As predicted by this blogger, the combination of widespread tuberculosis and polio in Syria with the breakdown of health services for years, plus the complete abdication of responsibility by the federal government to screen incoming refugees before forcibly demanding that states accept them, as resultes in bringing more TB to the U.S. It has been reported that two refugees in Nebraska with TB were identified near the time of their arrival while a couple others were identified years later. It seems that the health care screening of refugees is something the Federal government "forgot" about? While health law is a power of the state, at the point of immigration it is the clear constitutional responsibility of the federal government. The Federal government and its poorly functioning CDC have been avoiding this inherent responsibility of protecting American citizens from danger, yet one of the most obvious risks which can be screened for at immigration has been ignored.
