CARAVANS BRINGING DISEASE: THREATEN HEALTHCARE OVERWHELM & METASTASIZING DEFICITS

“‘Alex Mensing, a U.S.-based organizer with the group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which is providing humanitarian assistance to the migrants, said the size of the caravan has swelled to 10,000 people.’ [USA Today 10/25/18]

“In fact, it is families and children who benefit the most from those loopholes, as the White House has suggested. As a result, it notes:

“We have seen a record-shattering surge in the arrival of family units, with more than 161,000 family unit apprehensions and inadmissibles in fiscal year (FY) 2018.

“This historic surge was 42 percent higher than any previous year on record.

“In the last three months, family unit apprehensions made up the highest percentage of total apprehensions in history.

“Tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors continue to stream across our borders.

“Unaccompanied minor apprehensions and inadmissibles totaled 58,660 in FY 2018, an increase of nearly 10,000, or approximately 20 percent, compared to FY 2017."

A. Arthur, via CIS, 10/26/18

But the foregoing just relates to family Units … the latest reports are that Fully 70% of the Caravan are young males (Fox News 10/31/18).

DISEASE

“The Immigration and Nationality Act mandates that all immigrants and refugees undergo a medical screening examination to determine whether they have an inadmissible health condition. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has technical instructions for medical examination of prospective immigrants in their home countries before they are permitted to enter the U.S. …

“But what about people who enter our country illegally? The CDC specifically cites the possibility of the cross-border movement of HIV, measles, pertussis, rubella, rabies, hepatitis A, influenza, tuberculosis, shigellosis and syphilis. Chris Cabrera, a Border Patrol agent in South Texas, warned: ‘What’s coming over into the U.S. could harm everyone. We are starting to see scabies, chickenpox, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and different viruses.’ Some of the youngsters illegally entering our country are known to be carrying  … infectious diseases that might endanger American children when these immigrants enter schools across our nation.[Emphasis Added. Ed.]

“According to the CDC, … the number of cases of tuberculosis and the number of deaths caused by TB steadily declined during the 100 years prior to the mid-1980s. Since the ’80s, immigrants have reversed this downward trend …. The number of active TB cases among American-born citizens declined from an estimated 17,725 in 1986 to 3,201 in 2015. That was an 80 percent drop. Data reported to the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System show that the TB incidence among foreign-born people in the United States (15.1 cases per 100,000) is approximately 13 times the incidence among U.S.-born people (1.2 cases per 100,000). Those statistics refer to immigrants who are legally in the U.S. There is no way for us to know the incidence of tuberculosis and other diseases carried by those who are in our country illegally and hence not subject to medical examination. …[Emphasis Added. Ed.]

“This public health issue is ignored by all those Americans championing sanctuary cities. The public health issue is also ignored by Americans clamoring for open borders … in the late 19th century and early 20th century, when masses of European immigrants were trying to enter our country, those with dangerous diseases were turned back from Ellis Island. Americans hadn’t “progressed” to the point of thinking that anyone in the world has a legal right to live in America. Neither did they think that it was cruel or racist to take measures to prevent our fellow Americans from catching diseases from foreigners.

“But aside from diseases, there is the greater threat of welcoming to our shores people who have utter contempt for Western values and want to import anti-Western values to our country, such as genital mutilation, honor killings and the oppression of women. …

“The bottom line is that we Americans have a right to decide who enters our country and under what conditions. If we forgo that right, we cease to be a sovereign nation. But that may not be important to some Americans.”

Those who are campaigning for insurance protection for pre-existing health conditions are also enthusiastic about more and more immigration.  

What do they think will happen to Healthcare when the border is over-run with successive caravans of people who may (and often do) carry infectious diseases?

COSTS 

And the costs for each thousand members of the caravan who succeed in entering and remaining in the USA would be about $20 Million per thousand per year.   That is about $200 Million for each cohort of 10,000.

DEMOGRAPHICS

As an example of how immigration affects Demographic Dynamics, the following are the figures for  Public school enrollment in California in 2016 which was over two thirds non-White with a Majority of those students coming from Immigrant backgrounds.

California	Percent
African American/Black	5.8%
American Indian/Alaska Native	0.6%
Asian/Asian American	8.9%
Filipino	2.5%
Hispanic/Latino	54.0%
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander	0.5%
White	24.1%
Multiracial	3.1%

BALANCE’s SOLUTION: The U.S.A. needs a zero–net (i.e., 150,000 per year arrivals and 150,000 per year leaving) Moratorium applying to all immigrant categories, a Wall at our Southern Border, mandating use of e-Verify in Hiring Decisions, elimination of anchor baby citizenship and an end to Catch & Release. 

Enactment of all these would reduce the 1.6 Million Annual flow of Legal Immigrants (400,000 annually into California alone – U.S. Census) and thus greatly reduce the Annual NET (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants pay) Costs of Legal Immigration, now running at $330 BILLION per year.

Implementing the Trump Administration’s Admirable Proposal that No Green Cards (reflecting permanent Resident Status) would be issued to those who had accepted, or were likely to accept in the future, any Taxpayer-funded Benefits, would reduce Immigrant Numbers significantly.

IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION IS BEING CONSIDERED NOW! And December 7 is the Deadline to pass a Budget and fund The Wall.

It is highly likely that a Bill fully funding The Wall will contain other Immigration Provisions! So, we must ACT NOW! Emphasize that a Zero-Net Moratorium would save Taxpayers $One-Half Trillion in the next Decade. So CONTACT & RECONTACT Your Representatives!

And please help BALANCE MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS and contact Media and Congress to intensity our push for the aforementioned all-categories included zero-NET MORATORIUM TODAY, NOW! Contact your representatives!

TO MAXIMIZE BALANCE's CLOUT PLEASE DONATE NOW!

Dollar for Dollar, Donations to BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more Political Clout for reduction in immigration numbers than Donations to Mass Immigration Management Groups, i.e., those who refuse to push for an all-categories-included Zero-Net Moratorium.

Indeed, such Refusal is counterproductive to genuine Immigration Reduction Efforts because the Main Management Groups advocate positions which ensure unending Mass Immigration.

BALANCE very much needs your Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY.
