A recent outbreak of measles is the latest public health problem among Somalis who live in metropolitan Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minnesota, home to the largest Somali community in the country.
Measles now joins active tuberculosis as a public health problem within Minnesota’s Somali community.
“During the five years between 2010 and 2014, 732 cases of active TB were diagnosed in Minnesota. Of these, 81 percent, or 593, were foreign-born. Of foreign-born cases, 50 percent, or 296, were refugees, according to “The Epidemiology of Tuberculosis in Minnesota, 2010-2014,” a report published by the Minnesota Department of Health,” Breitbart News noted in October.
“Twenty-nine percent of the 593 foreign-born cases of active TB diagnosed in Minnesota [between 2012 and 2015], or 161, were attributed to Somali born migrants. Almost all Somali migrants to the United States have arrived under the federal refugee resettlement program,” Breitbart News reported at the time.

Surely this cannot possibly surprise anyone.
Last I heard, folks legally wishing to emigrate through regular channels have to have certain Health steps in order……I guess all the rest of the World except Somalis, and the illegals from the South, are immune and therefore cannot transmit anything? Well I sure do doubt that and so I wonder why they were allowed in without some checking so as to protect the rest of us….you know, the folks who actually belong here.
Dumb OBAMA and his group of yes men.
