The problem will be solved if America allows more Congolese to emigrate here.

The *obvious* solution is to allow unlimited immigration from the Congo to the USA and then get them all jobs in our restaurants.

Oh wait.. can't do that. Illegal Mexicans with incurable TB and Leprosy already have those jobs.

Just in time for Rahm Emanuel's visit. Gee, I wonder when the following headline will show up:

Kenya, Congo work together to quarantine Ebola victims, Obama family

You never know when a fuel-air explosion will be required to sterilize, or quiet, a troublesome village.
