Polish people who are steeped in Catholicism, have a reputation for virulent Antisemitism and played no small part in the Nazi Final Solution, can be expected to welcome Kaczynski's depiction of Muslim refugees as the new scapegoat now that the Jews who were associated with typhus in the last century are gone. It will be up to left-wing politicians to redeem the Poles from this latest example of sectarian nationalism in a country that is synonymous with bigotry.

GREEK health authorities have pointed the finger at refugees after a suspected cholera case was reported on Kos island. It is feared that the bacterial infection may have been brought in through the influx of migrants arriving on the Greek island, which has become a main entry point for those fleeing war-torn countries. An official from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a 79-year-old Dutch tourist with symptoms of cholera was transferred from Kos for tests and treatment in an Athens hospital.

Most refugees enter Europe without getting quarantined or checked up for infectious diseases and some of them may carry dangerous bacterial infections such as cholera, which was actually detected on Kos island in Greece. The last confirmed case of cholera was reported in 1993 in Greece and the disease was most likely to have been brought in by the migratory waves passing through the country.

FBI Director Admits U.S. Will Have No Basis to Vet Some Syrian Refugees
October 21, 2015 | FBI Director James Comey, flanked by the nation’s top intelligence officials, admitted to the House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday that for some of the 10,000 Syrian refugees the administration has agreed to allow into the U.S., there will be no basis to vet them through the databases it uses to determine if they have ties to terrorism. “We can only query against that which we have collected, and so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflected in our database, we can query our database til the cows come home, but … there’ll be nothing show up, because we have no record on that person,” said Comey.

As CNSNews.com reported earlier, the White House has agreed to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States over the next year. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also admitted last week that the U.S. won’t “know a whole lot” about the refugees it allows into the U.S.

Ranking member Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) asked Comey, “Mr. Director, before this committee, [FBI] Assistant Director [Michael] Steinbach said that the concerns in Syria is that we don’t have the systems in place on the ground to collect the information to vet. That would be the concern. Databases don’t hold the information on these individuals. Is that still the position of the department?” “Yes, I think that’s the challenge we’re all talking about, is that we can only query against that which we have collected, and so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflected in our database, we can query our database til the cows come home, but we’re not gonna—there’ll be nothing show up, because we have no record on that person,” said Comey. “That’s what Assistant Director Steinbach was talking about,” he added.

Comey said the U.S. had a decade’s worth of information with which to vet Iraqi refugees because of the United States’ work there. “You can only query what you’ve collected, and with respect to Iraqi refugees, we had far more in our databases because of our country’s work there for a decade. This is a different situation,” he said.

Earlier in the hearing, Thompson asked Comey, Johnson, and Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Nicholas Rasmussen to explain their agencies’ position on the vetting process. “A lot of us are concerned about whether you have enough information available to you to do an accurate vetting,” said Thompson. “You can’t account for what you don’t know, and that goes to the intelligence deficit that I think is embedded in your question. What we can do though is understand where the potential vulnerabilities are so that we’re asking in the screening and vetting process the right kinds of questions to give our screeners and vetters the best possible opportunity to make an informed judgment,” said Rasmussen. “It is not a perfect process. There is a degree of risk attached to any screening and vetting process. We look to manage that risk as best we can,” Rasmussen added. “We may have somebody who comes to us and is simply not on our radar for any discernible reason, and there may also be the possibility that somebody decides to do something bad after being admitted through the process, but we do have a good system in place for the undertaking that we have made,” Johnson said.

Judiciary Chair: Don’t Release Criminal Illegals Under New Sentencing Guidelines--Deport Them
October 20, 2015 | – House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday to request that criminal illegal aliens convicted of drug crimes, who are set to be released from federal prisons following a sentencing commission decision, be deported rather than be allowed to stay in the U.S.

“I fully expect that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will issue a detainer with the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) for each alien expected to be released pursuant to Amendment 782, and that each alien will be taken into custody by ICE, as required by the Immigration and Nationality Act, for purposes of initiating removal proceedings or to execute the removal order of each alien who is already subject to a final order of removal from the United States,” Goodlatte said in the letter.

On April 30, 2014, the United States Sentencing Commission approved Amendment 782, which modified the United States Sentencing Guidelines to lower the base offense level for federal controlled substances offenses, Goodlatte explained in his letter. That amendment was made retroactive by the commission. As a result, Goodlatte explained, of the 6,000 convicted criminals set for release on Nov. 1, some 2,000 are convicted criminal aliens and should be deported, in keeping with the Obama administration’s immigration policy that prioritizes deporting illegals who have been convicted of certain crimes, including the drug trafficking offenses detailed in Priority 1 of the November 2014 DHS directive.

In the letter, Goodlatte reminds Johnson of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in July when he was asked by committee members about the commission’s amendment and its impact on illegal aliens incarcerated in federal prisons. “I’m aware of this issue,” Johnson said. “I’m aware of the adjustment to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. “I’m aware that a number of individuals will be released as a result,” Johnson said. “I’m aware that a number of them are probably undocumented, and we’ve been working with DOJ to do the most effective thing for public safety in that regard.” Goodlatte said in the letter that he expects a response from Johnson by Oct. 30.

Pew: Immigrants Will Account For 88% of US Population Growth by 2065
October 21, 2015 | If current demographic trends continue, over 100 million future immigrants and their descendants will account for 88 percent of population growth in the U.S. over the next 50 years, according to a recent report by the Pew Research Center.

Pew's analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data projects that the total population of the United States will increase by 117 million people, from 324 million in 2015 to 441 million people in 2065. Without immigration, the projected U.S. population in 2065 would be 338 million, according to Pew. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) recently released a chart, using Pew data, showing that for every native-born American added to the country’s current population, immigration will add seven more over the next half century. One in five immigrants worldwide currently reside in the U.S. With 103 million first- or second-generation immigrants comprising 36 percent of the U.S. population by 2065, Pew estimates that in 50 years, a record 17.7 percent of the U.S. population will be foreign-born - compared to the current 14 percent and five percent in 1965.

Pew also reports that since 1965, foreign-born immigrants have been the main driver of U.S. population growth as well as demographic change. The report argues that 1965 saw a major shift in immigration policy with the passage of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The 1965 law changed the criteria for immigrants admitted to the United States. Before 1965, quotas were assigned to countries based on how nationalities were represented in the census. According to Pew, 70 percent of visas were reserved for immigrants from Europe, primarily the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany. Prior to 1965, 80 percent of immigrants were white. However, the new immigration system abandoned national origin quotas, and instead focused on bringing in relatives of U.S. citizens, as well as taking in immigrants based on their skills in the workplace.

Since the 1965 changes in the law, three quarters of immigrants to the U.S. have been Hispanics and Asians. Hispanics currently represent 47 percent of immigrants, while Asians represent 26 percent. While whites currently comprise the majority of Americans (62 percent), Pew projects that they will only make up 46 percent of the population in 2065. Hispanics are expected to make up 24 percent, a six percent increase from 2015, while Asians are expected to make up 14 percent of the population. Meanwhile, the black percentage of the U.S. population is expected to grow slightly from 12 to 13 percent. Similarly, the black percentage of immigrants is expected to rise only one percent in the next 50 years, from eight percent to nine percent. By 2055, "no racial or ethnic group will constitute a majority of the U.S. population," Pew predicts.

Swiss studying waste management to reduce disease risk from parasites...

Study: Parasites Prompt Need for Safe Waste Management
April 08, 2016 - Swiss study in Uganda underlines need for increased protective measures for urban farmers and marginalized groups

People who live in rapidly expanding urban areas of low income countries are at the greatest risk of intestinal parasitic infection, according to a new study. Contact with human and animal fecal matter in areas where safe management of wastewater and fecal waste is lacking causes infections such as hookworms and intestinal protozoa. The study was conducted by researchers from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute and their colleagues in Uganda. They examined the prevalence and risk factors for intestinal parasitic infections in the growing suburbs of Kampala, where only a small proportion of wastewater is treated. The vast majority of the city's wastewater is discharged without treatment into open storm water channels, jeopardizing the health of people who come into contact with it.

Fish waste products from the fish processing plants are dried in the sun in Masese, before being sold to the Congo for protein Masese, Uganda

Dr. Samuel Fuhrimann, the study's lead author, says the findings call for increased protective public health measures for urban farmers and marginalized groups. The study also found that wastewater can be successfully recycled to boost food production. The study was conducted within the framework of the Resource Recovery and Reuse project with a clear focus on urban centers in low and middle income countries," said Fuhrimann. "There we had one major recourse, which was wastewater, and this generated a lot of livelihood when it is reused, especially in the urban settings. The high nutrient loads and the all-year-round availability has a lot of gains for agriculture and aquaculture in these settings.

The study used a cross-sectional survey of five groups totaling about 950 people. The pool included people who would likely be at risk of contact with the wastewater, including workers at wastewater facilities, workers collecting fecal sludge from pits using vacuum trucks, urban farmers and slum dwellers. While the examination of only one stool sample was used per person, Fuhrimann says the results raise important issues concerning the proper treatment of fecal waste. As urbanization continues at a rapid pace, this poses special challenges for the safe management of the wastewater and also fecal sludge, which is actually collected from pit latrines," said Fuhrimann, adding that some 90 percent of Kampalans rely on pit latrines for toilets, causing a huge challenge for safe waste management.
