ACTION

 Yet another debacle of the Obama administration's inability to govern
effectively. Scabies, chicken-pox, strep and God only knows what other
communicable diseases have now been brought into this country to be
dealt with by the medical staff personnel. Oh wait a minute. We now
have Obamacare to take care of it. You know the ten scariest words in
the English language? I'm from the government and I'm here to help
you. You better believe it.

 Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face
 arrest

 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.

 My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the
 government camps.

 “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 Baptist
 Family & Children’s Services, 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.

 “When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant –
 ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted. “But
 everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned
 about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be
 concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”

 The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept
 “hush-hush.”

 “You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” she said. “After we
 would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”

 The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files
 indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter
 buses and airplanes.

 “That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids
 around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you
 the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

 I don't mean to upset anyone's Independence Day vacation plans, but were
 these kids transported to the camps before or after they were deloused?
 Anyone who flies the friendly skies could be facing a public health concern.

 The counselor told me the refugee camp resembled a giant emergency room –
 off limits to the public.

 “They did not want the community to know,” she said. “I initially spoke out
 at Lackland because I had a concern the children’s mental health care was
 not being taken care of.”

 She said the breaking point came when camp officials refused to hospitalize
 several children who were suicidal.

 “I made a recommendation that a child needed to be sent to a psychiatric
 unit,” the counselor told me. “He was reaching psychosis. He was suicidal.
 Instead of treating him, they sent him off to a family in the United
 States.”

 She said she filed a Child Protective Services report and quit her job.

 “I didn’t want to lose my license if this kid committed suicide,” she told
 me. “I was done.”

 The counselor kept a detailed journal about what happened during her tenure
 at the facility.

 “When people read that journal they are going to be astonished,” she said.
 ‘I don’t think they will believe what is going on in America.”

 So it was not a great surprise, she said, when she received a call from
 federal agents demanding that she return to the military base and hand over
 her journal.

 She said she declined to do so.

 “I didn’t go back to Lackland,” she said.

 Both workers told me while they have no regrets, they want to remain
 anonymous for fear of reprisals.

 “They’re going to crush the system,” the nurse told me. “We can’t sustain
 this. They are overwhelming the system and I think it’s a travesty.”

 Baptist Family & Childen’s Services spokeswoman Krista Piferrer tells me the
 agency takes “any allegation of malfeasance or inappropriate care of a child
 very seriously.”

 “There are a number of checks and balances to ensure children are receiving
 appropriate and adequate mental health care,” she said.

 Piferrer said the clinicians are supervised by a federal field specialist
 from HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement. She also said BFCS have 58
 medical professionals serving at Lackland.

 “Every illness, whether it is a headache or something more serious, is
 recorded in a child’s electronic medical record and posted on WebEOC – a
 real-time, web-based platform that is visible to not only BFCS but the U.S.
 Department of Health and Human Services,” she said.

 As for those brown shirts, the BFCS said they are “incident management team
 personnel” – who happen to wear tan shirts.

 My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the
 government camps.

 “This is just the beginning,” one source told me. "It is a long-term
 financial responsibility.”
