I'm sure the tiny scolds will insist on editing this because it once again makes
their Boy King look like dog squeeze.

No, not Obola's Homeland Sec, but Michael Chertoff, the second man to take the position, someone that doesn't hate America. He destroys all the usual strawmen and doubles down on the idea that the perfect must not be the enemy of the good.

Read it all. Highlites:

Unlike in a global pandemic, it is possible to reduce the risk of Ebola importation by suspending all but essential travel to the United States from just those three nations. The government simply has to suspend travel visas for citizens and residents of those nations.

Contrary to administration warnings, this does not mean impeding the travel of essential medical personnel to the region to help stamp out the epidemic at its source. Trained medical and other aid experts should be supported in going to West Africa, but as the lesson of New York doctor Craig Spencer makes clear, they need to be more closely monitored in country and upon their return. In particular, they should be restricted in returning to medical or other work involving close physical contact with others in the United States until they are cleared of any risk of infection.

Equally misguided is the contention by Thomas Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that a visa suspension would drive affected travelers underground, leading them to sneak into the United States unscreened and unmonitored. Whether a Liberian flies to Europe or drives across Africa to an airport in an unaffected country, he or she would still have to present a Liberian passport to board a plane to the United States. At that point, a visa suspension would result in a denial of boarding. Nor is it realistic to fear that our hypothetical traveler would sneak across our land borders. First, we can and should coordinate a visa suspension with Canada and Mexico. Second, smugglers are unlikely to welcome migrants who may be physically unfit to make an arduous trip while posing a threat to the safety of the smugglers themselves.

Frieden is a disgusting tool. Any panic is on his head. He has squandered the reputation of the only Big Fed agency above water. NOBODY trusts the CDC now.

To be sure, it is possible to conjure scenarios in which foreign citizens denied visas forge passports from other nations. But in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, we and other countries substantially upgraded anti-counterfeiting protections that can be easily adapted to detect those who seek to evade travel restrictions.

Money quote:

Of course, the visa suspension I suggest would not guarantee that no Ebola sufferer would enter the United States. But health officials, of all people, should not argue that protective measures are unwarranted unless they are 100 percent effective. Public health professionals continually urge us to eat right, get checkups and engage in other preventive behavior to reduce illness rates, even if those rates cannot be driven to zero.Travel restrictions that reduce the number of Thomas Duncans traveling to the United States are the kind of prudent risk management that health experts applaud in other contexts.

I dont doubt the sincerity of health officials who assure us that we will not likely see a major Ebola outbreak in the United States. But after the mishandling of the few cases we have had including allowing an infected nurse to travel by air we are close to a crisis of confidence. A few more bungles and we will see significant numbers of people canceling trips, closing schools and staying home from work. The essence of effective public crisis management is bold and aggressive action demonstrating that leaders are in control of events, not reacting in a halting and belated fashion. Targeted visa suspension is one of several steps urgently needed.

Obola is working only one major angle here. He wants uncontrolled borders and he wants the sheeple to think they can't be controlled. He and the filthy Dems need diseased illegal aliens flooding over our southern border. Scumbag.
