Emails Reveal CDC Officials Slamming 'Marxist' Obama During Illegal Immigrant Influx

Emails recently obtained by Judicial Watch reveal disgusted CDC officials griping about the president of the United States, describing him as  “the worst pres we have ever had,” an “amateur” and a “Marxist.”

The two officials traded the emails on June 9, 2014, when the Texas border was being overwhelmed with a massive influx of illegal immigrant minors. Another email dated June 18, 2014, shows a CDC intelligence analyst describing the situation as a “Leave No Child on the other Side of the Border Policy,” referring to the Bush-era education law known as “No Child Left Behind.”

JW got the records as part of an investigation into the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) activation of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to deal with the barrage of illegal alien minors last summer. Tens of thousands of Central Americans came into the United States through the Mexican border and contagious diseases—many considered to be eradicated in the U.S.—became a tremendous concern. The CDC, which operates under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), responded by opening an emergency facility designed to monitor and coordinate response activities to eminent public health threats.

This special emergency division was created after the 2001 terrorist attacks and has responded to more than 50 public health threats, including hurricanes, food borne disease outbreaks, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the Haiti cholera outbreak. Scientists from across the CDC are brought together to analyze, validate, and efficiently exchange information during a public health emergency and connect with response partners. The EOC also coordinates the deployment of CDC staff and the procurement and management of all equipment and supplies that agency responders may need during their deployment.

It’s a major and costly operation that can stick American taxpayers with a huge tab. That’s why JW launched a probe when the Obama administration took in the illegal immigrants, initially coined Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), with open arms last summer. JW has sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for planning records involving the border crisis as well as information relating to the solicitation of “on-demand escort services” for the 65,000 UACs that remain in the U.S. Last year JW also reported that the illegal immigrant minors have brought in serious diseases, including swine flu, dengue fever, possibly Ebola virus and tuberculosis.

The CDC records include email exchanges between agency officials who were directly involved in the activation of the EOC to handle the health threats created by the influx of illegal alien minors.

In an email dated June 9, 2014, CDC Logistics Management Specialist George Roark wrote to CDC Public Health Advisor William Adams that “no country in the world would allow” the influx. Adams replies that “in ten years or less, they’ll all be voting…Commander’s intent…” Roark fires back by describing Obama as “the worst pres we have ever had…he truly is ‘the amateur’ but a Marxist too.”

It’s instructive that these public health professionals who were dealing with Obama’s manufactured crisis on the ground were saying privately the very same things many of us were saying publicly.
