Docs Warn Migrants Bring Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Measles, & Syphilis Over Border.
Diseases including syphilis and tuberculosis carried across the border by illegal immigrants threaten New York City and the wider United States, doctors warn, including deadly drug-resistant strains. “When they are bussed to New York and elsewhere, these diseases go with them,” writes Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at New York University.
One physician working at the Texas border told Dr. Siegel that migrants were increasing the prevalence of tuberculosis resistant to antibiotics – a.k.a. “Super TB” – while other medics warned of migrants potentially causing a measles epidemic.
“Border Patrol and local agencies have seen all types of diseases like tuberculosis, scabies, COVID, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, chicken pox, dengue fever, etc.,” confirmed Arizona county sheriff Mark Lamb.
