The United States Customs and Border Patrol has confirmed three cases of tuberculosis among illegal aliens at the southern border in El Paso, Texas.
The CDC reported a significant rise in tuberculosis cases in the United States in 2022, with many medical professionals attributing this increase to the record breaking number of illegals crossing the southern border.

From Daily Caller:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources confirmed Friday three migrants arrived at the border in El Paso with tuberculosis, according to Griff Jenkins of Fox News.
“BREAKING: CBP sources confirm to FOX News that there are ** three confirmed cases of Tuberculosis ** among migrants in the El Paso sector… further complicating the already daunting task of managing an overwhelming number arriving daily,” Jenkins, a national correspondent for Fox News, wrote on Twitter.
Although there has been a surge in illegal immigration since the end of Title 42 in May, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Biden is “stopping the flow at the border” during an August press conference. The Trump-era expulsion policy turned away asylum seekers at the border if there was a “serious danger to the introduction of [a communicable] disease into the United States.”
