Freedom Outpost
In a previous article on Freedom Outpost, it was reported that the influx of illegal immigrant children were crossing the southern border of the US with many contagious, infectious diseases, such as chicken pox, scabies, MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) infections, and tuberculosis. Yesterday, Newsmax reported that US Border Patrol agents have discovered four cases of the H1N1 (swine) flu virus among the illegal immigrant children at the Brownsville detention centers. Chris Cabrera, National Border Patrol Council Vice President, indicated that medical personnel at the two centers, Brownsville and Fort Brown border stations, had confirmed one case each on Friday and Saturday in children ages 10 to 12.
Cabrera stated in an interview, “Everybody who’s been in contact with them now is suspect that they have gotten it. That’s what we’re dealing with now.”
As a result, at least 120 people have been isolated after the exposure according to Cabrera. While medical personnel at the detention centers screen for lice, scabies and chicken pox, not everyone will get medical clearance. Cabrera added that the area had been quarantined along with everyone who was exposed and federal health officials had been notified. The conditions reported by Cabrera at the two centers was described as “overcrowded.”
KGBT-TV news reported that at least one more case of H1N1 flu had been diagnosed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, where illegal immigrants are detained. It is estimated that more than 1,800 minors have passed through the Lackland facility since the government began housing illegals there in May. Other military bases in Oklahoma and California have also been housing illegals.
Since the huge number of illegal immigrants, especially unaccompanied minors, have flooded the border to cross into the US, Republicans and conservatives alike have been sounding the alarm about the possibility of rampant, contagious diseases carried by these illegals that could infect our own population. Greater than 52,000 unaccompanied illegal immigrant juveniles have been detained and arrested since October. Many of these children come from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and other Central American countries.
