Here is an angle of the illegal immigration story most mainstream media have avoided like the bubonic plague….but is being pursued by at least some activist groups, and covered by at least some (almost always rightward) media – for which we owe them a major debt of gratitude.
Excerpted from Matthew Vadum\’s illuminating – and bone-chilling – essay at frontpagemag.com:
Even as exotic new diseases and nearly-eradicated old ones keep popping up across the nation, the Obama administration is unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent, to the public health threat that Third World illegal aliens pose to the American public.
This isn\’t an observation from would-be GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump or some wild-eyed rube — it\’s a devastating criticism that comes from two public health experts at the government\’s own Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It comes as deadly diseases surface or make a comeback in the U.S. Among those ailments are tuberculosis, pneumonia, paralysis-causing acute flaccid myelitis, dengue fever, swine flu, and enterovirus D68.
The two patriotic U.S. government employees, CDC Logistics Management Specialist George Roark and CDC Public Health Advisor William Adams were revealed to have complained in a series of emails June 9 last year about Obama rolling out a very long red carpet for people who have no right to be here and no desire to obey America\’s laws. This was around the time the Obama administration was trying to cover up the concentration camp-like facilities in which it was detaining Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs).
Their comments were contained in an email exchange obtained by good-government group Judicial Watch in which the two officials rightly trashed President Obama for allowing a flood of sick young illegals into the United States.
In the email exchange between Roark and Adams, Adams wrote that “no country in the world would allow” Obama\’s massive influx of unwanted foreigners.
“I don’t think there is any health care professional who has examined the fact, who can honestly say that Americans have not died because of the diseases brought into America by illegal aliens who are not properly healthcare-screened as lawful immigrants are,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), said on the Matt Murphy radio show earlier this year.
Former Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) wrote a letter last year to the head of the CDC stating that the multitudes of minors entering the country illegally carry with them deadly diseases put the American public and Border Patrol agents in jeopardy. Among those maladies are dengue fever, swine flu, and possibly Ebola virus and tuberculosis, said Gingrey, a medical doctor who specializes in obstetrics.
Most of the aliens, categorized as UACs, hail from Central America and some of them undoubtedly bring infectious Third World diseases that have become rare in the U.S.
The article – which I beg you to read in its entirety – goes on to give a number of specific examples – i.e. outbreaks of diseases that had been rare to virtually nonexistent in the USA until Obama & Co. opened the floodgates.
Proponents of President Obama\’s immigration policy will assure you that the vast majority of illegals are just poor people looking for work and willing to take “the jobs no one else will” (funny how those jobs were taken before the illegals overwhelmed us – does any sane person think no one did them until then?).
But, aside from the obvious asininity of such a ridiculous generalization/stereotype, they forget to mention that the quality of health care from where these illegals have lived, and its consequences, are coming across the border as well.
What does Mr. Obama say about this? Nothing.
What mainstream media are demanding answers about it? Virtually none.
Who will be blamed when the existence, and spread, of these diseases becomes too pervasive to hide?
Bush, of course? Who else?
There are about 18 months left to this nightmare of an administration. I count the seconds until it is gone.
