Could Congolese refugees bring Ebola to America?
That is a possibility presented by Aaron Klein writing at World Net Daily this week, here.
We briefly noted the fact that Ebola, although supposedly a different strain than the one making the news, is present in DR Congo.
And, we are bringing a huge number of Congolese refugees (DR Congo) to America at the UNHCR’s urging—50,000 by 2019, see our post yesterday.
We admitted 4,540 Congolese refugees to the US in FY2014 which ended on Sept. 30th, 2014 (go here, map is incorrect, scroll down to table).
However, I think a greater long-term threat to America is what we reported yesterday—Congolese women in need of mental health treatment raising children in some impoverished home in your town or city.
Remember readers! Refugee health treatment is the responsibility of your local health departments! See our health issues category here for what other diseases and health problems (including mental health) you are responsible for.

Do NOT bring this nightmare here!
Most people have limited to no understanding of the “refugee” system.
It is not related to/under the control of our government. It happens pursuant to a treaty or treaties, and is under the control of the UN.

THAT...right there...is an untolerable situation!
Why won’t other countries in Africa take these refugees in...are they racist?
The whole PURPOSE of the refugee system is to overwhelm and ultimately displace European populations in their native lands.
Forget about why not Africa.
Expand your thinking. Why not China? Why not Japan? Why not the Philippines? Why not Taiwan? Why not India, Southeast Asia, Arabia, South America?
The only way to predict WHERE the UNHCR is going to send their "refugees" is to measure the percentage of the resident population that is of European extraction. Period.
The Sultan will bring ebola effectively to America somehow. If the expediting of visas from Liberia don’t do it then the Congolese refugees might. If that doesn’t accomplish the task then the soldiers might manage to get it done or importing actually sick people for treatment as the Sultan has proposed, more people than there are facilities to treat, will surely let it loose in America.
AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. government must do more to address the needs of Congolese refugee “women at risk” through trauma-related services and social support, according to a report by the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) at The University of Texas at Austin and the Department of Sociology & Social Work at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.
The report issued recommendations for the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, which is responsible for resettling 50,000 Congolese refugees in the United States by 2019. The recommendations are based on a study of refugee women from the Democratic Republic of Congo who have resettled in the United States after decades of unrest in their homeland.
“The women who participated in our study experienced multiple traumas and hardship,” said Noël Busch-Armendariz, lead author of the report and director of IDVSA in The University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. “This study provides empirical evidence to inform the tremendous efforts already underway to meet the needs of Congolese female refugees.”
Although the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program emphasizes economic integration through job placement, the report finds that many refugee women had unmet needs for trauma-related services, social support and longer-time financial support, said IDVSA researcher and project director Karin Wachter. The study was partially funded by a $15,000 grant from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Researchers conducted interviews and focus groups with 57 Congolese refugee women and resettlement service providers in Lexington, Kentucky; San Antonio, Texas; and Salt Lake City, Utah, which have received high numbers of Congolese refugee women during the past decade.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
No more “refugees”
Please.
The right question is “Who from Africa CAN’T bring us Ebola?”
Thanks for the ping!
Ann Corcoran linked to that story in her piece. Good to know that people are becoming aware of the dire situation being imposed on the American health care system and society at large.
