In straightforward defiance against the White House position of non-transparency, previous communication from the Center for Disease Control discovered Tuesday acknowledged that 97 percent of the measles found in United States this year could be attributed to “importations from at least 18 countries.”

Soon, after school doors opened this semester, doctors and hospitals across the country began tackling massive flare-ups of infectious diseases and severe respiratory illness among children. Experts have called these outbreak unprecedented.
“It’s worse in terms of scope of critically ill children who require intensive care,” noted Children’s Mercy Hospital’s division director for Infectious Diseases, Dr. Mary Anne Jackson. I've practiced for 30 years in pediatrics, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”
While analyzing hundreds of documents, articles, and releases for this article, this examiner discovered on Tuesday that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) disclosed in a May 29, 2014 press release that “nearly all cases of measles this year have been associated with international travel by unvaccinated people.” As thousands of illegal immigrants from South and Central America crossed over the U.S.-Mexico border, the CDC recognized that this was “the largest number of measles cases in the United States in the first five months of a year since 1994.”
By the end of May, CDC also declared that 97 percent of the measles cases “were associated with importations from at least 18 countries. More than one in seven cases has led to hospitalization.”
From Jan. 1 to Oct. 11, 2014, the CDC announced that 599 confirmed cases of measles were reported with 18 outbreaks in 22 states. In 2013 and 2012 there were only 187 and 55 cases reported.
Measles, respiratory illness, tuberculosis and other communicable diseases continue as a prime concern for the millions of Americans conflicted about the perpetual arrivals of illegal immigrants pouring into the country. While some diseases have emerged from the Philippines, Africa, Asia and Europe, the unprecedented amount of undocumented aliens is a major issue.
Even Hollywood is taking notice as actress Tori Spelling was reportedly admitted and placed in quarantine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California Monday for respiratory concerns that some media say could be Enterovirus related.
Hospitals throughout America are reporting record breaking numbers as their emergency rooms are overwhelmed beyond capacity. Figures as of October 20, 2014 show the largest reported cases of these mystery illnesses included over 4,300 children at Children’s Hospital Colorado. In just one day 540 children visited the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and 340 cases were reported by a Mobile, Alabama children’s hospital. Many hospitals have ceased admitting children temporarily as they determine ways to deal with the outbreaks.
Medical labs testing confirm many of these cases are Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68). The Obama Administration has been working overtime to keep the reporting and narrative away from blaming the ongoing illegal and undocumented immigrant invasion into the country. Media reports show at least eight known deaths from EV-D68 in the U.S. in 2014.
Perhaps the White House doesn’t want Americans to know that out of over 70,000 illegal immigrant children who crossed into the U.S. almost 48,000 came from Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador. In these countries measles and the EV-D68 virus are quite common. If we include these children’s family and friends, not listed an “unaccompanied,” over a quarter of a million people from Central and South America have entered the U.S. illegally this year.
From 1970 to 2005 there were only 26 cases of EV-D68 ever reported in America. The number in 2014 is approaching 1,000 cases, with about 10 percent of those cases known to be causing a polio-type virus that has left children crippled.
Information from doctors, nurses, law enforcement and staff workers at immigration housing and transition facilities exposed enormous fears about the infectious diseases aliens were carrying as they process and care for them. Thousands of these illegal children have been placed into public schools, seen in hospitals, and are receiving medical care, without meeting normal immunization requirements that American children are expected to have.
In San Antonio, Texas, news regarding chicken pox, tuberculosis and respiratory diseases flourished at the Lackland Air Force facility. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center facility in Artesia, New Mexico was forced into “lock down” mode because disease was so prevalent this summer. Providence Memorial Hospital located in El Paso, Texas, a major port of entry for illegal aliens, recently revealed that more than 700 infants had been exposed to tuberculosis, the most dangerous infectious disease in the world.
The CDC reports that the current case count for Whooping Cough, or Pertussis, is 1874. There have been two deaths reported and the percentage of cases hospitalized is 10.9 percent. From January 1 to the week ending Oct. 4, 2014, mumps, conceivably carried in from children of Central America regions, has spiraled to 1,024 cases across America. Last year at this time it was 525 according to the CDC’s Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report.
While information from government agencies is sporadic and patchy, an analysis of data and reports confirms and supports the link between the illegal immigrant invasion and infectious disease outbreaks in the U.S. this year. The CDC admitted it “does not know how many infections and deaths from EV-D68 occur each year in the United States” because it is considered an un-reportable disease.
During the week of October 5-11, 2014, the CDC reports that 282 specimens tested positive for influenza activity in the U.S.
State-by-state highlights of the link between the infectious diseases and the known immigrant activity are given:
Alabama. The Department of Public Health says they continue “investigating clusters of respiratory illnesses in children.” About 50 children have been evaluated as part of the investigation with five results testing back positive for EV-D68 so far. The department indicates they are “not counting potential cases on an individual basis so it is unknown how many people in Alabama have been infected with D68.”
Two major clusters of respiratory illness in children are occurring in Mobile and in north Alabama. Over 200 undocumented children were sent to Jefferson and Marshall Counties.
Arizona has reported over 11,800 cases of infectious diseases in 2014, compared to a five year median average of 8,667. By this time last year, Arizona had only once case of Mumps. As of September 1, 2014 there have been nine cases reported.
Maricopa County, which received at least 205 of the immigrant children this summer, the most of any county in the state, also reports record breaking cases of infectious disease. This includes 840 cases of hepatitis, 578 cases of invasive MRSA, over 400 cases of various Strep, 217 reports of Pertussis, 183 cases of viral aseptic meningitis, and at least one infant death from influenza. While not transferred from person to person, the state has been burdened with another disease. There were 3,298 cases of Coccidioidomycosis reported in the county, almost 4,800 have been found statewide.
Arkansas. The Department of Health reported they received confirmation through laboratory testing from CDC that EV-D68 is in the state. Pulaski County received about 70 illegal immigrants out of the almost 300 transported to Arkansas.
“While the Ebola virus carries a very low risk to the general public, the timing of its arrival coincides with seasonal rise of another, far better known and dangerous virus,” said Governor Mike Beebe this week. “Flu season is beginning in Arkansas and across the U.S. and the flu causes thousands of American deaths every year.”
Both senators from Arkansas, Democrat Mark Pryor and Republican John Boozman, called on President Barack Obama to ban Ebola stricken countries in West Africa from traveling to the U.S. All four members of the State’s U.S. House delegation also called for a ban.
California. Health officials revealed that at least 14 patients have tested for EV-D68 on October 3, 2014. Over 40 illegal immigrants were quarantined in July because of an outbreak of scabies and lice.
The number of cases of EV-D68 (first number) are broken down in by the known number of illegal immigrants (second number) sent to these counties: San Diego 8/98, Alameda 6/281, Solano 2/unknown, Long Beach 3/unknown, Los Angeles 6/2,313, Santa Clara 5/160, Orange 3/235, Riverside 2/147, San Francisco 4/208, Santa Cruz 1/unknown, Ventura 1/52, Contra Costa 1/117, Berkley 1/unknown.
One of the children has suffered paralysis, although an October 1 report from neurologists say that up to 25 children in California may have suffered from polio-like illness that has caused some degree of paralysis. The first case of EV-D68 was reported on September 18, 2014.
Colorado is one of the hardest hit locations in the world for the EV-D68 virus. At least 10 children have been struck with paralysis in the Denver area. Arapahoe and Denver Counties received at least 67 and 64 undocumented immigrant children respectively.

Many doctors across the nation see the recent announcement of beefing up airport security to prevent disease from entering the country as a joke.
Dr. Mark Gendreau, vice chairman of emergency medicine at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., calls the new protocols at major airports “more political and trying to calm the crowd than being effective.”
The hunting for temperatures at the airports are “a very expensive means of trying to look for a needle in the haystack,” Dr. Gendreau states.
Dr. Jane Orient, Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, is especially concerned about illegal immigrants from Central American children bringing these viruses into the U.S. Dr. Orient says a key measure to combat spread of these diseases is to devote more resources to border security.
She admits that the upsurge in illegal immigrant children being dispersed around to locations across the U.S. could very well be much of the causes of these viruses. “We don’t know for sure the government is being real tight-lipped about this, and it only takes one infected child to infect the whole classroom,” Dr. Orient said.
It is becoming especially difficult for the Obama Administration to designate truths are merely rumors when startling statistics go against their political agendas. Each Wednesday, the Center for Disease Control releases some updates, but the data is according to their authority to determine the appropriate information to release.
The fact that the highest rates of TB in America are along the Mexican Border States is hard to push as just coincidence, blame past administrations or opposing political parties.
