Speaking to Fox host Martha MacCallum on Monday, the VP of the Border Patrol Union said that one of the biggest problems surrounding the crisis at the border has to do with diseases crossing into the country. Already, Chris Cabrea says, many of our men protecting the border have contracted diseases such as bacterial pneumonia, scabies, and lice.
“Coming off the long journey,” Cabrea said, “[the illegals] have been subjected to diseases some agents are contracting. The border control is playing catch up.”
With illegal immigrant children crossing into the country with active scabies, it poses a threat not just to the agents working that swath of land but also to the rest of the country. If precautions aren’t taken, the union says, mite-borne scabies could spread into the surrounding communities.
