Immigration Expert: Obama Admin Responsible for Letting Ebola Patient Into U.S.
Breitbart News ^ | October 1, 2014 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 10/01/2014 4:14:08 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Barack Obama, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, and Secretary of State John Kerry are directly responsible for allowing Ebola into the United States, the Center for Immigration Studies Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan told Breitbart News.

Vaughan points to federal law--the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)--which she notes gives the administration “broad authority” to bar non-citizens like Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient allowed into the U.S., from entering the country. The administration took no steps pursuant to that federal law, however, to block people like him from potentially endangering Americans.

“They have broad authority to bar any non-citizen from entering the country,” she said in a phone interview with Breitbart News. “But the INA does have a provision on the books already that bars people who have communicable diseases who of public health significance. It gives the authority to HHS to create that list. The language says it’s only people who have them who are barred."

The immigration rules were...if you're sick...no entry. Period.

IIRC, Obama himself relaxed this rule..perhaps by one of his famous illegal executive orders.

Not to mention that they’re still letting airlines in from there.

LOL..Did you ever hear the joke, one day Sherlock Holmes was testing his powers of observation and asked Watson to blindfold him then lead him into the woods to see if he could tell where he was stepping. So Watson blindfolds him and leads Holmes along a stone path and Holmes says “I can hear the sound my shoes are making, I am walking on a stone path” “Correct” said Watson. Holmes then walked some more and stepped on grass and heard the sound that made “I must be walking on grass” “Correct” said Watson. Holmes then walked some more and feels something soft under his shoes “I must have walked onto mud” Watson says “No, sh*t Sherlock”.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (CBS/AP) — The Rhode Island health department announced Wednesday that a 10-year-old girl has died from a staph infection associated with the enterovirus D68, a respiratory virus that has been affecting children across the country.

Child death in Rhode Island first linked in U.S. to virus

The respiratory virus has been confirmed in 472 people, mostly children, in 41 states and Washington, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most infected with the virus suffer cold symptoms though it has caused breathing difficulties in some and may be linked to paralysis in 17 children. The CDC said it has detected EV-D68 in three patients who have died though the role the virus played in the deaths is unclear.

time for class action against this administration for reckless endangerment! breach of oath of office

I suspect that this guy is undocumented. Remember he had to tell the hospital that he was from Liberia. This would imply he had neither passport nor visa. An illegal who looks like Obama brought Ebola to our country with the help of our government. Who is going to pay for his hospitalization? Obama Care?

On another thread a few days ago, someone called it Obola.

I think that sounds appropriate.

"The immigration rules were...if you're sick...no entry. Period."

Those were the rules at Ellis Island.

This country has obviously gotten a lot dumber over the last 80 years - the last six in particular.
