Here I go once more into the breach.
“Why do we let people into our country who are from countries with
deadly diseases like Ebola?”
Sounds like a good question until you
take a closer look at it. My answer would be, “how do you keep 'em
out?” If you can answer that one, you should be president, vice
president, secretary of state and head of both houses. For every
argument you can give for keeping people out of the U.S., there are
two more showing you how it's impossible to do it – or any other
country for that matter [even so-called closed Communist Countries].
Besides, we are not what you would call excellent protectors of our
borders...and there's a good reason we aren't, i.e., nearly 20
thousand miles of border to protect is a lot of miles.
People enter the U.S.A. every day with
various illnesses, maybe not Ebola, but other deadly ones. The
reason you don't hear about them is they are usually hospitalized
quietly and cured, or they die. Or they sniffle, snuffle, cough and
wheeze, then climb on a bus, train or plane and depart to some other
country, state, county or town never to be heard of at all...PERIOD.
Ebola is a media disease. It's
captured the hearts and minds of all the shock-jocks and conspiracy
nuts who've got air-wave voices. What's better to stir up the masses
than a good ol' plague with no cure? EBOLA. The killer of
EVERYBODY. Hide. Dig a hole and climb in it. Run away. Get some
of those surgery masks and walk around town showing people you ARE
PREPARED.
Or. We could just treat whomever
enters our country who shows signs of a disease and let it go at that
and stop thinking that the sky is falling cause there are a couple of
sick people in a population of 300 million citizens.
