And they contribute to the economy, prevent crime, and improve education scores.

Are the migrants in this country illegally? Then they are “illegal” and they aren’t aliens.

Up is down! Black is White! Immigrunts good! Americans Bad!

They should tell the Aztecs this.

Getting tuberculosis from immigrants shows that you love diversity.

Ok, I read the whole tortured article to find the argument to support the headline.

The closest I got to them having fewer diseases is this

The two-year study found that international migrants are less likely than people in their host countries to die of heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases and other ills. The exceptions are hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV. But the study also found these infections are generally only spread within the affected immigrant communities and not to the wider population.

So, yes, the 25 year old men crossing over have fewer non-communicable old people’s diseases, but they have more communicable diseases. The way they fight disease is by working in health care, as if we wouldn’t have healthcare workers if they didn’t come over. I don’t believe the study makes a distinction between legal and illegal, either.

And in other news:

They all are graduates in STEM with advanced degrees from prestigious central american institutions here to improve all aspects of our society. They even bring with them the cure for cancer and solutions to all societal problems that vex us.

Do I have to add /s?

I would suggest that the ‘experts’ go and spend seven days in a holding facility with one-hundred migrants...of which seven will have active tuberculosis. I suspect the ‘experts’ will offer excuses why they don’t have time or think this might be unwise.

One-third of migrants in caravan are being treated for health issues, Tijuana health official says

Yeah. The measles outbreak verifies this. /sarc. When the virulent Ebola outbreak gets here, maybe the leftscum who see their family members die might get a clue. That’s assuming (probably wrongly) they even care about their families.

And in a related story: Experts say you can smoke your way to good health!

[stylin19a]

Cripes..headline talks about health study with illegal aliens...turns out to be RAT talking points for open borders\amnesty.

[MarMema]

Cheap and utterly pathetic crap. Europe is awakening and this is what they call news?

[alexander_busek]

Migrants don't bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says

According to the article's twisted logic ("migrants are young and healthy and actually RAISE - statistically - the general level of health in the countries they migrate to") the headline might just as well read:

Migrants lower general state of health in their home countries, report says

...because they are young and (with the exception of communicable diseases) healthy, when they leave their home countries, the general level of health in their home countries drops.

America should be ashamed, luring away all these healthy, young, productive, industrious workers from their home countries! And rather than encouraging "migrants" to fix OUR problems, America should pursuade them to stay home and fix the problems in their home countries!
