Exclusive: Feds Struggling to Cope With Medical ‘Breakdown’ at the Border

by Jim Avila

The federal government is so overwhelmed by the current tide of migrants crossing the border it can’t provide basic medical screening to all of the children before transporting them – often by air – to longer-term holding facilities across the country, ABC News has learned.

I hope you read that properly: your federal government is placing medically-unscreened illegals aboard various forms of transportation — to include buses and aircraft — in order to move them around the country to other holding facilities.

Diseases and ailments that haven’t been seen in the US for years are being discovered carried by children and other illegal invaders at the border, such as TB, lice, scabies, Hepatitis, chicken pox, meningitis, influenza and H1N1, to name a few.

ABC revealed:

But, according to the memo ABC News reviewed, “Curi Kim [the HHS director of the Division of Refugee Health] has identified a breakdown of the medical screening processes at the Nogales, Arizona, facility.  The  [unaccompanied children] were initially screened and cleared upon entry into that facility with no fever or significant symptoms.  They were not however re-screened and cleared for travel and placement at a temporary shelter.”

So these are the people who are being transported in buses and aircraft that you could potentially be using in the future.

Look for a ramping-up of various diseases in your community, should you be lucky enough to receive this gift from the federal government.

Reid: Southern border is secure

by Alexander Bolton

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday asserted the southern border is secure despite the massive surge of illegal minors from Central America that has overwhelmed federal agencies.

“The border is secure,” he told reporters after the Senate Democrats’ weekly policy lunch. “[Sen.] Martin Heinrich [(D-N.M.)] talked to the caucus today. He’s a border state senator. He said he can say without any equivocation the border is secure.”

Plus:

He also dismissed a bipartisan proposal by Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (Texas) and Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) to expedite deportations as “too broad.”

“From all the reports I’ve gotten, the answer for me is no, I won’t support it,” he said.

Yes.  Expediting deportations is “too broad.”

And there you have it.  Harry Reid and the Demorats are clinically insane.
