296 Refugees Diagnosed with Active TB in Minnesota; Majority Are Somalis

Two hundred and ninety-six refugees were diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) between 2010 and 2014 in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

Seventy-one were diagnosed within one year of their arrival, while 225 were diagnosed after the first year.

The number of active TB cases reported among refugees arriving in Minnesota is ten times higher than reported in any of the fourteen other states that have released refugee TB data to the public, or made it available to Breitbart News.

The previous high among the other reporting states was Wisconsin, which reported 27 cases of active TB among refugees arriving in the state between 2014 and 2015.

The other thirteen states, and the number of diagnosed cases of active TB among refugees are:

Nebraska (21), Louisiana (21), Michigan (19), Vermont (17), Colorado (16), Florida (11), Ohio (11 in one county), Idaho (7), Kentucky (9 in one county), North Dakota (4 in one county), Indiana (4), California (3), and Tennessee, where two refugees have been diagnosed with the very dangerous, multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB.

Illegals used to be screened for diseases before entering the USA..now we have the return of mumps, measles, TB, bedbugs scabies, super lice..not to mention a all the crime..time to close the boarders for six years and sort out the ones that are here..make them speak the language..make them apply for citizenship..make them take tests and polygraph if they are suspect and collect DNA if they are deported they can't change names and sneak back in..simple.
