I completely agree.

This is becoming a big crisis, yet the administration continues to push this “open borders” crap.

Republicans, push back.

Obama needs the flights from Africa loaded with ebola in order to complete his “Fundamental Transformation” of the US.

Let’s face facts - the disease ridden illegals streaming across the southern border just didn’t get the job done as planned.

Because the PC crowd will accuse us of being ANTI-AFRICAN. Besides that, why should we consider ourselves immune from every diseases? It’s like the SHARE THE WEALTH attitude, except it’s a disease this time.

The Dallas Ebola-guy flew to Europe before flying to America.

Stopping direct flights won’t solve the problem.

“These are the experts, they have a keen understanding of how to prevent the spread of this disease,” he said, adding “we can stop the spread of Ebola in its tracks.”

Because it’s Africa and the carriers are generally black.

If this was some dread disease from Germany, Obama would have closed the border six months ago.

interesting that Washington Post readers tend to be lefties, and most of the comments on the article seem to agree it’s insane not to stop flights from these countries.

British Airways has stopped their flights from these Hot Zones....

We need to refuse any flights that went through any other connecting countries

“sease ridden illegals streaming across the southern border just didn’t get the job done as planned.”

On the bright side, with Enterovirus-68 paralyzing children, he can bring back iron lungs and leg braces.

Refuse anyone from those countries and anyone who has a stamp on their passport from those countries in the last year.
