Chicago health officials have announced that a "small number" of tuberculosis (TB) cases have been reported at some migrant facilities following a recent outbreak of measles among migrants living in the Windy City's shelters.
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) said the TB cases were reported in "a few different shelters" in the city. However, officials did not disclose the exact number of confirmed cases or which shelter locations they originated from, Fox 32 Chicago reports.(snip)
The confirmed tuberculosis cases come as more than 55 measles cases have now been confirmed in Chicago, with the majority of those cases being reported in the Pilsen migrant shelter on Halsted Street.
"CDPH is aware of a small number of cases of TB among new arrivals in a few different shelters over the course of the response," the health agency said in a statement to Fox 32.(snip)
Raymond Lopez, a Chicago alderman, told "Fox and Friends" on Thursday morning that this outbreak could have been prevented had the migrants been required to follow the same vaccination rules as U.S. citizens.
"This is a crisis we could have avoided, just like with the measles, if we had simply instituted the American standard of vaccines upon all those migrants being shipped to the city of Chicago," Lopez said.
"Many of these individuals come with children, they are in our schools and all of those vaccination requirements that our kids are responsible for are waved for the migrant asylum seeker children. And that is putting the people, families and communities at risk."

“I will take once irradiated diseases brought in by illegals for $1000.00, Alex”.
This is why every Public Employee in the State should be required to take at least 2 Illegal Aliens into their homes to feed and care for.
Well isn’t that a shocker.
TB sure is making the news these days:

Huh, I wonder what it could be? Whatever it is you can bet your bottom dollar the Biden administration is working diligently to protect the American public (sarc).
And example of why 19th century immigrants from Europe were channeled through Ellis Island in NYC. To screen for unwanted diseases. Biden just doesn’t care, except for registering these illegals to vote for him this November. And possibly provide a 5th column of Isis/Hezbollah & ChiCom soldiers to attack this country in October.
Time for Biden to bring back MASK and VAX mandates ONLY for American Citizens. Will he demand firing those who do not comply?
Will Joey PUNISH American Citizens in favor of ILLEGAL Future Democrat Voters?
FJB and his ENTIRE Administration.
Who saw THAT coming??? /s
The US was free from “Lungers” for decades. So what happened? Measles is back, Malaria, possible screw worm flies...Now how did all that suddenly happen?
Every elected official should be required to take in 10 illegal aliens, and be fully responsible for their housing, feeding, health care, education, and all the legal ramifications of their behavior.
For NGOs: Every employee and officer gets 15. Same deal.
For Democrat voters: 8. Same deal.
And NOT ONE DIME, NOT ONE RED CENT of taxpayer money for any of them. No Hospital treatment mandates. No School mandates.
It should be little surprise that TB, all but eradicated in the US, is now back brought to you by the unscreened hoards of illegal immigrants pouring in from every third world dung heap. The Biden administration, by clandestinely flying these illegals all over the country, will make case tracing almost impossible. TB control will now revert to what it was 70 years ago with mobile chest x-ray machines and TB tests for every man woman and child.
It’s virtually a government sponsored attack on the U.S.
Drug-resistent TB?
