Tuberculosis Spawning in Crowded, Dirty ICE Detention Centers
Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.

Consumption is flourishing in immigration detention centers across the country, yet another sign that America is grinding its way through a second Gilded Age. It’s better known now by its other name, tuberculosis, and it’s the most deadly infectious disease in the world, the World Health Organization says, responsible for killing 1.5 million people each year, even though it’s both preventable and curable.

Detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California, according to news reports. One immigrant died days after a diagnosis of the disease in the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona, an ICE death notice shows. Detainees may have been exposed at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, according to a lawsuit. And in Washington state, several possible cases of tuberculosis in the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma were reported this month to state authorities, and one man was hospitalized for it, his attorney said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not respond to a request for comment. Officials have previously downplayed the presence of tuberculosis, the reports show, including responding to questions about the cases in Tacoma by saying, “This false claim needs to stop.”

That's because dirty, already infested with TB, illegal immigrants were allowed in by Biden without medical exams.

What better way to erode American Health and enrich Pharma? I bet they'll come up with a mRNA shot for that, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If they were required to receive medical exams and approriate vaccinations as a condition of legal entry, there would be fewer instances of $h!th0le diseases in America.

Tuberculosis was a problem amongst 1990s immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact.

Well, even IF that is true, then doesn't that show that those people were spreading it all over the U.S. or at least wherever they were picked up?

I've heard that it is pretty common in US prisons. I thought we oldie moldies got TB vacs as kids. That may not be the norm any longer.
