The Syrian refugee crisis just became gravely worse for the refugee, as well as the host countries who are accepting them. The scientific journal PLOS published startling research on May 26, 2016, stating that this crisis “has precipitated a catastrophic outbreak of Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis now affecting hundreds of thousands of people living in refugee camps or trapped in conflict zones.”
This flesh-eating disease has been an epidemic in Syria for two centuries but is spreading across North Africa and the Middle East due to the flight of the Syrian refugee from their wartorn land. Leishmaniasis is caused by a protozoan parasite and is spread through sandflies, including those flies which are here in the United States.
Most countries do not have a mandated reporting requirement for cutaneous leishmaniasis, (CL) and therefore, awareness, treatment and prevention is severely lacking.
Not only is this horrendous epidemic spreading through refugee camps, other diseases are re-emerging and infecting thousands. The numbers who have tuberculosis, polio, measles, hepatitis A, along with many other infections are overwhelming these refugee centers.
Read more about CL and what is being done for those who are suffering. How is the United States preparing to keep these out of our country?
This is Obama’s plan to depopulate America.
Thats because they are dirty filthy people!
Where do tax dollars go… they go to theft–waste–and fraud in every agency of the city-state-federal government…….a guess would be…. about a trillion a year…

Remember when we had a surplus of cash? Remember when W spent it all? Remember when W left two wars, a prescription drug plan and a massive tax giveaways off the books? Remember when you guys became concerned the day W left office? Good stuff! Dummies!
Jason Manley Irrespective SIR! This administration has overspent, 720 Million to rebuild Mosques abroad, massive failures of programs where cronies walked away with millions, monies given to African dictators, massive vacation costs 100 million. SIR you cannot blame everything on Bush, this administration has not presented one working budget but has overspent and is still overspending, why dont you do your homework and see what this administration has over spent 7 trillion on.You are verbose calling people dumb and dummies, but have you looked in the mirror? What’s driving Obama’s unprecedented massive deficits? Spending. Riedl details:
President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion.
President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.
President Bush created a Medicare drug entitlement that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 billion down payment on a new government health care fund.
President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. President Obama would double it.
President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already increased this spending by 20 percent.
President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.
President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
UPDATE: Many Obama defenders in the comments are claiming that the numbers above do not include spending on Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush years. They most certainly do. While Bush did fund the wars through emergency supplementals (not the regular budget process), that spending did not simply vanish. It is included in the numbers above. Also, some Obama defenders are claiming the graphic above represents biased Heritage Foundation numbers. While we stand behind the numbers we put out 100%, the numbers, and the graphic itself, above are from the Washington Post. We originally left out the link to WaPo. It has now been added.
CLARIFICATION: Of course, this Washington Post graphic does not perfectly delineate budget surpluses and deficits by administration. President Bush took office in January 2001, and therefore played a lead role in crafting the FY 2002-2008 budgets. Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for the FY 2009 budget deficit that overlaps their administrations, before President Obama assumes full budgetary responsibility beginning in FY 2010. Overall, President Obama’s budget would add twice as much debt as President Bush over the same number of years.
