Those looking for good news on the fight against Ebola will not find much encouragement from Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, the commander of the U.S. Southern Command. As Jim Garamone of Department of Defense News reports, Kelly told an audience at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday that, if the disease reaches Central America, "it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States." He also said with certainty that "there is no way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa."
“By the end of the year, there’s supposed to be 1.4 million people infected with Ebola and 62 percent of them dying, according to the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]..."
“So, much like West Africa, it will rage for a period of time,” Kelly said.
This is particularly possible scenario if the disease gets to Haiti or Central America, he said. If the disease gets to countries like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador, it will cause a panic and people will flee the region, the general said.
“If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States,” Kelly said. “They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.”
Kelly said that human trafficking could be an additional wrinkle in the battle to contain the disease. He related a disturbing anecdote from a recent visit to Central America where some men from Liberia were headed to the United States:.....

A country without borders is not a country.
And this would be different than today how?
Do they think that because the ‘news’ isn’t covering the flooding of our border, that only ebola would bring them here?
Ah huh, suuuuure.
It’s an “act of love”. Their “love” is infectious.
Maybe I’m wrong here.....but I doubt if there’s been a single African who has flown into El Salvador or Panama since WW II straight from Africa.
I would agree though...the day that some guy in Panama City says he’s got Ebola....it’ll freak out folks there. Whole bunch will try to get tickets and just fly into Miami to escape because they don’t think med services in Panama amount to anything.
Wow.....that,s great news for Obama and his minions.....
Well...I,m heading to the woods hoping space aliens aduct me!!!
Hey General Kelly, WAKE UP....it is already happening you dufus. You and your homo boss are letting it.
President Obola will encourage the mass migration in the future, just as he has in the past.
Google Huam rafficking between South America and Western Africa....there is a steady stream of slaves, drugs, terrorist, etc... coming in weekly....the path has already been established....plus reprots of 10 dying of Ebola in South America last week was reproted as well....it is already spreading...and yet the US govt has no intentin or plan to contain it....just like dealing with ISIS...
Every week I say to myself it cannot get any worst with the current adminstration...and yet they prove me wrong ....damn!
Human Trafficking...sorry...I am on my Driod....bad driod!
Is well underway,
Not to worry, the elite have their vast network of underground facilities, well stocked and ready to ride out the storm in, against arising as Kings to rule forever over the remnants...just enough for perform as subjugated serfs. .
Just hope that someone has figured out how to 'interfere' with with air ventilation systems.
He means “MORE” mass.
FoxNews Alert:
Thomas Duncan died this morning in Dallas.
Why would the Africans have to have a straight flight? Duncan didn’t have a straight flight to the US.
Obama is working on it.
F$@k that!
"Thomas Duncan died this morning in Dallas."
Nice going, President Obama.
As if it would be so difficult to turn travelers around who we have visited Ebola hotspots in the previous six months.
Americans returning home should go into quarantine and anyone departing here now should know it is a one-way ticket.
To reach USA they must cross Mexico—they will spread Ebola to that sad nation causing revolution, death and destruction. Mexico will stop them when the epedemic hits them hard. All the drug money in the world can’t stop the bloody war that will enflame Mexico—make 1910 look like a picknik. Only growth industry will be the funneral industry—and casket makers. No, other forces will stop Ebola.
