Alex Jones dishonestly claims that 1.4 million people died of tuberculosis in the United States last year due to immigrants.

Alex wants to use this statistic of 1.4 million people dying of TB, but he's using it dishonestly. He's lying and saying it's just in the United States, and it's because immigrants and refugees are coming in and infecting everyone. That's essentially Nazi-style propaganda and demonization built out of dishonesty, using the statistic as a lie.

Tuberculosis rates in the United States have been steadily declining.

Also, the tuberculosis rates have been steadily declining all over the United States. If you include just U.S.-born people, it's a much sharper slope downward. If you include just immigrant populations, it's still trending downwards, but it's going down. It's a little slower, but it's still going down.
