It looks like the President is going to use Title 42 to speed up deportations. Actually it’s another tool to keep anyone from coming in.
Contagious diseases like TB along with a plethora of others like measles or parasites like scabies have been on the rise in the past couple of years, to no one’s surprise.
Under the proposed policy, immigration officials would gain sweeping new powers to turn away migrants at the border without the usual asylum screening process.
The plan would leverage the Public Health Service Act to allow fast deportations, bypassing standard immigration protocols that normally let migrants claim asylum even after crossing illegally.
This would mean officials would be able to rapidly deport migrants to Mexico, their home countries, or any third nation willing to take them.
Illegal immigration may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated, but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB. This disease rose by 20% globally from 1985 to 1991, and was declared a worldwide emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1995. Furthermore, TB frequently occurs in connection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Fortunately, more than 90% of Central Americans are vaccinated against TB, according to the WHO.
One thing that shows that there is a real problem is the number of articles from ‘Politifact’ that come up in a search ‘debunking’ the idea that unvetted illegals were bringing diseases into the US.
As an aside, I really never understood why legal immigrants had to take the covid death shot until a month or so ago when illegals were able to roam at will without it.
