I may have been misinformed, but Ellis Island screened people pretty closely for disease, and many were turned back if they were found to be ill upon arrival.
When I was a little girl, I had the habit of biting my fingernails. My grandmother, in an effort to get me to stop, told me that I wouldn’t have been let into the USA if they had checked my nails and saw that I had been biting them. I doubt that it was true, but it did make an impression.
Maybe we should bring Ellis Island out of mothballs, and re-establish the original habit of quarantine.
Cool. We must be idealogical dopplegangers.

Here’s Judge Jeanine, gonna singe zero again.
Did you know this was a liberal issue? They're pushing the 'no Surgeon General' as a way to blame us for their incompetence.
Tell me, what do you think of the Secret Service under Obama?
And the IRS?
And the State Department?
So tell me if Obama had a Surgeon General would be worse.? Much worse? Hell on earth worse? That would be my guess.
What color are Africans? There is your answer.
Pray America wakes
If it’s not black or muslim it’s not on Obama’s Give-A-Crap list
We don’t have a Surgeon General. Even if we did, one appointed by Obama would have to able to look past partisanship to be able to do his job. And what are the chances of that?
This may come as a shock to you but — “American” does not equal “whitey”
Listen to this clown arm-chair QB ..........

He’s never done anything constructive. All he does is attack and destroy.
0bama improves his lie, peeps die.
There have been several acting Surgeon Generals lately (last 10 or 12 years). Regina Benjamin wasn’t an “acting” SG and was in the position for almost 4 years before she resigned—why did she resign? She was a black pro-abortion Catholic. The current acting Surgeon General is Boris Lushniak, a Chicago native of Ukrainian descent.
He the non-conformist President and none of can change anything he decides the country wi; do.
Yes, this will remain the same even if it means Americans die.
He IS that big of egotistical narcissist.
There was absolutely no way any president could DIVERT or PREVENT Katrina from hitting our shores. There was no way to close the border to Katrina. there was no way to quarantine Katrina.
Ebola, however, prevents a different set of issues, and CAN be prevented, closed off, quarantined, and avoided, to protect the American people.
We elect government to to these things, because they are too big for the average American to accomplish.
Otherwise...who NEEDS ‘em?
a) Weakens America/AmericansI have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
‘Or, a ride in an elevator.’
Opportunity missed. Just sayin’. ;)
There is a vey simple explaination for the continued open boarders.
If we close the boarders to Ebola victims it becomes much easier to close the southern boarders. It would only be “fair” to do so.
Once the southern boarder is closed it becomes even harder to grant massed amnesty. And we all know that the future of the Democratic party rests in the hands of the millions of illegal immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American nations.
