Are Illegals Bringing Tuberculosis to Your School?

Maybe.  Check out what happened in Lynn MA.  (Maybe, it’s just a coincidence?)  Wonder if it could happen here?  Well, maybe if Shaheen, Shea-Porter, and Kuster support Obama’s amnesty plan.  You should ask them where they stand on it, so what I point out below, doesn’t happen in New Hampshire. (All emphasis mine,throughout.)

July,  14 2014 from Fox:

The amount of new foreign born student admissions has nearly doubled in the last two years. This school year alone saw more than 600 new admissions. Among those students, 248 were from Guatemala. Flanagan Kennedy says of those 248 children, 126 were illegal, undocumented minors.

“They are not literate in any language, so they do need some skills. And I assume they are enrolling in school to receive those skills,” said Catherine Latham, Lynn’s superintendent of schools…

Apparently they do not have any documentation, of age, vaccinations, nada…but, alas…

“The law states Lynn schools cannot deny enrollment to anybody solely on the basis of not having paperwork. The law also says students have to be vaccinated.

And if any student doesn’t have insurance, the city of Lynn picks up the tab for administering the injections.

Public Health Director MaryAnn O’Connor said she estimates the department has seen a 200 percent increase in vaccinations over the last couple years. O’Connor has also had to hire two additional part-time staff members and had to start a tuberculosis clinic for a huge spike in cases over the last two years.”

So they got that going.  What a way to spend resources, opening a clinic for a disease that was pretty much under control for that last century.

Then a few days later, again from Fox July 16, 2014:

Officials in Lynn, Massachusetts, say the surge of illegal immigrant children and families is overwhelming the system, from trash collection to health care…

Now, just a few days ago from Boston.com:

LYNN, Mass. (AP) — More than 30 Lynn Community Health Center employees and 800 patients are being tested to determine if they were exposed to tuberculosis after center doctors confirmed a case.

Center Director Lori Berry says after confirming the single positive test for tuberculosis in a male health care worker around Labor Day, center medical workers contacted and tested employees as well as patients ‘‘having sufficient exposure to warrant testing.’’

Gee, wonder how that happened we’ve had mandatory tuberculosis vaccinations in this country for at least my lifetime.  Now, suddenly, it’s an issue in schools.  No need to wonder why that is, we know why.  Illegals are streaming across the borders and the insouciant politicians are not concerned.  It’s not their children exposed to the possible infections…not yet anyway.  But your kids may be, that’s not their problem. It’s yours.  Ask Shaheen, Shea Porter, and Kuster where they stand on this. Will they support Obama’s planned amnesty? If not, what will they do to stop him?  If they do, what will they do when tuberculosis shows up in a New Hampshire school?
