    And here some people obsess over imagined risks to us from immigrants.

    Western lifestyles pose risk to migrants' health, says WHO report

    Western culture and society pose more health risks to migrants and refugees than they do to host nations, according to a World Health Organization study.

    The first report on refugee and migrant health in the west by WHO Europe suggests new arrivals are at risk of falling ill while in transit to another country, but face further dangers when they arrive in a host nation because of unhealthy living conditions, poor diet and the obesity epidemic.

    The report on the health of refugees and migrants in the WHO European region says they do not transmit diseases or place a disproportionate burden on healthcare systems, and calls on countries to make decisions about providing services to migrants based on facts, rather than politics or prejudice.

    Well yes because they've been through hell thus they will suffer from post traumatic stress... don't need a report to tell me this.

    The work related injuries I think is either exploitation or lack of training... or a bit of both. Adhering to health and safety regulations can be expensive for a business... employ a migrant who doesn't know any better and try and run things on the cheap exposes workers to more potential injuries.

    With the collapse in male sperm viability, and our plunging birth rate especially amongst we white people, we need immgrants far more than they need us.Not just in the USA but pretty much all over the world Italy,Germany Russia Japan China all have more dying than being born.

    Nah Japan is okay as they're not white. Nobody really cares that they're 98% racially homogeneous and continually refuse to even entertain the idea of mass migration.

    The problem is the ponzi scheme. We need young blood because past investors (the elderly) are paid off with new investors money (young taxpayers).

    Just like any Madoff scheme, if new investors fall off the whole house of cards tumbles.

    When the developing world starts to reach the birth rates of the developed world there is going to be such a global crash that humanity may not survive.

    Mass migration is a bandaid on a rattlesnake bite.

    This is great!
    Let’s deport the illegals based on humanitarian reasons - we worry about their health!

    Yes. It would be immoral to keep them here subjected to such hazards. :)

    A problem that could easily be solved...

    Isn't it interesting, poverty in their home countries keeps them from eating too much, but once their standard of living rises to American levels of poverty, they eat too much unhealthy food and then get fat. Then they're worse off health-wise than they were before.

    That's because the stuff posing as food which is available to the poverty stricken westerner has no nutritional value. Most peeps would be better off eating the cardboard packaging rather than the contents.

    So I guess the countries where they came from then really aren't all that bad. At least they can get cheap food that's nutritious.

    They often still have actual agricultural activity as opposed to the chemical variety but not enough of it and climate change is destroying much of the rest of it anyway.

    Here comes Bill Gates on his trusty GMO steed, looking very much like one of the four horsemen.

    Just about everyone is healthier than westerners diet-wise. Not so much when it comes to avoiding being bombed, raped, abused, and otherwise destroyed which is generally what those seeking refuge are attempting to avoid.

    I agree that food is less nutritional than maybe 100 years ago

    Or at least thats what liberal trump haters in certain parts of academia say

    And I tend to agree with them for once

    It has to do with modern farming practices that favor quanity over quality

    At least muslims can still practice genital mutilation on their females with no interference from the western host countries

    And they get free everything

    So all is not lost

    We don't need more people. AND the WHO report is specific to refugees in Europe. Our immigrants from more tropical climates bring a wide range of diseases.

    Xenophobic countries tend to be much more peacefull than xenophilic one, for instance Poland has one of the lowest homicide rate of EU when UK and France has among the highest one. Japan is one of the most peacefull country in the world, and probably one of the most xenophobic too, the same could be said of China.
    Furthermore, all cultures can't coexist, some countries to the left and some countries to the right, both is fine, as long people don't drive the both way on the same roads. The same could be said of some cultural rules, they're fine when they don't coexist, but make them coexist and you get chaos.
    Legal immigration tend to suck away the most graduated part of the population of a country, illegal immigration encourage among the worst kind of criminal people smuggler, which suck away money from poor people and send them regulary to their death.

    It just a loose/loose result.

    I have seen immigrants wandering around my town with their anchor babes in tow. They don't look too unhealthy to me. Sure they are obese, but most of them were obese when they illegally came across the border. Actually, compared to the city's homeless the illegals look like they are making out like bandits. Free housing, food, medical, school. . . I think it is time for Americans demand that our homeless are looked after before the immigrants are.

    The WHO is a corrupt and impotent organization of globalists. After the Fukashima nuclear disaster, the WHO kept raising the amount of safe radiation levels for humans. It was a hat-tip to nuclear power plant operators in US and Japan.
