It’ll be “Katie bar the door,” Marine General John Kelly says.

The Pentagon’s top commander in South America has warned that if Ebola surfaces in Central America or the Caribbean, there will be a stampede of people heading north across the Rio Grande to the U.S. to escape the disease.

“If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States,” Marine General John Kelly, chief of the U.S. Southern Command, said Tuesday. “They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.”(continued)

I wonder if they’ll be able to make it this far considering most of them are walking.

Expect ‘Mass Migration’ to U.S. if Ebola Comes to Central America

I will not expect the current administration and their friends in the chamber of commerce and racialist allies to try to stop it.

The irony is a major epidemic will bury both the economy and the ethnic communities they were supposed to benefit.

If that comes to pass, it will either be lights out USA as ebola overwhelms us, or a free-fire zone enforced on the border or even into Mexico.

I know what I’d choose, hating myself for it. But what would our current government do? I think I know the answer for that, too.

Salute to General Kelly, telling it like it is, like a Marine should. Unlike General Amos, the worst CMC in my lifetime.

How will we tell the difference from the current mass migration?

At this point in our country’s current disintegration, I think I’d see this proposition of hundreds of Ebola-ridden illegals flowing across our borders as worthy of a simple yawn and the accompanying phrase... “and a cherry on top.”

Fk’ing A right. The wing is beloved. The wing is critical to the USMC. But the Commandant should -never- come from the wing. This would be like letting someone from the USN oceangoing tanker community command all surface warfare forces in the navy.

The same people in Central America that believe American women go to Guatemala to kidnap babies to harvest their organs will believe they will catch Ebola from being a mile down wind from an African.

They have zero rights to come here illegally now.

they will have even less, then. Let their own wonderful socialist corrupt governments they do nothing to change, take care of them.

Driftdiver stated, “Don’t worry, we’ll send planes”, or maybe Moochelle will get on the social network again, and raise her “Hashtag” which did so much good for those young girls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram. Each day it just gets worse with this current administration.

Yeah right, boat loads of Liberians are headed to Central America for their wonderful health care.

If it starts anywhere in North American, it’ll be in USA.

I picture Obama in a Montgomery Burns outfit putting his hands together saying, “Excellent!”

Such a move across Mexico would wreck that nation and spead Ebola. They would ban the movement and close the border. No amount of cartel Money could keep the border open in Mexico—Unlike the USA, Mexico isn’t beset by PC ideas and such.
