A facility in Artesia, New Mexico, meant to house illegal aliens’ families, offers a glimpse in microcosm of what the United States is allowing to pass through its indefensibly undefended southern border. Per the Washington Times:
Communicable diseases continue to be a problem at the New Mexico facility built to house illegal immigrant families surging across the U.S.-Mexico border, and the immigrants themselves aren’t taking their own health care very seriously, according to an audit. “Family unit illnesses and unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities continued to result in unsanitary conditions,” Inspector General John Roth wrote in a memo to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Mr. Roth said the illnesses—which put the facility in Artesia, New Mexico, on lockdown earlier this year, preventing any immigrants from being transferred in or out—have proved to be a continuing problem. Part of the issue is the immigrants themselves, some of whom have never seen a doctor before, don’t follow up afterward, either for themselves or their children.[2]
Unfamiliarity with bathroom facilities? This is what we’re allowing to occur on our own soil—adults who are not potty trained. This is absolutely disgusting, and it facilitates the spread of diseases like E. coli and Hepatitis A. Incidentally, California is at present wrestling with a huge Hepatitis A outbreak originating in San Diego County, most likely attributable to a) the burgeoning homeless population the state ignores, and b) unchecked illegals inter-mingling—and for both, a lack of access to and/or unwillingness to use public toilet facilities. The outbreak has spread as far afield as Sacramento, and at least six hundred people have been infected. Hepatitis A is most commonly spread by feces-to-mouth contact, often through contaminated food. According to Dr. Monique Foster of the CDC: “It’s not unusual for [outbreaks] to last quite some time—usually over a year.” As Santa Cruz public health manager Jessica Randolph states: “I don’t think the worst is over.”
