Biden-Harris open borders leads to more tuberculosis

 American Briefing:

The migration crisis under the Biden-Harris administration fueled a sharp rise in tuberculosis cases in the United States, a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found.

Rates of tuberculosis (TB) in the U.S. have steadily increased since 2021, coinciding with record levels of illegal immigration due to lax border enforcement rules, according to a study published Wednesday by FAIR, a Washington, D.C.,-based organization that advocates for lower levels of immigration. The study found that the TB infection rate rose by 34% between 2020 and 2023, and 76% of TB cases in 2023 occurred in foreign-born patients.

“As migrants move into communities all across the United States, unsuspecting Americans are exposed to a potentially deadly disease,” FAIR president Dan Stein stated. “Of acute concern to many Americans is the risk posed to their children who may find themselves in classrooms with recently arrived migrants who are infected with TB.”

“TB is not only a highly communicable disease, it is also one that poses long-term health consequences to those who contract it,” Stein continued. “The cost of treating each case of TB is not trivial, sometimes exceeding $500,000 if the case is extensively drug-resistant.”

Among the study’s other key findings: states and metropolitan areas with high migrant populations boast higher TB rates than those with smaller migrant populations, some categories of migrants do not even undergo health screenings and some border counties have TB rates that exceed those of high-risk countries, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Biden-Harris open borders policy has allowed millions of illegal and unvetted migrants into the United States.  One of the many reasons for securing the border is to stop such influxes that are a danger to citizens.  This problem is in addition to thousands of convicted murders who came into the US under the Biden-Harris open borders policy.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
