HOMELAND SECURITY REPORT CONFIRMS DISEASES SPREADING AT BORDER FACILITIES
Breitbart ^ | 08/01/2014 | Kerry Pickett

Posted on 08/01/2014 12:13:18 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General released a memo on Thursday confirming the problem of communicable diseases that are being spread throughout detention centers.

The OIG outlined a two-week report from the beginning of the month on the detention of Unaccompanied Alien Children. According to DHS IG John Roth’s memo to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, the IG office continues to make unannounced site visits to numerous detention centers along the southern border where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are temporarily sheltering UACs.

The IG says they did not observe any misconduct or inappropriate conduct of DHS employees during their unannounced visits and did not receive any new complaints during their random interviews of UACs. However, the IG office stressed the problem of communicable diseases that are being spread at the detention centers.

“Many UAC and family units require treatment for communicable diseases, including respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, chicken pox, and scabies,” the IG report said. “UAC and family unit illnesses and unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities resulted in unsanitary conditions and exposure to human waste in some holding facilities.” The report continued:

Contract cleaners and OHS employees are working to maintain sanitary conditions. DHS employees reported exposure to communicable diseases and becoming sick on duty. For example, during a recent site visit to the Del Rio USBP Station and Del Rio Port of Entry, CBP personnel reported contracting scabies, lice, and chicken pox. Two CBP Officers reported that their children were diagnosed with chicken pox within days of the CBP Officers’ contact with a UAC who had chicken pox. In addition, USBP personnel at the Clint Station and Santa Teresa Station reported that they were potentially exposed to tuberculosis.

There are some where who will tell you that these silly diseases aren’t communicable. Just a figment of your imagination.

I’m starting to sense that the DNC’s “unaccompanied minor” invasion is about to turn into a disaster for the American people. Oh well. I voted for Palin in 2008 and Romney in 2012. Don’t blame me.

Those Americans who chose not to immunize their children may be in for a surprise.

And now we’re going to include Ebola into this mess.

I don’t know how bad it will get, but prepare for the worst scenario.

And the demoncraps and that s-— bag, Guitierez, keep spouting that the repubs are spreading “false” rumors of disease ridden illegals. So sick of the lying. There should be a legal way to challenge false statements made by pols, so that they are more circumspect in what they say.

Not to worry. They passed 0bamacare just for that reason.
They intended to do this when they passed the law.

Not there's anything wrong with that.

(Sick of the cabal that has been excusing every obamantion this POSOTUS has been responsible for.)

Remember the days of "Ayatolla @sshola"? Obama is the "Ebola @sshola".

Of course these "children" will bring diseases. The human traffickers should be arrested, the parents of minors should be charged with child abuse if they dare to set foot in this country, and the "children" sent back immediately

Our military has a huge budget, it defends borders of foreign countries, yet it is unwilling to protect or border. This is outrageous.

There you go. The illegal aliens in the detention centers are too stupid to flush the toilet and wash their hands.

The 3 black Amigos Obama, Holder and Jeh Johnson figured out that Fast & Furious works better with diseases rather than AK-47’s.
