foxnews | Unaccompanied illegal immigrant children with communicable diseases
have given or exposed federal agents to lice, scabies, tuberculosis and
chicken pox, according to a report issued Thursday by the Department of
Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.
In two cases, the children of a border patrol agent got chicken pox
contracted from their parents’ exposure to unaccompanied children with
chicken pox, according to the report on conditions of detention centers
and border facilities.
The report, the first in a series, is based on 87 unannounced visits
to 63 detention centers being used to house unaccompanied alien children
(UAC) in Texas, Arizona and California during July 1-16.
“Many UAC and family units require treatment for communicable
diseases, including respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, chicken pox,
and scabies,” said the memorandum summarizing the report.
“UAC and family unit illnesses and unfamiliarity with bathroom
facilities resulted in unsanitary conditions and exposure to human waste
in some holding facilities.
“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.”
Sources previously told FoxNews.com of multiple instances in which
Border Patrol agents were exposed to tuberculosis—and one instance in
which an agent contracted a severe case of tuberculosis from illegal
immigrants in his care.
Other sources told FoxNews.com that swine flu has been found at several detention centers in Texas.

I noticed kids in the US haven't been getting chicken pox for a while now. The adults probably had it when they were kids so they weren't affected. I don't remember anyone getting scabies or tb. So now I'm wondering if these kids even have parents back home.
Sooner than later more people of good will are going to come to their senses and see:
WE MUST TAKE THIS ENTIRE ISSUE OUT OF THE HANDS OF POLITICAL BIGOTS (RIGHT AND LEFT) IN AMERICA and appeal for MORE DIRECT (IN-COUNTRY) ENGAGEMENT at the "Human Level" for PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL AND CHARACTER.
* Lift up the Public Health Standards
* Lift up the Government Regulatory standards (against corruption)
* Employer the NATIVE PEOPLE to be the OPERATORS of this newly enhanced system, as the basis for EDUCATION and a job creating economy.
Not AMERICAN IMPERIALISM applied to these zones - but the interest of those who believe that all that they call "INTRINSIC RIGHTS for HUMANS" per their advocacy in America - are true because they enable it to be so, regardless of man made borders.
ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta) – The home base for Occupy Atlanta has tested positive for tuberculosis.
The Fulton County Health Department confirmed Wednesday that residents at the homeless shelter where protesters have been occupying have contracted the drug-resistant disease.
Straight.in.on.les.miserables...., elites got their deterrent and their cull games so tightly knit and defensible it's a thing of sinister beauty.
Not if they keep the neon sign off.
This is not a partisan or ideological comment. It is a balanced observation.
The conditions in West Africa (Ebola) and Central America (you all need to be watching the 2014 episodes of "Drug's Inc" - this is the best season so far). These environments are the epitome of "systematic dysfunction" and lack of productive resources that manifest as a "terror ecosystem" for the innocent people caught up within.
Imagine that you see "Americans" able to depart from Liberia or Libya because of their nationality - while you are trapped, forced to live with the pathogen (either a virus or violence) hoping that you survive.
The average American - inside of America - takes all that we have for granted. Left and right we operate based upon THEORY, without realizing that regardless of how wrong-headed these theories are - at least in the short run - they have no direct impact upon our lives. OR when we see the results we are able to blame the political enemy.
Just as with the recent "New York Magazine" article on the "HIV pre drug" which is now allowing gay men to return to "Sex clubs" and have multiple partners each night "raw" - the notion that a DRUG is going to cure us of everything allows for this type of abstracted thinking. Now with these DRUG RESISTANT strains of various pathogens - all of this THEORY will be put to rest.
Just as various African nations are forcing people into quarantine in order to prevent the spread of the Ebola pathogen - TO HELL WITH "CIVIL RIGHTS" - there is going to come a time in America where the crisis that crept up as we were "Fighting Windmills" creates the conditions by which the lifestyle you were lulled into adopting is going to be taken away.
