On October 3, on the Fox News program Outnumbered, Kirsten Powers said she was very surprised that the vomitus and feces of Liberian national Thomas Duncan were not immediately cleaned up, but remained in an apartment complex in the Dallas area for about 10 days. She said, in effect, surely there are people standing ready in the United States to clean up immigrants’ lethal bodily fluids.
Thomas Duncan is not to blame for the crisis of viruses popping up across the United States – the politics of Kirsten Powers are to blame. In her widely read articles and statements, Ms. Powers has been especially vocal in maintaining the USA has the resources and obligation to take in immigrants who carry highly infectious, even fatal, diseases.
Mr. Duncan cashed in on two sets of IOUs worth millions of dollars, provided by those Democrat politics. The first marker: that if his son got to the United States, legally or illegally, American taxpayers would take over feeding, educating, and providing free medical care for the rest of the boy’s childhood. According to Mr. Duncan’s sister (who is here on an expired visa), that happened. The second marker leveraged the child’s presence in the United States to expedite Mr. Duncan’s entrance into the USA. And Mr. Duncan lied about his exposure to Ebola when he cashed in that marker.
Ms. Powers’s positions require billions of dollars of other people’s money and risks to other people’s lives. She lives in an affluent bubble, enjoying the delusion that there is a standing army of trained health care workers ready to protect the public from the results of Democrat policies. The opposite is true. The American medical establishment is in chaos due to Obamacare.....

She's wedded her politics to her religious conversion.
"....Powers was raised as an Episcopalian but spent much of her early adult life as an atheist. In her mid-30s, she became an evangelical Christian. The process of conversion began when she dated a religious Christian man, who introduced her to the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and the teachings of its pastor, Tim Keller, and culminated in an experience in 2006 when, during a trip to Taiwan, she believes that she was visited by Jesus. She has called her conversion "a bit of a mind bender" due to her political beliefs and former atheism, and prefers the term "orthodox Christian" over "evangelical" to describe herself, given the "cultural baggage" around the word "evangelical". She has said that the biggest impact her new-found religiosity had on her political beliefs was that she came to "view everyone as God's child and that means everyone deserves grace and respect.".....

.....Powers married Dr. Marty Makary, Professor of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, in January 2010.
Powers briefly dated former Congressman Anthony Weiner in 2002, and remained his close friend after their romantic relationship ended. After initially defending him when the story of Weiner's sexting scandal surfaced in May 2011, Powers later condemned his conduct and called for his resignation from Congress."....
LOL
So we are supposed to be at the beck and call and service to illegal aliens now??
Brit Hume and Kirsten Powers have been VERY vocal on allowing immigrant Central American “children” (I expect ALL children) passage into the United States.
So she’s something of a Democratic Ann Coulter?
DEPORT the relatives that have OVER EXPIRED Visas!!!! DEPORT THEM!!
Progressives don’t understand that hounding politicians to “do something” for the poor and “little people” with other people’s money AIN’T CHARITY. I can’t wait to hear how that negotiation with St. Peter is going to go. Me, I got my own problems but I am planning to just point to Him and say He invited me. I know better than claim I deserve it
This article is poorly written ... some of it makes no sense at all....

He arrives in America gets sick and his son is taken care of for life... total malarkey
Freeper slackers - 10 posts and not one pic of Mel Brooks as Harvey Korman’s “Piss Boy”.........
why didn’t the dude throw up in the toilet and poop in the toilet and why didn’t it then get flushed?
And aren’t there teams that go in after say murders and suicides to clean up the mess which contains pathogens?
Wait....what is this “10 days” until the vomitus etc was cleaned? That seems totally wrong.....I don’t think he was even in the US that long.
Sorry, I get stuck on little details. Helps know whether to take something seriously.
I think they were trying to get outside to get to the hospital. Incidentals to that. I am guessing.
If she’s a democrat, then she is NOT a Christian. the two belief systems are incompatible to the point of being diametrically opposed to each other.
She is a social justice Christian which is another version of Marxism. There is a lot of taking from the successful to give to the masses.
Pray America wakes up
Spot on!
Your typical non-Beltway dwelling resident of this country can’t afford maid service, Kirsten Babe.
Duncan was taken to the hospital on Sunday, 9/28/14. The men power washed the outside of the apartments on Thursday, 10/2/14. So more like 4 days.
