Under an Open Borders mandate from Obama, the CDC has to keep finding increasingly ridiculous reasons for why letting people with Ebola into America is a good idea.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, directorof the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the federal government is looking at different safety-related suggestions from Capitol Hill and beyond, but he suggested the key is to control the deadly virus where it started overseas, not limiting entry to the United States.
“Though we might wish we can seal ourselves off from the world, there are Americans who have the right of return and many other people that have the right to enter this country,” Frieden said at a press conference Saturday. “We’re not going to be able to get to zero risk no matter what we do unless we control the outbreak in West Africa.”
Frieden went on to say that limiting entry at the borders could actually put Americans at greater risk.
“In terms of the entry process, we really need to be clear that we don’t inadvertently increase the risk to people in this country by making it harder for us to respond to the needs in those countries, by making it harder to get assistance in and therefore those outbreaks would become worse, go on longer, and paradoxically, something that we did to try and protect ourselves might actually increase our risk,” Frieden said.
If we don’t let people with Ebola into America, we’ll be endangering Americans. And then Ebola wins. The only way to defeat Ebola is by supplying antibodies to more moderate diseases. Like AIDS. And the Bubonic Plague.
Taking in Americans with Ebola under quarantine is one thing. Taking in anyone else covered by “other people” is another.
Zero risk is a strawman. Since zero risk is never attainable, we should never do anything. Why even have airport security? We can’t achieve zero risk anyway. Same goes for airbags and brakes.
It’s the “seal ourselves off from the world” part that the Open Borders crowd really hates. Quarantine does actually stop disease outbreaks. Open borders spreads disease. But we’re in a new “settled science” phase in which spreading a disease is the way to beat it.
Idiots.
That is idiotic.

The REAL ENEMY IS, like fear, and stuff...!!
Oh..!
And intolerance. Whoops!
I mean,
AND INTOLERANCE...!
I like this idea and I think the CDC chief, all of Congress and the obama crowd should greet every arrival.
Every single government agency is dangerous and corrupt.
If a faux citizen foreign agent bent on destroying the country were somehow elected president, what, exactly, would he do differently than this individual?

Pure madness!!!
Does the Congress have the ability to remove this defective individual from their position?
He’s obviously so twisted by political correctness, he’d kill us all before betraying his insane ideology. (you could say the same of the President as well)
Our government is FULL of these kinds of people!
God help us.....
with the Central American child invasion the worky part of it securing the help drug smuggling organizations in helping the kids northward.
the cool part Bout Ebola is that none of that is necessary:
The driving force for bringing the future voters here is fear, which is FREE.
Where have I heard this before?
Keep working and spending money so the terrorists don’t win
Has anyone informed this idiot that Ebola is not a conscious entity and not an ‘enemy’ that we can out-psych?
What a maroon.
Isn’t that like saying we must let rapists keep raping or the rapists win?
Murderers?
Terrorists?
Have you ever heard anything so foolish?
How can a man at his level with his education utter such nonsense?
Freaking nutcase. Maybe he wants to be considered for the next US syphilis trial.
And just out of curiosity, where the hell is Congress with oversight? I realize Boehner and company have been in "election mode" since 2013, but there may not be ANY elections if an outbreak occurs.
I would prefer that “Ebola wins” over watching many of my countrymen die horrible deaths. This happy ‘RAT turd, Frieden, needs to stick to banning Big Gulps and leave the serious stuff to the grownups.
Ya reckon this guy has got to be the brother to the former
Director of the Secret Service or are they a married brother and sister?
I have never heard such drivel in my life as what he is putting out!!!
