Our next health crisis is coming across the border. There’s still time to stop it

No one is talking about our next health crisis. It's already here, marching across our border. Millions of unvaccinated immigrants, some with mumps or even TB. Here's how to fight it.

In the New York City area and Chicago, two locations that have received heavy amounts of illegal aliens housed in migrant centers, spikes have been reported for diseases other than TB including chicken pox, measles, mumps and whooping cough.   Tom Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation.

Both the illegal entry and the lack of vaccinations must have the tacit consent of the current administration, and both are fundamental mistakes. The completely predictable result is that not only are migrant centers themselves hotbeds for outbreaks of preventable infectious diseases, but doctors’ offices, clinics, emergency rooms and hospitals across the United States are being overwhelmed by illegal aliens who are ill with diseases the U.S. had previously eradicated within its borders.
