“‘Alex Mensing, a U.S.-based organizer with the group Pueblo Sin
Fronteras, which is providing humanitarian assistance to the migrants, said the
size of the caravan has swelled to 10,000 people.’ [USA Today 10/25/18]
“In fact, it is families and children who benefit the most from
those loopholes, as the White House has suggested. As a result, it notes:
“We have seen a record-shattering surge in the arrival of family
units, with more than 161,000 family unit apprehensions and inadmissibles in
fiscal year (FY) 2018.
“This historic surge was 42 percent higher than any previous year
on record.
“In the last three months, family unit apprehensions made up the
highest percentage of total apprehensions in history.
“Tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors continue to stream
across our borders.
“Unaccompanied minor apprehensions and inadmissibles totaled
58,660 in FY 2018, an increase of nearly 10,000, or approximately 20 percent,
compared to FY 2017."
A. Arthur, via CIS, 10/26/18
But the foregoing
just relates to family Units … the latest reports are that Fully 70% of
the Caravan are young males (Fox News 10/31/18).
DISEASE
“The Immigration and
Nationality Act mandates that all immigrants and refugees undergo a medical
screening examination to determine whether they have an inadmissible health
condition. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has technical
instructions for medical examination of prospective immigrants in their home
countries before they are permitted to enter the U.S. …
“But what about people
who enter our country illegally? The CDC specifically cites the possibility of
the cross-border movement of HIV, measles, pertussis, rubella, rabies,
hepatitis A, influenza, tuberculosis, shigellosis and syphilis. Chris Cabrera,
a Border Patrol agent in South Texas, warned: ‘What’s coming over into the U.S.
could harm everyone. We are starting to
see scabies, chickenpox, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections
and different viruses.’ Some of the youngsters illegally entering our
country are known to be carrying …
infectious diseases that might endanger American children when these immigrants
enter schools across our nation.[Emphasis Added. Ed.]
“According to the CDC, …
the number of cases of tuberculosis and the number of deaths caused by TB
steadily declined during the 100 years prior to the mid-1980s. Since the ’80s,
immigrants have reversed this downward trend …. The number of active TB cases
among American-born citizens declined from an estimated 17,725 in 1986 to 3,201
in 2015. That was an 80 percent drop. Data
reported to the National Tuberculosis
Surveillance System show that the TB incidence among foreign-born people in the
United States (15.1 cases per 100,000) is approximately 13 times the incidence
among U.S.-born people (1.2 cases per 100,000). Those statistics refer to
immigrants who are legally in the U.S. There is no way for us to know the
incidence of tuberculosis and other diseases carried by those who are in our
country illegally and hence not subject to medical examination. …[Emphasis
Added. Ed.]
“This public health issue
is ignored by all those Americans championing sanctuary cities. The public
health issue is also ignored by Americans clamoring for open borders … in the
late 19th century and early 20th century, when masses of European immigrants
were trying to enter our country, those with dangerous diseases were turned
back from Ellis Island. Americans hadn’t “progressed” to the point of thinking
that anyone in the world has a legal right to live in America. Neither did they
think that it was cruel or racist to take measures to prevent our fellow
Americans from catching diseases from foreigners.
“But
aside from diseases, there is the greater threat of welcoming to our shores
people who have utter contempt for Western values and want to import
anti-Western values to our country, such as genital mutilation, honor killings
and the oppression of women. …
“The
bottom line is that we Americans have a right to decide who enters our country and
under what conditions. If we forgo that right, we cease to be a sovereign
nation. But that may not
be important to some Americans.”

Those who are campaigning for insurance
protection for pre-existing health conditions are also enthusiastic about more and more
immigration.
What do they think will happen to Healthcare when the border is over-run
with successive caravans of people who may (and often do) carry infectious
diseases?

BALANCE’s SOLUTION: The U.S.A. needs a
zero–net (i.e., 150,000 per year
arrivals and 150,000 per year leaving) Moratorium
applying to all immigrant categories, a Wall at our Southern Border, mandating
use of e-Verify in Hiring Decisions, elimination of anchor baby citizenship and
an end to Catch & Release.
Enactment of all these would reduce the 1.6 Million Annual flow of Legal
Immigrants (400,000 annually into California alone – U.S. Census) and thus
greatly reduce the Annual NET (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants pay) Costs of
Legal Immigration, now running at $330 BILLION per year.
Implementing the Trump
Administration’s Admirable Proposal that No Green Cards (reflecting permanent
Resident Status) would be issued to those who had accepted, or were likely to
accept in the future, any Taxpayer-funded Benefits, would reduce Immigrant
Numbers significantly.
IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION IS BEING
CONSIDERED NOW! And December 7 is the Deadline to pass a Budget and fund The
Wall.
It is highly likely that a Bill fully funding
The Wall will contain other Immigration Provisions! So, we must ACT NOW! Emphasize that a Zero-Net Moratorium
would save Taxpayers $One-Half Trillion in the next Decade. So CONTACT &
RECONTACT Your Representatives!
And please help BALANCE MOBILIZE
ACTIVISTS and contact Media and Congress to intensity our push for the
aforementioned all-categories included zero-NET MORATORIUM TODAY,
NOW! Contact your representatives!
TO MAXIMIZE BALANCE's CLOUT PLEASE DONATE NOW!
Dollar for Dollar, Donations to
BALANCE and its ASAP! Coalition Allies who push a Moratorium, create much more
Political Clout for reduction in immigration numbers than Donations to Mass
Immigration Management Groups, i.e., those who refuse to push for an
all-categories-included Zero-Net Moratorium.
Indeed, such Refusal is counterproductive to genuine Immigration
Reduction Efforts because the Main Management Groups advocate positions
which ensure unending Mass Immigration.
BALANCE very much needs your
Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY.
