETY FIVE PERCENT.

Guess who will get quarantined and forcefully "vaccinated"?
Us. Not the disease ridden migrants.

Another step toward Third-Worldism for the USA. Really depressing. But at least we have abortion access and no more mean tweets.

Heโ€™s well over the line of treason. He (really the shadowy leftists pulling his puppet strings) is (are) deliberately working to destroy this country and the principles it was founded upon. He and his fellow travelers on the left are every bit as much literal enemies of this nation as are Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or as was Osama bin Laden. These radical leftists should have been tried, convicted, and had their carbon footprints permanently erased long ago.

Instead of physicals and vaccinations, illegals get cell phones, money and transportation to the city of their choice. Does anyone in this government have more than two brain cells to recognize how stupid this is?

If you continue to leave your kids in public schools after this (in addition to the laundry list of leftist perversion they are teaching) you are either completely delusional and/or an idiot, or you just donโ€™t care about your kids.

So when good caring Democrats have children and grandchildren who get tuberculosis and polio do you think they’re going to make the connection between what they vote for and what’s happened to their children? Hell no.

I noted this phrase in the book I’m reading. While it was said in application to something else it seemed to me to apply extremely well to the modern left’s thinking processes.

“Embracing the irrational to redefine the rational”
