Surprises that ABC would publish this at all because I didn’t see any “Let’s hate Trump” passages.

One would have to be a complete fool not to realize we need to control our borders.

“Illustrating how our own open borders globalistic pimps like jorge bush, and company, have such total disregard for decent Americans.”

Oh come on now. This has NOTHING AT ALL to do with illegal immigration. This is normal commerce and personal travel. Surely you aren’t suggesting to not have international airports?

What is DOES do is put to bed the myth that Trump blew it by not testing earlier. How on earth would we have dealt with so many people? Impossible.

South Korea has 2 international airports to our approx. 150. Their testing-oriented approach worked because the problem was several orders of magnitude simpler than our problem. The response to this article is to say Trump didnt have a chance in hell to stop entry of the virus. Millions of early tests and we STILL would have dealt with it on a massive scale.

That's rich, ABC complaining about foreign travel into the U.S., when they complained along with the rest of the Democrat media mouthpieces about how racist it was to ban travelers from China at the end of Jan.

Yes ABC, you were part of the problem, as you have been since siding with Democrats on all things politically correct and anti-American.

Take your BS and peddle it in countries that are anti-America, you both deserve each other.

“Trump tried to ban Iranians but some Odumbo judge struck it down.”

You’ll find the Holy Grail before you find that story in the MSM.

Zinc screws that crumble when you try to tighten them with a screwdriver. Maybe that's why so much of their office furniture uses Allen screws.

I’m pretty convinced we had Wuhan in our country in Dec/Jan but of course can’t prove it...

They can (and do) hop our southern border even more easily...

“ My family and friends there are just waiting until they can get tests that would show the flu-like symptoms they had, starting back as early as December, were actually Covid-19 that they had and got over with mostly mild symptoms, except for two that were severe but not critical, not needing hospitalization.”

Our son spent the week before Mardis Gras in New Orleans, flew back the Monday before. He had a bad cold, maybe some fever, and thinks it might have been the Coronavirus. He’s fine now except that all his gigs are gone.

This article took its shots at Pres. Trump.
When Pres. Trump shut down travel from China. The Chinese then flew to Vancouver and crossed into the U.S., so I'm guessing they are not included in the count.

Also, Air China (and UA & Skywest into San Diego)has been flying into LA & SF & SD looks like weekly. What's up with that?

“ This is normal commerce and personal travel. ”

If after this is over, we return to “normal” we’ve learned nothing.

So, it wasn’t Russia, Russia, Russia or Ukraine, Ukraine Ukraine. It was China, China, China all the time.

Thanks Wicked Bitch of the West Peloser and Shitty Schiff. Shitty Schiff, as Chairman of the Intel Committee, did you read those Intel reports about China and the virus or were you too busy Impeaching? I want an investigation!

You did read the title, right? Enact the travel bans Trump suggested. But low level federal lackeys and people like you won't tolerate it.

Go back to dimoRAT underground newbe.

Not only that, but they never seem to talk about what other countries were doing, and when.

When did Germany, France, etc., start restricting travel from China and other countries?

Is this the same thing as when the artillery fired off in Syria occurred in Kentucky?
