A commonly overlooked threat with regard to the problem with the unregulated pouring of illegal immigrants across the Southern border is the entrance of individuals with serious, contagious infectious diseases. According to the report by ABC15 Arizona, border patrol agents are seeing illegals crossing the border who have infectious diseases then being transported all over the country increasing their concern over a viral outbreak in the United States. So far, agents have reported seeing scabies, chicken pox, MRSA staph infections and other different viruses.
In fact, according to Border Agent and Grande Valley Union representative Chris Cabrera, some border patrol agents have contracted scabies. Cabrera said, "There's been an outbreak of scabies that's been going on for the past month."

While detention facilities have quarantined areas for illegal immigrants who are sick, the only barrier separating the healthy from the unhealthy is yellow caution tape according to Cabrera.
Cabrera stated, "We are sending people everywhere. The average person doesn't know what's going on down here."
Jorge Garcia, Texas border resident, stated he believed the contagious viruses are not confined solely to the detention center. In fact, Garcia told ABC15 Arizona, a group of illegal border crosses knocked at his door with a sick 7 month old infant. Garcia stated the infant had a high fever and was shaking. Garcia also indicated that word of the contagious skin infections was spreading and causing concern.
"Just the fact that we are exposed to it, and so is everyone here in south Texas, it's a great concern to us," Garcia said.
Immigration laws serve several purposes. Not only does it protect citizens from an invasion of cultures that seek to subvert our government, it protects citizens from an invasion of potential health risks that could be devastating to our population and health care system. When an American decides to travel internationally for a visit or extended stay, the individual is required to check into required immunizations for the area. This is not only to protect the individual, but also our population from individuals returning with a contagion that could cause a pandemic. Are Americans supposed to accept the risk of potential contagions brought in by illegal immigrants because of some “touchy, feely, break our heart” liberal rhetoric peddled by the left and now our own government?
According to the amnesty pushers, the answer to that would be “yes,” as us anti-amnesty individuals and/or conservatives are against immigration, are racist and are an entire list of other names. Just to clarify, as an individual who is conservative and against amnesty, I am not against immigration. Anyone who seeks to live in America, become an American and integrate into our society and culture are welcome as long as they follow our immigration laws.
Those who come to America by not following the immigration law or bypassing our immigration laws are breaking the law, period, and do not deserve amnesty or pathway to citizenship regardless of age, gender, or how they got here.
If you have time....I encourage all to read the entire article at the link. It’s worth it.
Are these diseases the new ‘dirty bombs’ carried by humans? Just askin’.
I almost posted something similar and hesitated, but since you brought it up....a resounding YES. We’ll have sickly all over the country infecting the healthy. Often these illegals are heading to other family that is illegal or here legally and somewhat poor..so they’ll be on Obamacare and we’ll also pay for their illnesses while battling our own. Fine mess Obama has contrived, huh?
Obama’s smallpox blankets.
only few are children..the rest are teens, young adults and gang members.they are already Anti American which qualifies them for Obam’s army. Ready to vote in 2016
Published by Diario El Mundo in El Salvador:
“Almost all agree that a child who crossed the border illegally with their parents, or in search of a father or a better life, was not making an adult choice to break our laws, and should be treated differently than adult violators of the law.”
(The news story is about a new two-year extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy....thanks to the Obama administration’s decision to extend it they are encouraging more democratic voters...I mean illegals to enter the country.)
Barack Ebola must be impeached (stolen from another Freeper)
I agree, they where likely brought here against their will...
So with that in mind, when they are of age to apply for citizenship I will not hold their prior boarder jumping against them when I look at their application.
But they are *still* going home until that time.
Why? To be convinced that this invasion is dangerous? That there are reasons for borders and national sovereignty and laws and protection of the citizens and that we can’t take on the problems of the whole world?

This problem will be concentrated in 3 groups, the very young, the old, and the group that for one reason or another have a compromised immune condition. Those 3 groups I would venture to guess are the most expensive to treat for ongoing medical problems. Think this is just incompetence? Or is it a planned action aimed to take out these groups?
I am not a doctor but I am also not a fool. I see each day on FR posts saying Obama is incompetent, I believe that is a smoke screen, put out by people who secretly back Obama or are stupid. Obama and his crew of monsters know exactly what they are doing, to think otherwise is to provide cover for them while they commit what is basically genocide.
As I said I am not a doctor but I did not just fall off the turnip truck either.
Just to prove it, we'll "pink slip" our military to pay for the Blue Light Specials...
What better way to spread terror? Get some kids sick with something awful like Ebola or Swine Flu—or Bird Flu. It wouldn’t be hard to infect them with candy or a sandwich—then let them cross the border and get people ill. Get enough sick and the USA will be hit with a pandemic that will cause us to become a second class power in a month. Terrorists don’t care if lots of children die.
The silver lining is that these pink slipped vets will now be back here where they can help when the collapse comes. They have valuable skills we will need in order to clean the cesspool, if the Republic is to ever rise again.
Scabies and lice are bad enough in a healthy society but when a person spreads it that has diseases its catastrophic.
