Ebola Expert: Illegal Immigrant Children Could Spread Ebola, TB

According to an Ebola expert, the porous U.S.-Mexico border is creating issues that could lead to widespread contraction of Ebola, tuberculosis and a mystery respiratory disease.

Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, told Laura Ingraham’s radio show Wednesday that children who have crossed the border and are now in American schools, could spread the trio of viruses as the illegal children may not have been screened or quarantined thoroughly.

According to Orient, the current situation America faces is a “public health nightmare” and that almost all cases of tuberculosis in America are brought to the country via “foreign born individuals.”

I sincerely hope this physician has been misquoted. TB is caused by bacteria and is not viral. Tuberculosis has been carried by UDA immigrants crossing the southwestern border for many years so this is hardly earth-shaking news.
