SOURCE: ILLEGALS AREN'T ALL MEDICALLY SCREENED PRIOR TO BEING HOUSED

HOUSTON, Texas--Breitbart Texas has learned that many of the illegal immigrants who continue to flood the U.S.-Mexico border are never medically screened before being housed in taxpayer subsidized shelters.

Ramiro Cordero--a Border Patrol spokesman in El Paso, Texas--told Breitbart Texas that instead of administering thorough medical checks, "we ask a series of verbal questions. We talk to the people to determine if we need to take them for further medical care."

He added, "We're not medical providers."

If Border Patrol agents determine, through verbal interactions, that a specific illegal immigrant is diseased, that migrant will be sent to a nearby hospital for proper care. If they are deemed to be healthy, they are sent via plane or bus to a federal housing unit.

Cordero also mentioned that most of the migrants are being transported to El Paso from Texas' Rio Grande Valley area via chartered commercial airliners. This has raised concerns that any U.S. citizen who flies on the aircraft afterwards could potentially face serious health risks.

Consistent with Cordero's claims, ABC News recently obtained an internal Department of Defense memo which stated that President Obama's Health and Human Services Department has identified a medical "breakdown" at the border. The document claimed that two undocumented children were flown from Arizona to California, despite the fact that they each had a fever of over 100 degrees.

Since the new year, myriad illnesses--including scabies, chicken pox, and tuberculosis (TB)--have been identified within the illegal immigrant population.

Some illnesses, such as TB, are not easily identified without legitimate medical checks. "You can spend years without getting medical care for TB," Cordero pointed out. TB is usually found in the lungs and can be fatal. The infectious disease is typically spread through the air and contracted via sneezes or coughs. Several cases of the disease have already been identified within the illegal immigrant population--but the fear of TB's potential to spread is ultimately heightened when infected individuals are released into the general U.S. population.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet--an experienced physician and nationally recognized speaker--previously told Breitbart Texas, "Many people are trying to diminish the seriousness of this. They say, 'We have these diseases in the U.S.' Well yes, we do, but they've been well controlled, we have good hygiene, and most of our parents keep children home when they're sick."

Most of the foreigners are being kept in overcrowded facilities ridden with poor hygiene; this is the ideal condition for a viral outbreak, according to Vliet.

As the tidal wave of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border shows no signs of downsizing, it is unclear at this point how the Obama Administration will address the serious health threats that could accompany the new population.

Well, I believe I will e-mail my delegation and again (it will make 5th time) not to come home until they have relieved schools of accepting these kids! Knowing this was coming, where were federal medical authorities, Surgeon General, CDC, FDA, etc? Is anyone in Washington interested in the welfare of Americans?

It is difficult to prove that they are!

Government Cover-up: Nurse says “They’re going to crush the system. We can’t sustain this.”

Jeff Schwilk, spokesman for San Diegans for Secure Borders Coalition, tells PolitiChicks, that his Border Patrol Agent sources report nearly 25% of the illegal immigrants on the first three flights from the border into San Diego were carriers of contagious diseases. About 100 out of 420 illegal aliens have active scabies. There are reports of coughing up of blood, lice, and fevers, all indicative of disease, sickness, or infection.

His sources indicate that the medical screeners are not able to use the same protocol followed when processing legal immigrants due to the system overload. There are no legitimate quarantine quarters or required clearances due to the massive numbers of illegal aliens coming into Texas. Some treatment is rendered and then they are released into the general population, transferred by plane or bus to their destinations.

Schwilk tells PolitiChicks that a 6^th Border Patrol Agent has contracted scabies. Medical staff and the Border Patrol Agents are the first line responders, and as such are subjected to the health issues themselves. They are doing the best that they can but the situation is overwhelming.

Schwilk is just one activist reporting what could be called a government engineered occupation of America by third world illegal immigrants, putting our national health at risk.Reports are flooding the internet media supporting his information.

Government suppression of the health crisis is being leaked. Border medical personnel have been threatened with arrest by those being referred to as the “Brown Shirts”. Todd Starnes reports, “These government-contracted security forces have threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they disclose any information about the contagion threat looming at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. . .” One counselor said the workers were “stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired.” Both a counselor and nurse said their supervisors were attempting to cover up the extent of the illnesses. Lice are at an epidemic proportion. Workers are warned not to use the term “scabies”. One counselor reported the facility resembles a giant emergency room—“off limits to the public”. Another nurse observed, “They’re going to crush the system. We can’t sustain this. They are overwhelming the system. I think it’s a travesty.”

A Texas-based agency formerly known as Baptist Child & Family, now as BCFS, have been contracted to run camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill in Oklahoma. According to BCFS, over 7,000 children have been processed through the two camps. They report that, contend, “only 119 children have been treated for lice, 22 for scabies, and one for the H1N1 Flu. BCFS says the most common illnesses seen at Lackland are fever, headache, upper respiratory cold and ingrown toenails. Numbers of illnesses vary between officials and nurses. TB is suspected but officials say that is not unusual.” However, Todd Starnes reports that. “at least a half dozen anonymous sources, including nurses and health care providers who worked at Lackland, allege that the government is covering up what they believe to be a very serious health threat.” Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at New York University’s Langone Medical Center and a Fox News A Teammedical contributor, said, “Tuberculosis appears to be spreading through several counties in southern Texas.” He told Starnes, “that some counties are reporting twice the usual average number of cases. Some of the tuberculosis that comes from Central America is drug resistant. It’s not easier to spread but it is harder to treat. I’m concerned about that.”

Another gag order was given to a California Border Patrol union representative. “Ron Zermeno toldABC 10 San Diego that he has been placed under a gag order in an attempt to avoid negative news about the state of the southern border from getting out to the public. Zermeno said that the order was designed to prevent him from saying that no agents will be securing the southern border.”
