There are about 200,000 Africans from countries hosting the deadly Ebola virus who hold temporary visas to visit the United States, greatly raising the stakes it could spread to America, according to a group following the immigration issue.
“Based on State Department nonimmigrant visa issuance statistics, I estimate that there are about 5,000 people in Guinea, 5,000 people in Sierra Leone, and 3,500 people in Liberia who possess visas to come to the United States today,” said Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Add to that “more than 195,000 Nigerians” with visas to visit, or who could already be here, she said of the country that has seen temporary U.S. visas skyrocket...

In light of the current situation, they should not be allowed to travel. Period.

The State Department is the place that can put a hold on those visas

Underneath every seat at the Capital building, there is a plastic pouch for each member of Congress so that in case of any bio-weapon that might be released there, each member can don a hazmat suit and protect themselves.
I saw it myself on a private Capital tour. I opened the pouch.

Have you got the image of John F’n Kerry in his Gumby suit? Every one I can find has been scrubbed from the interweb.

We’re all counting on the Regime’s crack SoS, DHS, etc. to keep this plague from sweeping through the USA.
