For long-time readers of RRW this should not be a surprise. Our normal refugee resettlement program allows refugees screened abroad with both TB and HIV/AIDS to enter the country, why would we expect that somehow the unscreened are all free of infectious diseases. (Hey, sure is good that we have Obamacare to take care of them all!)
See our post in March about how the foreign-born represent most of US TB cases, here.
TB germs spread through coughing. Those Baptists contracted by the feds to take care of the “children” are brave!
Here is the latest disturbing news from Todd Starnes at Fox News (Hat tip: Joanne):
Are the thousands of illegal immigrant kids housed in detention facilities happy and well fed — or are they living in disease-infested compounds shrouded in secrecy?
Well, it depends on who you ask.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seems to think the children coming across the southern border are remarkably healthy. It’s a sentiment shared by BCFS — the Texas-based agency formerly known as Baptist Child & Family Services contracted to run camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
[….]
However, 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.
Several of my sources tell me that tuberculosis has become a dangerous issue at both the border and the camps.
Read the whole thing yourself (if you can stand it!). I’m weary of the invasion news! Tomorrow we need to return to some other refugee news items that have fallen by the wayside in the last week!

VDARE posted a call to action last night for you to contact your state refugee coordinator this week and ask: are the unaccompanied alien minors(UACs) coming to your state?
And, by the way, the federal refugeecontractors have action alerts outthis week to their open borders activists to call Congress for more money for them (the children and the contractor)!
Protesters turn back Homeland Security buses in Murietta, CA last week. http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/2014/07/01/protesters-turn-back-busloads-immigrants-murrieta/11945751/
Hard information on the phony refugee (“The children!”) surge at the Southwest border is hard to come by. This is true even if you’re a congressman—when Jim Bidenstine (R- OK) showed up at a holding camp in his home state he was stonewalled.
[….]
Between the ballot boxes (months away) and “the streets” (rare to nonexistent in American history) there’s citizen pressure on our despotic elites and their kept bureaucrats.
This is where VDARE.com readers come in. Are swarms of “The children!” coming to your state?
If they are, your state’s refugee coordinator will probably be among the first to know.So phone “your” coordinator – contact information is below—and, politely, ask basic questions such as Where? When? How Many? and What’s it going to cost state and local taxpayers?
[….]
The week starting Monday, July 7 is the time to phone, as VDARE.com has learned that at least some of the coordinators will be on a conference call with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement during the week. It will help if the coordinators are made to understand that many of their fellow citizens are very concerned.
Read it all for more information and to follow the links!
Here and below is a complete list of Refugee resettlement employees in your state, if you can’t get the coordinator, try one of the others especially see the contact information for “regional reps.” Even those “health coordinators” are going to be informed in light of the health issues the “children” will be bringing to the state.

Be sure to see Neil Munro’s good post at the Daily Caller. Many of the UIATMs have already been moved to a town near you! http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/05/border-meltdown-obama-delivering-290000-illegals-to-u-s-homes/
When we first began reporting on the illegal aliens who are under 18 years old, they were called ‘unaccompanied minors.’ That was a few years ago. More recently they became ‘unaccompanied alien children’ (UACs) in government lingo. Now we learn that the word alien has been dropped in favor of ‘unaccompanied children.’ Here at Breitbart.
We note that in the big lobbying push by the contractors*** for more of your money (for the children), here for example, that they are calling the youthful law breakers—UICs—which stands for the politically-correct ‘unaccompanied immigrant children.’
How about the more accurate acronym UIATMs–unaccompanied illegal alien teenaged males—a little awkward, but more accurate.
All of our previous coverage of ‘unaccompanied minors’ ishere.
Call your state’s refugee resettlement coordinator, here, and find out if you will be getting some “children” too! And, while you are at it, call the contractors too—looks like all of them are getting federal cashola for the children.
Just for a little change of pace tonight from the ever-expanding crisis on the border, ho-hum we will return to our never-ending Somali crime stories. This time from Boston last week….
Somali Said Said facing rape charges in Massachusetts. Photo: Boston Globe
From theBoston Herald (Hat tip: crime sleuth ‘pungentpeppers’):
A second reported rape in the Seaport District by a livery driver in less than a year has the city’s taxi union and a South Boston state representative demanding a crackdown before another young woman is attacked in the trendy nightspot.
“This is a real public safety issue, particularly for women in my district,” said Southie state Rep. Nick Collins. “It’s something that we have to resolve and I’ll be looking to work with the city to come up with some new legislation.”
Said Said, 40, of 97 Doane St., Quincy, was ordered held on $35,000 cash bail yesterday at his arraignment in South Boston District Court after pleading innocent to charges of aggravated rape, unarmed robbery and receiving stolen property.
Police allege that at midnight Sunday, Said, who is of Somali descent, picked up a woman in a livery minivan outside Legal Harborside restaurant on Northern Avenue and took her to a deserted South Boston location, where he raped her and stole her cellphone, cash and credit cards before dropping her off on State Street.
He used the victim’s credit card. Pretty dumb wouldn’t you say!
Police said they were able to track down Said after he was reportedly caught on surveillance camera using the alleged victim’s credit card to make a purchase at a Walgreens Pharmacy in Quincy.
The victim identified Said in a photo array set up by Boston police, according to court documents.
Attack is similar to one that occurred last summer:
Sunday’s alleged assault was eerily similar to an attack that occurred Aug. 6, 2013, when a woman told police she flagged down a livery sedan in South Boston thinking it was a taxi and was instead driven to a secluded area in Newton, where she was raped and assaulted by the driver.
Using this opportunity to educate all of the new readers the ‘unaccompanied children’ are bringing to RRW, see this important testimony to the US State Department by a former refugee resettlement worker in Boston.
Hundreds of migrants on US border found with scabies. This story is from April. Imagine what it is now! http://www.valleycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=1038209#.U7VcfkCinC0
The latest story is at InfoWars yesterday (hat tip: Drudge):
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responding to the public health crisis spurred by the recent surge of illegal immigrants by activating an emergency facility designed to monitor and coordinate “emergency response activities to public health threats,” the agency admitted to Infowars Tuesday.
In a taped phone call, a CDC information hotline representative confirmed that, unbeknownst to the American public, the agency has activated their intelligence arm, the Emergency Operation Center, to deal with various diseases accompanying the surge of illegal aliens currently staging a virtually uncontested U.S. invasion.
“In response to this influx of unaccompanied alien children, CDC’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) has been activated,” the CDC rep stated, likely reading from a script. “Through this activation the EOC will work closely with the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine. CDC staff will consult on health issues and the UAC’s countries of origin, consult on shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene and provide staff for public health support.”
Thanks to everyone who sent us the story from earlier this week at The Blaze (medical staff threatened, told to keep silent about health crisis).
“When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant — ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” a nurse told Starnes. “But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.
See our Health Issues category for a catalog of all the health (both mental and physical) problems (Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDs as well) refugees and other migrants bring to America. As we have often commented, forget terrorism or the social costs, it will be the threat of one’s children contracting some awful contagious disease that will wake up the generally tuned-out public to the immigration apocalypse we are now facing.
See all of our posts on ‘unaccompanied minors’ (mostly teenaged boys), here.
