New York City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan announced that illegal immigration has been ushering a new wave of tuberculosis and polio to the city.
In a citywide letter to physicians and healthcare administrators last week, Vasan said that the more than 50,000 illegal immigrants that have come to New York City since last year caused a spike in contagious diseases like tuberculosis and polio.“Many people who recently arrived in NYC have lived in or traveled through countries with high rates of TB,” he wrote, as reported by the New York Post.
Ya reaps what ya sows. You asked for them and now you got them, and their 3rd and 4th world problems. Self-fulfilling prophesy?

Gosh. No medical checks to enter ? I needed every vaccination under the sun and an extensive medical for my green card. Same again for citizenship. I hear leprosy is making a comeback too.

I'm not a bit surprised. My grandmother grew up at a time when TB was quite common and she was deathly afraid of it. My mother was a nurse and I still remember how relieved she was when they developed the polio vaccine. She marched us all down to get the shot. For a while there, I was hoping that the truly dangerous diseases were being wiped out. Then The Won got elected and the border when to pieces.

Way to go, Mayor Adams. You’ve turned New York City into Uganda.

They used to check immigrants for lice and bedbugs too. Now it's - come one, come all.

They leave out the fact that venereal disease is also on the rise.

Back when Immigration Laws were followed, we had a place called Ellis Island, just off Manhattan island, where immigrants were medically checked for diseases, and fitness to enter the USA without becoming a burden to society. And the immigrant needed a US sponsor to vouch for them or a job.
My 4 grandparents. from both sides, passed through Ellis Island.

They are just now waking up to the diseases coming in from illegal immigration?
I just read an article yesterday where people infected with leprosy have been crossing the border. Which can easily be spread by close contact, even from things one might not give a second thought to like hotel bed or bed pillow where illegals are being housed.
I can't wait to see the reaction in New York when they have to deal with a leprosy outbreak.

And I am certain that there are more "old, forgotten diseases" that are being brought in as "gifts" from every corner of the globe.
Central Florida is now the center of an outbreak of leprosy! We are living in truly sad times, where all the government agencies which were created to PROTECT US as a country, are working furiously to HARM US, and to import as many harmful diseases, and destructive forces as is possible.
Our government works to destroy the country, every day, all day.

I can recall when if you wanted to keep your job, or attend school, you had to take experimental shots, but people illegally entering the country weren't even checked.
I must be dreaming.

It's OK though, because you are a sanctuary City. You accept all comers. You're wonderful! Even your DA's let the crooks back out on the street. How nice.

Well, really, it's Joe Biden and the Democrat party that is bringing disease to America. You know, communicable diseases like tuberculosis and polio. And liberalism. And socialism. And communism.

This has been happening for decades. Diseases that were once wiped out in this country are coming back and the reason is illegals.

Re #3, I disagree that "the border went to pieces".....the border was OPENED UP and all efforts to let in more illegals was maximized, all impediments were removed.
"went to pieces" sounds like some sort of a natural process, like water eroding a gully.....this was a man-made, carefully planned, fully intentional thing.

And members of our armed forces were given dishonorable discharges for refusing the vaccine.
Dems are insane. They will destroy the country so they can rule over the ashes.

measles, mumps, chicken and small pox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever. Just take a look at https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2024/itineraries/mexico#infectious and see what diseases are a threat in Mexico at this time, or switch to any country in their "yellow book" and see what an open border leaves us open to.

A real bright Administration. They frown on US citizens who do not take vaccinations, but will let the illegals run rampant thru the streets of NY and elsewhere. Send them all back to there native country or to DC and Delaware. They will spread the good news or die of syphillis, polio, leprosy, TB, or drugs and we will still have the burden and expense of disposal. God help this country! Had enough of this so called POTUS and his bright ideas!
