Biden's Open Borders Are Spreading New Plagues in the US

Get your boosters for covid, everyone! Biden's letting in illegals who are completely unscreened for leprosy, polio, malaria, and tuberculosis!

James Varney:

Successful public health campaigns and medical advances have enabled the United States to conquer a range of disfiguring and damaging diseases. Polio, which paralyzed thousands of Americans annually, was wiped out by widespread vaccinations. In 1999 the nation's last hospital for lepers closed its doors in Louisiana. A global campaign eradicated smallpox, while lethal tuberculosis, the "consumption" that stalked characters in decades of literature, seemed beaten by antibiotics. Measles outbreaks still occur from time to time, but they are small, local, and easily contained.

Recently, however, some of these forgotten but still formidable infectious diseases have begun to reappear in the U.S. For two years running, polio has been detected in some New York water samples, and this fall, leprosy re-emerged in Florida, where cases of malaria have also been recorded.

Health officials say they are not sure why these and other infectious diseases are resurfacing. One distinct possibility, which officials are loath to discuss, is that the millions of migrants who have crossed into the country in recent years could be bringing the scourges with them, since many are from countries where such rare diseases persist and vaccination programs are not robust.

I'm going to go ahead and call it: That is the correct explanation.

"The recent polio and leprosy cases are almost certainly imports to the U.S.," said Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a physician and scientist at Stanford University, one of the most outspoken critics of official COVID-19 narratives in the last pandemic that later proved flawed.

And the Biden administration, an aggressive promoter of often mandatory vaccination last time, now is offering little public comment on the connection between disease and the porous borders with which its immigration policy has become widely identified.

Neither the Centers for Disease Control nor the Department of Homeland Security would discuss the issue with RealClearInvestigations. Legal immigrants are required to receive vaccinations for a host of diseases, but the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged it does not have vaccination records for the millions who have entered the U.S. since the Biden administration relaxed border controls upon taking office in January 2021.

Read the whole thing.

They're not screening the nameless hordes swarming our borders for lethal diseases.

And they're also not bothering too hard to scan their DNA for connections to prior violent crimes, either.

The feds are supposed to run illegal immigrants' DNA through the CODIS system, a library of DNA found at the scenes of crimes.

The FBI has a 15 month backlog on DNA testing for migrants and is running out of money to sustain the program, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) email chain reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) uses tests from the FBI, which then analyzes and stores them for federal border authorities, to test migrants 14 years old and older, according to the emails. FBI Director Christopher Wray previously raised concerns about the FBI's ability to handle the "dramatic increase" in DNA samples given the A close-up of a signDescription automatically generatedmigration surges in April, according to Voice of America.

"They [FBI] don't have enough money to run the program which is a statutory requirement. They are still delivering kits and used to turn them around in 2 months, now they are looking at a 15 month backlog," one CBP official said in the internal chain regarding its response to a Washington Post reporter working on a story regarding the DNA testing.

The FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is used by federal, state and local labs to connect offenders to crimes, according to the bureau.
