Measles

Measles in Montgomery County

The talking heads are blaming the outbreak of measles in the US as a result of parents not having their children immunized. Nobody is discussing the influx of some 60,000 illegal alien minors crossing our borders over the past several months who are not checked for diseases. Some of these minors were secretly sent to Montgomery County, specifically to the Lutheran Childrens’ Family Services at 1256 Easton Rd., in Roslyn, PA, where they were to be temporarily housed until foster parents could be provided for them.

Being concerned not only about diseases but also about the cost to the Roslyn area taxpayers for the education and other services to be provided to these minors, I contacted Rep. Madeleine Dean on August 4, 2014. Here are some excerpts from that letter:

Dear Representative. Dean:

You are probably aware of the chaos on our Southern Border with reference to approximately 60,000 unaccompanied minors entering our country.

What is not being discussed is the potential health crisis. The CDC is very secretive about the contagious diseases for which border crossers are now being quarantined. It is known that a few Border Patrol agents have been exposed to and come down with TB. Others, and their family members, have come down with measles/chicken pox, scabies and lice.

It has been revealed that these minors are secretly being transported to various states without the states being notified. Apparently, from the information shown below, some now reside in our area.

Here is an employment ad that was placed by Lutheran Childrens’ Family Services during the influx:

Ms. Dean called Mr. Peter Gottemoller (215-881-6800, X227) in charge of the services in Roslyn. He told her that less than ten minors were being transferred to their facility. Case closed! Ms. Dean and I didn’t share the same concerns being imposed upon her constituents.

Whether or not this is a case of the measles in Montgomery County and, if so, whether or not the minor involved is an illegal alien, one should be concerned about the lack of enforcement at our borders and the dire health and financial consequences imposed upon us by our own government agencies. Secret transfers, giving millions of our taxpayer monies to agencies to house illegals, unlawful work permits, unlawful prosecutorial discretion, and withholding information regarding diseases is all part of our most transparent current government.
