Docs Warn Migrants Bring Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Measles, & Syphilis Over Border. Diseases including syphilis and tuberculosis carried across the border by illegal immigrants threaten New York City and the wider United States, doctors warn, including deadly drug-resistant strains. “When they are bussed to New York and elsewhere, these diseases go with them,” writes Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at New York University. One physician working at the Texas border told Dr. Siegel that migrants were increasing the prevalence of tuberculosis resistant to antibiotics – a.k.a. “Super TB” – while other medics warned of migrants potentially causing a measles epidemic. “Border Patrol and local agencies have seen all types of diseases like tuberculosis, scabies, COVID, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, chicken pox, dengue fever, etc.,” confirmed Arizona county sheriff Mark Lamb. “When the discussion was hot and heavy about Title 42… going away, I would consistently say it wasn’t just about COVID; it was about all the other health hazards being brought across our borders,” he said of Donald Trump-era border controls based on public health concerns, which have lapsed under Joe Biden. In 2015 and since, Donald Trump has warned that migrants are bringing diseases into the U.S. “The largest suppliers of heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs are Mexican cartels that arrange to have Mexican immigrants trying to cross the borders and smuggle in the drugs. The border patrol knows this. Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in fact, for many other parts of the world,” said Trump.
