Border Agent Contracts Scabies After Handling Undocumented Immigrants
A border patrol agent was diagnosed with scabies after processing undocumented immigrants in Otay Mesa, California, the agent's union representative said. Ronald Zermeno, health and safety director for the National Border Control Council union, said the agent told him that he observed several people with open sores while screening them in preparation to be released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Scabies is caused by a mite that burrows into skin and lays eggs, causing an intense itching and rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a letter to the chief patrol agent of San Diego's U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Zermeno said border patrol agents processing the undocumented immigrants were told that those arriving in California had been pre-screened for health conditions. Agents in California, however, were not advised to decontaminate themselves or their uniforms, he added. "This demonstrates that we are not properly trained to identify infectious disease and to properly respond when we suspect a disease," Zermeno said. U.S Customs and Border Protection officials did not immediately return NBC News' request for comment.

So, preview of what is coming to malls and schools near you. We truly need some kind of Congressional emergency action before campaigning starts. an action that will protect Americans and legal immigrants. I think it is their job?
If not we need to harass them on the trail hard enough to send them scurrying back to D.C. Parents of school children should be at every campaign appearance!!
