People who oppose immigration often argue that migrants bring disease with them, and that they then become a burden to health systems in their new countries because they’re so sick.
But that's not true, a team of experts argued in a new report released Wednesday.
In fact, they point out that immigrants make up a significant portion of the healthcare work forces in their new homelands.
"There is no evidence to show that migrants are spreading disease," said Dr. Paul Spiegel, who directs the Center for Humanitarian Health at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. "That is a false argument that is used to keep migrants out," Spiegel told NBC News.
"Contrary to the current political narrative portraying migrants as disease carriers who are a blight on society, migrants are an essential part of economic stability in the U.S.," added Terry McGovern, who heads Columbia University’s Department of Population and Family Health.

Somalia badly needs health care workers. We shouldn’t be selfish by taking all of theirs. < / sarcasm >
The majority of invading barbarians are on welfare. They bring diseases that have been nearly eradicated in this country. But we’re supposed to believe they are “an essential part of economic stability” and help fight disease?
How many lies do they think they can get away with?
This is like saying that the rapefugees in Europe aren’t committing sex assaults but are instead fighting sex predation.
Typical report that doesn’t break out legal versus illegal immigrants.
What about the deaths of American children from infectious diseases contracted from illegal kids allowed in the country during the Obama years?
Take a bow!

NBC #FakeNews: “Migrants don’t bring disease.”
Exactly! Immigrants don’t bring diseases, but illegal aliens do.
Most immigrant doctors do not come to the United States illegally.
Most disease is brought by illegal aliens.
The "study" lumps them together to confuse the issue in order to make propaganda.
The "public health" journals are, more and more, simply propaganda generators for Progressive ideology.
Right!
Winter doesn’t bring cold, it just brings entropic lack of heat.
A river doesn’t bring water, it helps move water.
Your car doesn’t move you, it helps the earth move beneath you
“Migrants don’t bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says”
The truth does not need to be stated like this. Only a lie needs to try to cajole you into believing it.
I wonder if Dr Paul Speigel visited Arizona. It was whooping cough free until the massive invasion began more than a decade ago. At least one major hospital closed in Tucson because it couldn’t handle the expense brought about by the influx of diseases the uninsured newbies brought to the USA.
Of course, the author is in Baltimore, so...
FWIW, I think it’s less about legal/illegal than where they’re from.
So screening and vaccinating are ineffective?

Many reports about the invaders at the Southern borders, euphemistically called “caravans,” say 1/3 or more are extremely sick. I am sure some of them are TB and other communicable diseases that previously were removed. Unchecked immigration has brought Polio and TB back to the USA: https://www.creators.com/read/walter-williams/08/18/immigrants-and-disease
This story is typical fake news. They equate health workers who are immigrants with invading illegals.
They are conflating foreign born doctors, with illegal aliens.
How can they do this with a straight face????
