The biggest problem is the inability to track the disease. It actually makes quarantining MORE difficult and could actually cause the disease to spread faster.
Listen to the scientists not the nitwit politicians.
You have to really hate your country and fellow citizens to see things this way.
So the eating of bushmeat is a priority over the lives of American Citizens? Don’t you just love LIBs?
But maybe it’s not his country. Natural born requirement makes sense for this very reason.
You have to be of a depraved mind to see things this way.
Romans 1:20-22
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:
21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

CDC is worried about African economies?
Not. Our. Problem.
What happens to our economies when obola cranks up to a couple thousand victims?
What economies?
I'm not worried about their economy. I do worry about ours and the overall safety of Americans.
He doesn’t care about our economy as much as he does West Africa’s.
Please explain this. Why does allowing potentially infected people into the US at will improve disease tracking? This sounds like complete political BS, but I'm willing to listen to a logical explanation.
You forgot the sarc tag.

Triple orders of cajones, please deliver to capital hill....
What economies?
Hee hee. That’s the same thing hubby and I asked, as we listened to the yahoos at the Dallas #FactsNotFear town hall. They said the same thing about W African economies. Must be the memo they all received.
And once again.....it’s all about black.
The CDC is worried about another country’s economy?
Is that in their mission statement?
They’re worried about Africa over America?
WTH? WTF? WITHIGOH?
Hey Tim !!
Where is your priority ?
Where is your oath of office to protect the American people ?
