Health Screening Is Yet Another Benefit to Keeping the Caravan in Tijuana
 
By Andrew R. Arthur on November 29, 2018

In my last post, I detailed the benefits of keeping the caravan of over 5,000 migrants, mostly from Central American countries, in Tijuana. Recent news brings a new one: health concerns amongst that group.

On November 29, 2018, Fox News reported, as its headline states: "One-third of migrants in caravan are being treated for health issues, Tijuana health official says". That article begins with a shocking claim: "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."

Specifically, Fox News indicates that the health department spokesman stated that out of the 6,000 migrants who were in the city of Tijuana, "over a third of them (2,267) are being treated for health-related issues," including "three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox." In addition, more than 100 of those individuals have lice, and several have skin infections. While this is shocking, it is also somewhat unsurprising.

Yep but on a positive not they have closed down the Tijuana encampment and are bussing these people 11 miles away to covered shelter.  They are no longer feeding people or having bathroom facilities at the Tijuana encampment.

The Tijuana Mayor did an interview with FOX new suggesting that organizers should be prosecuted.  Its a humanitarian nightmare.  Some are refusing to leave Tijuana because they say the border is too far.  I hope the citizens of Tijuana are armed because I see a wave of crime coming.
