Migrants who came with the caravan are suffering from respiratory infections, tuberculosis, chickenpox and other serious health issues, Tijuana's Health Department warned on Thursday morning.

The spokesman told Fox News that out of 6,000 migrants currently residing in the city, over a third of them (2,267) are being treated for health-related issues.

There are three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox, the spokesman said.

Also the National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events at USC just released a study proving most in the caravan aren't fleeing violence either. They just want an upgrade.

The longer they sit in TJ the less savory they look.
