22 Percent of Resettled Refugees in Minnesota Test Positive for Tuberculosis

One of every five refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government tested positive for latent tuberculosis in 2014, according to the state’s Department of Health.
Only 4 percent of the general population in the United States tested positive for latent tuberculosis in the most recent report provided by the Centers for Disease Control.
The April 2016 edition of the Refugee Health Quarterly, published by the Minnesota Department of Health reports that:


Minnesota had 150 cases of TB in 2015, compared to 147 cases in 2014 (a 2 percent increase). The most common risk factor for TB cases in Minnesota is being from a country where TB is common.

TB screening is offered to all refugees during the domestic refugee health exam.

In 2014, 22 percent of refugees screened tested positive for LTBI (latent tuberculosis infection).

26 percent of all foreign born cases of tuberculosis in Minnesota were from people born in Somalia. Somalians almost exclusively enter the state through the refugee resettlement program.

More than 70,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States annually for the past three decades by the federal government. It’s not just tuberculosis being brought in by these resettled refugees. Measles, whooping cough, diptheria, and other diseases that were on their way to eradication are also coming in across the borders of the United States.

“Eliminating TB in the U.S. will require increased attention to the diagnosis and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI),” the April 2016 Refugee Health Quarterly reports.
“Minnesota’s LTBI treatment completion rate for refugees who start treatment is one of the highest in the nation at 86 percent in 2013,” the report adds.

An alternative public health policy–one that the United States used for decades in the latter part of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century–is to test immigrants and refugees for infectious disease before they are allowed into the country.

In that earlier era, those who tested positive were sent home. Today, however, many are welcomed in and pose a risk of infecting the rest of the American population.

This is indicative of how "rigorous" the screening process is for admitting people claiming refugee status. Yet the Regressives want us to believe that it works so well.

Milo, IMO we should automatically assume that any policy from the Left in this country works to the destruction of the Republic - as we have known it. after all, Obama did not mince words, he stated again and again that he was working towards a fundamental transformation of this country. many assumed that he just wanted to change health care delivery, but really he means much more than that. Obama and his followers want to fundamentally transform the US into a 3rd world multilingual, multicultural nation. look to Brazil - that is the future that Obama envisions for the US.

many did...but Obama's greatest trick was making so many people believe he was whatever they wanted him to be.."Hope and Change" was vague enough for people to put their own dreams into it. Some thought he meant he would make the country 'post racial' or turn Washington around to congeniality and cooperation, he'd stop the corruption (remember how he promised to not let lobbyists set agenda?)...it was all a big snake oil show.

and this all is why there are many of us that distrust the same rhetoric coming from our side from Trump. Words are cheap....and we have learned from hard experience to watch carefully for misleading information.
