The title says it all here. Basically a detention Camp for Illegal or the politically correct term "Undocumented" aliens has been determined to be the source of this outbreak. While the numbers at the moment are low, something like 12 confirmed so far, the potential is fairly likely to result in more.
One aspect of the issue from a health perspective and addressed in the article is the fact many diseases which have been defeated or controlled in the US are now making a re-appearance due to the many immigrants coming into the country. Cited references of increase's in TB is a by product of the mass acceptance of immigrants. Especially in the sense of by passing many of our existing laws regarding medical and health status of someone attempting to enter the US.
I suppose some will claim its all alarmist noise but I don't see how one can deny that there are many immigrants coming in both legally and illegally that are originating from countries with less than stellar health care systems.
