A Mexican national infected with a highly contagious form of tuberculosis crossed the U.S. border 76 times and took multiple domestic flights in the last year, according to Customs and Border Protection interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Times.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency was warned by health officials on April 16 that the frequent traveler was infected, but it took the Homeland Security officials more than six weeks to issue a May 31 alert to warn its own border inspectors, according to Homeland Security sources who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. Homeland Security took one more week to tell its own Transportation Security Agency.
When will our elected officials WAKE UP and take a strong stand AGAINST illegal immigration. We NEED to secure our borders with a fence/barrier!! We , the American people, have to DEMAND, in the interest of NATIONAL SECURITY and NATIONAL HEALTH that this be done as well as expedite deportations of illegals. We need to DEMAND an end to SANCTUARY policies that bind the hands of law enforcement officers at the state and local levels so they can not only report illegals to I.C.E., but to be able to detain illegals for deportation by ICE.
By the way, has anyone seen the recent articles that alert us to DRUG RESISTANT staph infections? WHY are they on the rise? The answer may very well be ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!
