Andrea Widburg - American Thinker
. . . "one of the reasons nations have policed their borders has been to keep out diseases. Thanks to the Democrats’ open-door policy for illegal aliens, America has seen a resurgence of third-world diseases that had once become alien to America, things such as measles, TB, whooping cough, and even polio and dengue fever."
"The headline on a San Francisco news website is stunning: “‘This is a big outbreak’: Nearly 1 in 5 affected by TB at SF school.” Certainly, when I was growing up and living in San Francisco, such a headline would have been unimaginable, but now tuberculosis is a growing problem in California, a state with the single largest illegal immigrant population in America.
"According to SFGATE:
New data shows 18%, or nearly 1 in 5, of tested students and staff at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco were diagnosed with either latent or active tuberculosis during an outbreak that started in November.New testing is scheduled to start today.In total, 96% of the school community was tested, seven people were diagnosed with active cases during the course of the outbreak and 241 latent cases were reported, according to data released by the San Francisco Department of Public Health on April 27 to the school community. (Emphasis mine.)[snip]Tuberculosis remains a problem for California, where cases hit a 12-year high in 2025 with 2,150 reported. The state also had a “substantially higher” rate of disease in 2025 than the U.S. overall, the department said, with 5.4 infections per 100,000 people compared with about 3 per 100,000 nationwide.
"The news about Riordan follows reports from last week that two California high schools—one in San Diego, in the southernmost part of the state, and one in Fresno, in Central California—had experienced TB outbreaks. TB’s surge in both those regions made sense, given that they are where most of California’s enormous illegal alien population clusters. And yes, the fact that they’re illegal matters, because it means that they come from impoverished countries rife with disease, enter the U.S. without any medical barriers, and live in densely populated communities. All lawful applicants to America are screened for TB." . . . More...
Are Biden’s immigration policies allowing dangerous diseases into our country? Back in 2023 some worried about this.
. . . "Texas border counties have a TB rate triple the national average. At least TB is treatable. Polio, on the other hand, can paralyze you for life.Time will tell how big a threat the return of polio is. In the 1940s and early 1950s, thousands of Americans were permanently paralyzed by it, but vaccines ended that nightmare."
