Location: Kansas | .......into our country with these children from Central America who are in turn being shipped all over the U.S and not being checked for illness beforehand.
Tuberculosis, scabies, dengue fever (seems to be a tropical disease spread by mosquitoes), lice, measles, chickenpox, and yes folks even the dreaded leprosy....just to name a few.

Location: Midwest | All those diseases, minus the dengue fever, already appear in the US and have been appearing in more frequent numbers as of late due to people deciding not to vaccinate their kids.
There are several TB cases every year in chicago alone. In the future I suppose they may start vaccinations for that if it becomes an issue. (I know they do vaccine for it currently in other countries, like Poland for ex) |

ETA: I believe they said the dengue fever is going to be a potential issue for those visiting the world cup- But that might have been another virus. They were hoping the WHO was going to announce a travel advisory to help combat the outbreak..... but again not sure if that was the same virus, or another one. Also I'm to lazy to google it.

Location: Kansas | This report comes from a doctor who foresees the possibility of a medical nightmare because of these immigrant children who are not being properly processed at the border. Also, guess who picks up the bills.
Leprosy?????

Leprosy is pretty abundant in third world countries.
There were approx 200 cases in 2009 in the US

News agencies can always find someone with credentials to forecast doom and despair..... When CDC and USAMRIID start issuing warnings, I'll start believing. |

| I work public safety in an area that is populated by approx 80% Hispanic immigrants. We also have a Pertussis outbreak and I heard a report of a large number of measles recently, too. Which is scary when you have itty bitty babies. Vaccinations!! They're not just for horses. |

Well Komet my sister is a Dr. for the CDC and they are very concerned. You may get your warning faster than you think. |

It shouldn't take much to open it right back up.

Armadillos carry Leprosy, it is a normal thing for them. So as long as we have armadillos, we will have sporadic cases of Leprosy. |

Using genetic sequencing machines, researchers were able to confirm that about a third of the leprosy cases that arise each year in the United States almost certainly result from contact with infected armadillos. The cases are concentrated in Louisiana and Texas, where some people hunt, skin and eat armadillos.

I have yet to see a live one here in Kansas but there are sure plenty of them laying belly-up on the highways.

I so agree with you about vaccinations. I have gotten into several discussions with others who don't believe in vaccinations> I just hope they dont live to regret their
dissions. My own personal experience is when I was 11 my 5 year sister died from measles. I vaccinate all my animals and I had my son get all his vaccinations when he
was young. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | US plans child migrant processing center in Texas
June 23, 2014 18:52 CDT
By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press
McALLEN, Texas (AP) -- The U.S. government has received permits to transform an empty 55,000-square foot warehouse in South Texas into a processing facility for unaccompanied child immigrants who have entered the country illegally.
Construction permits obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request show plans to build four pods inside the warehouse in McAllen that could eventually accommodate about 1,000 children. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors have been arrested since October after entering the United States illegally, a 99 percent increase on the same period a year earlier.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been processing children at a facility in Nogales, Arizona, but about three quarters of the children have been arrested in South Texas. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | No need to worry about vaccinations. They are just a money making hoax designed to make big $ for big pharma and we have all been misled, right? Herd immunity is just another unproven theory, right? Some people actually believe that diseases like whooping cough and measles would have been completely eliminated were it not for vaccines. Seems logical to me. Thank goodness these folks are bringing in these nice natural infectious diseases so we can all experience natural immunity. This should prove to be the biggest science project in history. |
