Dallas Ebola Patient Was Another Visa Mistake
Center for Immigration Studies ^ | October 1, 2014 | Jesicca Vaughan

Posted on 10/01/2014 6:09:22 PM PDT by OddLane

Look up "likely visa overstay" in the dictionary, and you should find a picture of Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who is the first Ebola case diagnosed within the United States, and who is now being treated in a Dallas hospital.

This looks like another good case for the consular officers training manual of a non-immigrant visa that never should have been issued, but which could have serious public health consequences, not to mention monetary costs.

According to his Facebook page and other reports, Duncan is a 40-something, single, unemployed Liberian living in Ghana who applied sometime in the last year for a visa to visit his sister in the United States. It was reportedly his first time visiting this country.

That is six strikes against his application:

Single Unemployed Liberian (5th highest overstay rate of any country in the world) Living outside country of citizenship First time traveler to the United States Sister living in the United States.

Just like the Tsarnaevs. Obola strikes again with malice, dont mistake it for incompetence.

Whether it’s malice or incompetence, the results are the same. People will die.

If Obama won’t do his job to protect the USA, when will congressmen do theirs and force him? I see from the article that one democrat, Alan Grayson, has asked for travel restrictions.

This is not a political issue any more, this is a life and death issue. Every congressman/woman should be willing to force Obama to protect US citizens.

I get angry every time I see a “woman of cover” with her brood in tow in my little corner of the world where not so long ago this was unthinkable.

They go shopping in groups in the middle of the day - where do they get the money? Rhetorical question...since we all know where they get it.

Our government has NO interest in protecting us - we are just tax paying units to them.

What’s really upsetting is these illegals getting visas are creating their own countries within the US. I had no idea there were big Liberian communities in the US nevermind in Dallas of all places. What’s going on with our country?

FROM YOU BABY! FROM YOU IF YOU WORK AND PAY TAXES.

Same place he, his sis, her kids and all the 12 or so people living in the Section 8 housing apartment in Dallas go the rent and the groceries and the health care they don’t pay for and you do.

He got the money from you.

Don’t you feel better now?

Invasion. Biblical judgment. Happening all over the place, not just here. I think I’ll do a little research to find out which nations have immigration issues and see how they are with certain moral issues. Especially the ones that would trigger the wrath of God. No one can change what is happening. it is inevitable. right?

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Thanks for the warning, but at least on this issue, he’s right. Time for some other congressmen to turn up the heat and force Obama to shut down these flights.

If a few thousand people contract Ebola in any city, I'd say they will be headed to Washington and spewing anything liquid after they jump the fence @ 1600.

Might as well vote while they are still alive.

They have done this on purpose - deliberately disregarding the productive citizens who made this a great country.

The are diluting the self-reliant population with those who only survive with government handouts - thus consolidating power and money in D.C. No wonder the areas around D.C. are some of the richest in the country.

Now they’ve put us in great danger with their greedy plots. Bastards.

Seriously, it makes you angry to see a mother and her children grocery shopping?

I want to know how he could afford to buy the airline tickets. Someone gave him the money. This is terrorism.
