High Numbers of People in Migrant Caravan Have Serious Illnesses

The problems being created by the Honduran migrant caravan have already gotten quite out of hand. For example, a large number of people who are part of the group are known criminals.

Now, it’s being reported that a large number of migrants, perhaps as high as one-third of the people in the group, are carrying various nasty illnesses. Some have tuberculosis while others have chicken pox or respiratory infections. Some even have HIV. Some of the people who are struggling with health problems are being treated for those.

“There are three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox,” a Tijuana Health Department spokesperson told Fox News. “At least 101 migrants have lice and multiple instances of skin infections. There’s also a threat of Hepatitis outbreak due to unsanitary conditions.”

Many migrants, likely several thousand, are at the Benito Juarez Sports Complex, which is not far from the San Ysidro U.S.-Mexico Port of Entry. However, the place is extremely overcrowded, as it actually only has enough space for 1,000 people. That includes only 35 portable bathroom facilities.

How the migrants’ health problems are going to addressed is uncertain. Earlier this week, Juan Manuel Gastelum, Tijuana’s mayor, said his city is unable to come up with the resources to help the migrants who were already there.

“We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana. We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem,” he said.

Gastelum also said that his city is spending a large amount, $30,000 per day, on expenses related to the migrants being in his city.

The risks of thousands of people pouring into the United States with all the illnesses mentioned are pretty obvious. Now, we have a potential health crisis looming on the horizon in addition to a sharp uptick in criminal activity. This is beyond unacceptable.

A total of at least 6,000 migrants have reached Tijuana, which is not far south of the U.S. border around the area of San Diego, California. Apparently, even more migrants are on the way — presumably carrying similar diseases or potential illnesses.

Of course, President Donald Trump has been very vocal about the issue of immigration ever since he campaigned for office.

“You’re going to find MS-13, you’re going to find Middle Eastern, you’re going to find everything,” he said.

Everyone should keep a close eye on this potentially dangerous situation until it is resolved.

  1. We have enough of our own people with diseases that we dont do anything about. We only have so much resources for our own people.

  2. Yes -Brett Kavanaugh is qualified and urgently needs to be confirmed!
    If the Democratic liberals continue their attempt to bring in illegal immigrants and resist our laws and government leaders, and American safety, then get out their checkbooks and fund it-or get out off our American land!!. We taxpayers have had enough of their personal greed and lies!!

  3. not one dime to Mexico to care for the people in the caravans. They could have stopped them on their southern border but, instead, helped them on their way. Mexico evidently forgot we have a real American for president now and he puts Americans first. Mexico could line them up and bus them back to country of origin. We are not going to take them and, if Mexico doesn’t want them, they should go back. Period.

  4. The illegal immigrants should be given paperwork to apply for California worker permits! There are a lot of dead brush to be picked up in order to prevent wildfires and of course there is the feces, needles, and litter problem in San Francisco and Los Angeles that needs clean up and removal! Since most of these needy illegal immigrants are looking for work, they should be happy to be paid $15/hr!

    • no need to allow new illegals –already have 12 to 15 million here now –put them to work doing that stuff-

    • Yeah let’s put them to work in the fields and everywhere else, with all their illnesses, so we can have more contaminated food in the US and expose not only elderly, but babies and children to some of those serious illnesses the invaders of the caravan have. That makes sense doesn’t it? Send them home where they belong!

  5. Mr Dosado, good IDEA, but will you take care of those that make it?, please let our heath dept know soon as your willing to accept responsibility for those that apply!. Thank you for volunteering your services, GOD BLESS,

  6. I have heard a lot of opinions from people all over California – from all over the country. I have seen the people in Tijuana get fed up with these ingrates in the caravan causing nothing but trouble. What do the people in San Diego think? It would seem they are on the front lines of what could happen next.

  7. During the years Ellis Island was open for quarantining immigrants– Any illness meant they were shipped back to their home country even pink eye and common colds were enough to be deported.. It is bad enough we take care of them when they come here illegally but to bring in the sick to infect our own population sounds like something the dems might like to see happen.. The USA be damned–the dems want their illegal voters in order to retain power.

    • The United Nations has been funding/supporting this invasion from the beginning. The crooks within the UN are behind this attack on American sovereignty.

  8. The MSM reports about the caravan do not include any mention that they actually are disease carrying (the usual claims of “no verified reports”). When Obama policy let in thousand of illegals, the MSM reported on the crowded conditions in the detention centers, but carefully avoided mentioning all the disease carrying kids and medical safety precautions required for the staff members. They also did not cover the resulting outbreaks as the kids were mainstreamed into US schools.

  9. This issue IS resolved! They must present themselves at a Port of Entry and ask! They need to have skills and a good reason to come into the U.S. No criminals, no drug dealers and NO MASS health problems that WE have to treat!

  10. these, are not americans nor do they have the desire to become american. they, are a dangerous hostile entity not representative of the united states. and threaten all of us, with more pestilence, plague, and famine.

    the economic plague alone, is sufficient reason to reject their entry. without mentioning the all, the other pestilence, and plague. the countries they, are coming from have a totally different social environment of legalized corruption.

    and to allow this to happen, only encourages more to come that have no intent of obeying our laws.

  11. Mr. Dosado the money that would be spent on medical expenses, schooling for illegals children, welfare, housing and all the other freebee’s our stupid government provides could be used to help our homeless instead. And why not pay the homeless $15.00 an hour to clean up their own mess and clear dead brush. Let’s help our own people improve their lives instead of illegals who marched to our border carrying their countries flags. They do not want to become American’s they just want to earn money and that will take jobs from our own people. Like Trump said”America First”

  12. The only reason they are coming here is because they want all the free things they can get. They are no different than the beggars on the street corners of many of our shopping centers, it’s just give me, give me, give me. I’m sorry folks, I’m through giving except to my church and people I personally know that really, and I mean really, need help. Send them back where they came from, let those countries help them. This is getting ridiculous.

  13. Just start to shoot and kill all illegals who cross our border. They will be happy to go back to where they came from. Stop them now, they cannot break our laws and endanger Americans health and welfare. Stop playing with them get rid of them. The only stupid fucking assholes that want them here are the democrats so they get votes from them.

  14. Believe me, if by any chance these people in the Caravan are accepted into our country, (the Socialists Leftists Democrats do not want to build the Wall)
    there will be millions in other Caravans coming in !!!! Yes, millions !! and we will definitely lose our country !!!!

  15. all america will get from these invaders is DISEASE AND VIOLENCE AND THE DUMBACRATS WANT THIS IN OUR COUNTRY IT,S PAST TIME TO FIGHT BACK AMERICA OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE IT,S TOO LATE.

  16. The people who say we need them to pick our grapes and avocados etc are lying to you, This sort of Labor does not provide a living. So they get Welfare ,food stamps. and Hospitalization etc. This works out to an average of $70,000 a year for them. How many of you Americans earn $70,000 a year? People don’t care or they wouldn’t have elected a Majority of Democrats to take over the House of Representatives as the Democrats don’t want to build the wall and want open Borders. . Hope you enjoy the Migrants making $70,000 a year and bringing in all sorts of Health problems

  17. Where are the ‘leftist’ international organizations now ???
    Shouldn’t they be concerned about these potential invaders’ health ???
    Shouldn’t they be giving the Mexican Government money to house these potential invaders ???

    …or are they now simply ‘garbage’ now that they’ve financed their invaders march to our border.
    (No use anymore ?)

  18. Since our side didn’t vote in enough numbers in the midterms to overcome the fraud on the left, we deserve the illegals. Wait until the MSM flips both the Presidency and the Senate to the (d)s in 2020, and then the border will be wide open. Bye-bye USA!

  19. Do not allow any people in the caravan into America. We have more of our own Veterans and needy US Citizens who need to be helped before any illegal invasion of our country. USA first. Let the rest of the world take care of their own problems. It is impossible for the USA to help the entire world. And we should just close our borders to intruders. We have take a strong stand against invaders, I suggest shooting and killing them to set an example of how these law breakers will be dealt with. They will get the message and go back to anywhere but America. Problem solved. Bullets are the cheapest way out of wasting our tax dollars on illegals. We will save billions of tax dollars to be used for our own citizens. God bless America.

  20. all here for their 70,000 per year, take it out of just one dem pocket. this whole illegal thing come to end in a hurry. build the wall mr president……… i’d love to sit in a room with those two today like you did, we’d see who came out. that worm schumer or mrs wiggins should be housing these crooks.
