A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any
information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San
Antonio, Texas, sources say.
In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their
confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers
deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose
their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution.
“There were several of us who wanted to talk about
the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested,” a psychiatric counselor told me. “We were under
orders not to say anything.”
The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the BCFS, which the
Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp.
The sources say security
forces called themselves the “Brown Shirts.”
“It was a very submissive atmosphere,”
the counselor said. “Once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.”
She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone
was immediately fired.
“Everyone was paranoid,” she said. “The children had
more rights than the workers.”
She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken
pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues.
“It was not a good atmosphere
in terms of health,” she said. “I would be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their hair.”
A former nurse at the camp told me she was horrified by what she saw.
“We have
so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,”
she said. “We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”
Both
the counselor and the nurse said their superiors tried to cover up the extent of the illnesses.
