Earlier this week, The Gateway Pundit reported that members of the El Paso police force warned Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales that there had been multiple incidents of illness among the illegal aliens who have set up camp in downtown El Paso.
“A couple of days ago I rode along with the Socorro Police Chief. Imagine having to protect and serve a city of 40,000 all while a border crisis is busting at the seams in El Paso, only 15 mins away,” the Republican rep. tweeted.
Gonzales posted a video to Twitter showing himself in downtown El Paso.
Tony, don’t be here unless you have to,” the officers reportedly told the representative.
“There have been cases of scabies, measles, covid, and bed bugs. Take care of your health,” officers added.
According to City of El Paso’s Department of Public Health (DPH), outbreaks of infectious diseases are most likely to occur in crowded, close quarters like shelters.
“Congregate settings such as shelters pose a high risk for the spread of infectious diseases leading to outbreaks. The Department of Public Health (DPH) has been working closely with shelters providing support to migrants and is conducting active surveillance for early detection of any notifiable condition and unusual disease patterns that may affect the shelters and our community,” the agency said in a statement.
DPH also noted that they have been receiving reports of chickenpox, tuberculosis, infestations, and other illnesses like sexually transmitted illnesses (STI) among illegal immigrants. They foresaw widespread breakouts in the community.
“Recently, we have been receiving reports of Chickenpox, TB, infestations and other conditions such as Sexually Transmitted Illnesses (STI) among migrants receiving assistance at shelters. With the influx of migrants, the majority from Latin America, DPH is expecting to have individuals affected by conditions of Public Health importance not commonly found in our community.”
