In fact, the young adults, few of whom had received the types of vaccines U.S. children received, arrived with TB, swine flu and even Dengue, according to reports that eventually filtered out of border agents and hospitals on or near the U.S. border. The internal warning was: "We might as well plan on many of the kids having TB." It was included in June 2014 email guidance from environmental health scientist Alaric C. Denton as the agency prepared to handle the crisis, which was repeated in 2015 and is expected again this year. "Most of these kids are not immunized, so we need to make sure all our staff are immunized," said Denton, who is stationed at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, according to a new document obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch and released Thursday.

Many are young adults, and gang members. "The CDC official reveals in the documents obtained by JW as a result of the lawsuit that 'some of these kids are not really kids they are young adults, and we should be wary of personal safety,'" said a memo. Judicial Watch added, "Homeland Security sources directly involved with the mess told JW that holding centers were jam-packed, rampant with diseases and sexually active teenagers. A veteran Border Patrol officer who heads the agency's Tucson sector quickly established that many of the UACs were not little kids but rather 17- year-olds with possible ties to gang members in the U.S." Read their full report here. http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2016/04/cdc-official-warned-staff-of-health- safety-risks-during-influx-of-illegal-alien-minors-plan-on-many-of-the-kids-having- tb-be-wary-of-personal-safety/ Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
