So you think people with third world sanitation issues would somehow suddenly conform to modern sanitation if one or more did get Ebola? I disagree and think if anyone from those type of communities gets ill it will spread fast among them. Recently the CDC was chasing and had to arrest an illegal that fled from treatment for TB. I am sure if it was Ebola they would change their whole attitude and lifestyle. Right?

I was under the impression that you were talking about fields in CA (or in some part of the US, anyway). The chance that someone from Africa would be able to migrate out of Africa and all the way across the country of Mexico within the 21 day incubation period of Ebola is just about nil. A few weeks ago, Rush said that it takes about 45 days to traverse to our border... no one with Ebola can survive that long.

I am also quite aware that the coyotes have no use for those who cannot keep up with the others during those trips across our border. People don't even have to be sick--if they are just small and weak, the coyotes will abandon them. From everything I've heard, a LOT of bodies are recovered near those border areas.

While there are plenty of noxious diseases that can cross our southern border, Ebola isn't one of them.

The person that leaves Africa infected with Ebola will not infect anyone else before they die? Why the idea that one person has to bring Ebola from Africa all the way to the US? I was under the impression that Ebola spreads person to person. Ever watch a relay race?

All it needs are a few transfers, or connecting flights. It doesn't have to arrive in the same person it left in.
