US. cases of tuberculosis, a deadly infectious disease that typically strikes the lungs, have soared to their highest level in a decade, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the largest relative increase among children.
After 27 years of declining tuberculosis rates in the United States, cases of the disease started to climb again in 2020—

and they’ve continued to rise every year since, the CDC said in a March 28 report.
In 2023, tuberculosis case counts jumped by 1,295 from the prior year to 9,615, the agency said. This represents an increase of 16 percent and is the highest level since 2013.
While the CDC expected cases to rise, the extent of the increase came as somewhat of a surprise to the agency.
Dr. Philip LoBue, director of the CDC’s Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, told The Associated Press that the 2023 case count was “a little more” than expected.
Tuberculosis incidences increased in every age group in 2023 compared to the year prior, but for reasons unknown children aged 5–14 experienced the largest relative increase—42 percent.
Infections Most Common Among Non-US-Born Individuals
Quote:
The vast majority—76 percent—of tuberculosis cases in the United States in 2023 were in non-U.S.-born persons.
Among 9,573 tuberculosis cases in persons for whom birth origin was known, 7,259 occurred among those who were born outside the United States, the CDC said. This represents an 18 percent increase compared to 2022.
Tuberculosis, which is caused by a bacteria that typically attacks the lungs, is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world.
Nearly 4,400 people globally die each day from tuberculosis, which is spread through the air when someone is infected with the disease sneezes or coughs.
The United States has one of the lowest rates of tuberculosis in the world, but the CDC said in its report that the uptick in cases means that capacity should be strengthened in public health programs to carry out “critical disease control and prevention strategies.”
California With Highest Number of Cases
As was the case in 2022, California reported the highest number of tuberculosis cases in 2023, with 2,113 infections.
Alaska reported the highest infection rate, at 10.6 per 100,000 people.
An estimated 85 percent of the people counted in 2023 were infected at least a year or two earlier and had what’s known as latent tuberculosis. This is when the bacteria enters the body and hibernates in the lungs or other parts of the body, and then becomes reactivated.
Health experts estimate as many as 13 million Americans have latent tuberculosis. People with latent tuberculosis don’t feel sick or have any symptoms, nor can they spread the bacteria to others.
The CDC says that, in order to prevent transmission and reduce fatalities, the disease must be detected quickly and treatment must be initated promptly.
Last November, California health officials said that at least 10 cases of tuberculosis were linked to a casino in Contra Costa County.
“TB can live inside someone for years without showing signs of its presence,” Dr. Meera Sreenivasan said of the disease, according to an earlier report from The Epoch Times.
“That is why it’s important to take a test, even if you do not feel sick. TB can cause serious illness, but it is treatable and curable with medicine, especially when caught early,” he added.
In another widely reported incident, an outbreak of tuberculosis cases at a migrant shelter on Cape Cod was the subject of an alleged coverup.
Types of Tuberculosis And Symptoms
Tuberculosis can be categorized into different types based on its stage (active versus latent) and the part of the body it affects (lungs or outside the lungs), with the two main categories being pulmonary and extrapulmonary.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infection involving the lungs, though this form of the disease can also spread to other organs.

Just one more thing we heard about when we were kids but didn't exist anymore that's making a comeback.
First bedbugs, then measles, now tuberculosis.
I'm sure Polio and Smallpox won't be far behind.
Wonderful leadership in our country. Just wonderful.

Quote:We have this asylum law where, if you get to the United States, we are going to hear your asylum claim. The president cannot fix that. You say the magic words: "I have a credible fear of returning to my country" and then years pass before your case goes to court, much like Trump's cases. Meanwhile, you are running around freely, doing and saying whatever pleases you, much like Trump, because there is not enough jail space to hold you (Thanks Congress!) and not enough judges (Thanks Congress!) to hear your case expeditiously.

I assume everyone knows this. So in case you don't, here it is in plain words: If you get across the border and claim asylum, international law — long ago incorporated into US law as well — requires that we hear your case. You get to stay until we do.
Is it legal to cross the U.S. border to seek asylum?

Five Things to Know About the Right to Seek Asylum
Confusion and misinformation about the right to asylum in the U.S. abound. Here, we set the record straight.

the-right-to-seek-asylum
But Trumptards don't know this about asylum. There is not enough jail space to hold asylum-seekers (Thank Congress!) and not enough judges (Thank Congress!) to hear asylum-seeker cases expeditiously.
Trumptards don't even know that Border Patrol can't execute the so-called "Invaders", as Trumptards like to call them. (Thank Congress!)
Trumptards don't even know that employers can hire whomever they please, including the so-called "Invaders". It sure would be a nicer America if employers (not employees) lost their citizenship for what they are legally free, but not morally free, to do to their "Invader" and non-"Invader" employees. As a secondary effect, there would be many millions fewer "Invaders" coming to America. Quick Reference. In effects research, primary effects are those which are immediate or more predictable while secondary effects are those which are subsequent or less predictable. Secondary effects are distinguished from indirect effects.

Trump issued a number of executive orders, one of which said that if you passed through a number of OTHER nations in your way here, your claims for asylum would not be credible bc you could have claimed asylum in any OTHER country besides here.
Thus, only MEXICAN NATIONALS could credibly claim asylum in the USA.
And then he backed that up by paying Mexico some sums of money to keep foreign nationals in Mexico.
Biden* RESCINDED all of those successful EOs when he took office.
THANKS, BIDEN*

Yup.
Then his administration pretends he has absolutely no power to close the border while his administration does a whole bunch of shit that is unconstitutional and gets shut down by federal courts or even SCOTUS. While getting the useful idiots that watch MSNBC to continue saying reality isn't reality.

2020? I thought Illegal Alien Invasion dropped to new lows then. Wasn't 2021 when they surged?
is there some graph or chart in that article? What was 2019? 2020? 2021?

I must have bonked the url. Ill try to find it again.
You're right. 2020 was lower. There was a surge in 2019, that was probably detected in 2020. I hope this chart links properly. You'd be surprised how hard utbis to find a straightforward chart of illegal migrants in the past 10-20 years.

I meant to ask: is there a matching graph of new TB cases?
Did 2020 increase like,
1%, and then a huge jump under Biden*, or was there really some significant jump in cases in 2020?

Well then. I guess you'd better enjoy the next 6 months before Trump gets reelected and whatever bullshit you're rambling on about is pointed at you.
