Incarcerated Immigrant Imports Measles Into Arizona
No need to travel all the way to Europe to celebrate the exotic diseases that have been enriching the multicultural tapestry thanks to uncontrolled Third World immigration. Measles has been introduced right here in Arizona:
An outbreak of measles that began with an inmate at a federal detention center for immigrants in central Arizona has now grown to 11 confirmed cases, officials said Monday.
Seven of those infected are inmates at the Eloy Detention Center, and four are workers at the facility, Pinal County Health Services spokesman Joe Pyritz said. …
The outbreak began when an infected inmate was brought to the facility and spread the disease to a worker, who had been vaccinated but caught the disease anyway. …
Health officials have identified 14 locations in Pinal and Maricopa counties where the infected workers may have exposed other people, including stores, restaurants and a tribal casino. …
A woman in Washington state died from measles last spring in the first measles death in the U.S. since 2003.
Measles spreads easily through coughs and sneezes. Complications can include blindness, inflammation of the brain, and pneumonia. More deaths are likely to follow, if not from this outbreak, then the next one. This is among the many reasons countries with functional, responsible governments regulate who crosses their borders.
