Seven Refugees With Active TB Sent to Idaho

[LibertyEagle]

28 Jun 2016


Seven refugees with active tuberculosis (TB) were diagnosed shortly after their resettlement in Idaho between 2011 and 2015, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

This makes Idaho the seventh state to confirm to Breitbart News that recently arrived refugees have been diagnosed with active TB.

The other states in which recently arrived refugees have been diagnosed with active TB include: Louisiana (twenty-one), Florida (eleven), Colorado, (ten), Indiana (four), Kentucky (where nine were diagnosed in one county), and North Dakota (where four refugees who resided in the United States for less than five years were diagnosed in one county).

OMG! They are all disease ridden! (some 5,000 refugees have been settled in Idaho).

"Latent tuberculosis" does not mean you actually have the disease but were exposed to it. If you have latent TB you cannot infect anybody.

[TheCount]

Well if it was between 2011 and 2015 then the epidemic has already spread. I presume all of Idaho has TB.

Latent TB can indeed become active and communicable. Besides the article clearly states these cases involve active TB.

Come on Zippy, she just said active TB and you replied addressing latent TB which wasn't the focus of the article. I think these type of incident is what the govt tries to prevent with their very rigorous testing of refugee applicants. The fact that 7 cases may have slipped by them is not good news.

[pcosmar]

So,,
One would wonder why they were not given even a common checkup on arrival.

before they settled anywhere.

"Refugees" would suggest they had some government channel to come through.

It could have developed to active TB from latent TB or testing is not 100% effective. But believe me, refugees get the full work up before being allowed to travel.

Or someone deliberately passed them through. but that can easily be explained as incompetence.. rather than some xenophobic Government employee on a personal Jihad.

[Natural Citizen]

It figgers it'd be something like that. :cool:

Next thing you know we'll have universal healthcare tied at the hip with border rules and national ID.

[TheCount]

So,,

Do you mean prior to arrival? Obviously they were checked after, or else there wouldn't have been paperwork that said that they had it, and this article wouldn't even exist.

I mean..

Prior to settlement,, Preferable before transport to these shores..

Someone arranged that passage. Someone provided transport from Immigration to settlement..

the only question was, was it deliberate?

[presence]

I have no issue with immigrants but fuck uncle's refugees

get a job and earn a home, or gtfo

They are. That is how the cases were identified. From the link in the OP:


90 percent of the 4,650 refugees resettled in Idaho between 2011 and 2015, or 4202, were medically screened within the first three months of their arrival, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

[pcosmar]

They are. That is how the cases were identified. From the link in the OP:

refugees resettled in Idaho

Who resettled these refugees? From where? and why were infected individuals resettled with the rest???

a TB test is done and known in 3 days,, regardless of any infection,, just exposure.
Blood tests are even more sure and faster.. definitive even.

Has been so for quite some time and there is no logical excuse for this..

which leaves deliberate action

"Latent tuberculosis" does not mean you actually have the disease but were exposed to it. If you have latent TB you cannot infect anybody. and all refugees qualify for welfare and housing and more of my tax dollars stolen from my paycheck. Thanks Fuckers.

[puppetmaster]

There was a time when immigrants had to prove they could take care of themselves....not any longer. They want these free loaders and as many as they can import. Time to rehome these people.

So how many sick people is enough for you?

How many victims or rape is enough for you?

How many victims of Terrorism is enough for you?

How many billions wasted on people who will be forever on the dole is enough for you?

[RestorationOfLiberty]

Send them back, end this moronic program and sue the people that they hired to resettle.

[TheCount]

Bump.

More likely to get killed, raped, sick, be a victim of violence from a citizen than any immigrant. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for any federal benefits either. Legal immigrants must wait at least five years.

I want numbers, how many is enough?

Notice how you can not answer it, I wonder why.

We have proven that you lie Juan, your lies are proven to be just that and they will not save your blank slate view of humanity.

[Zippyjuan]

What numbers do you have? If my claim is wrong, disprove it.

The Mythical Connection Between Immigrants and Crime
Newcomers to the U.S. are less likely than the native population to commit violent crimes or be incarcerated.




They might start by pointing out that numerous studies going back more than a century have shown that immigrants—regardless of nationality or legal status—are less likely than the native population to commit violent crimes or to be incarcerated. A new report from the Immigration Policy Center notes that while the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. more than tripled between 1990 and 2013 to more than 11.2 million, “FBI data indicate that the violent crime rate declined 48%—which included falling rates of aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder. Likewise, the property crime rate fell 41%, including declining rates of motor vehicle theft, larceny/robbery, and burglary.”

A separate IPC paper from 2007 explains that this is not a function of well-behaved high-skilled immigrants from India and China offsetting misdeeds of Latin American newcomers. The data show that “for every ethnic group without exception, incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants,” according to the report. “This holds true especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population.”


It also holds true in states with large populations of illegal residents. A 2008 report by the Public Policy Institute of California found that immigrants are underrepresented in the prison system. “The incarceration rate for foreign-born adults is 297 per 100,000 in the population, compared [with] 813 per 100,000 for U.S.-born adults,” the study concludes. “The foreign-born, who make up roughly 35% of California’s adult population, constitute 17% of the state prison population.”

High-profile incidents, like the recent arrest of a Mexican national in the horrific shooting death of a young woman in San Francisco, can give the impression that immigrants are more likely to commit violent crimes. But the alleged killer is no more representative of Mexican immigrants than Dylann Roof is representative of white people.

But hey you are invested in your lies, and beyond the reach of reality so we will have to restore the nation without you and those like you, enjoy what happens next, your brought this on yourselves.

So you can't disprove my posts. Thanks for trying.

You are right but if immigrants are criminals, more immigrants should mean more crime, right?

Would you agree that the number of immigrants in the country is higher than it was 30 or so years ago? What has happened with the crime rate? If you are right, it should be higher with more "criminal immigrants" in the country.

The decline in crime rates was not just national, but also occurred in border cities and other cities with large immigrant populations such as San Diego, El Paso, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami.

According to a 2008 report from the conservative Americas Majority Foundation, crime rates are lowest in states with the highest immigration growth rates.

From 1999 to 2006, the total crime rate declined 13.6 percent in the 19 highest-immigration states, compared to a 7.1 percent decline in the other 32 states.

In 2006, the 10 “high influx” states—those with the most dramatic, recent increases in immigration—had the lowest rates of violent crime and total crime.

[JustinTime]

I am convinced the powers that be just want as many newcomers as possible (refugees, illegal or legal immigrants, whatever), the greater the number the less likely we will be able to assimilate them. Things Americans traditionally valued, like constitutionally limited government, rule of law, individual freedom, the unassimilated newcomers will be less likely to get it.

Its a necessary step for the elites to destroy those values.

The drop is due to abortion, long sentences, and CCW laws, not immigration. If it was do to immigration why is it that the increase in the number of illegals in prison has increased so rapidly?

Its because you are lying.

[JK/SEA]

is LE wanting to set up a go fund me for these people?....

seriously?

seriously?

So you can not go after the data/sources, now you have to go after the person...You guys are becoming more and more like leftists every day.

[Zippyjuan]

I can't find it right now but why are illegal immigrants in jail? What sort of crimes are they committing? Rape, robbery, theft, murder? Actually something like two thirds of them are in jail for not having a piece of paper. They are there not because of any real crime but for not being in the country legally. But even including that, the are less likely to be in jail than legal residents or citizens.
