Option 1: Deny their visa or entry to the U.S. if their point of origination is one of the countries overwhelmed by ebola. Risk of infection to other travelers, or our citizens? 0.01%

Option 2: Allow them to travel here; take their temperature upon arrival; use the honor system for these travelers to self-report possible exposure; then release them into the general population, while our oh-so-effective and oh-so-efficient government “monitors” them for 21 days. Risk of infection to other travelers, or our citizens? MUCH > 0.01%, but risk increases exponentially with the number of (potentially) infected travelers arriving here.

So option 1 is cheap, and virtually 100% effective. Option 2 will be ridiculously expensive to implement, doesn’t keep the virus from entering the U.S., and only needs to fail in once instance for a wide-spread problem to occur.

Obola hasn’t let us down again - given stark, easy choices, he makes the wrong one yet again.

OR You forgot one option! Let them come here-and give them free phones. They can then spend 14+ hours on the phone trying to enroll in Obamacare.... which may or MAY NOT mean they have coverage!

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.
