CLOSE OUR BORDERS ! - PROTECT AMERICANS ROM DYING FROM EBOLA !

First, we can't. We simply can't as a practical matter. We spend billions on border patrol every year and any given night at anywhere along the Southern Border, through night-vision goggles it looks like the start of the Boston Marathon with ponchos.

Second, it's away too premature for that. Nobody in this hemisphere has tested positive for Ebola - ever. If you wanna make a case for closing the borders to stem the flow of hemhorragic diseases, choose an agent like Dengue or Chagas' disease which are endemic to this hemisphere and can both cause the same symptoms.

Third, if Ebola will come here it'll be through the airports. IR detectors looking for people with fevers at Immigration and Customs would be more practical and less expensive. They did that at the Singapore airport - and subjected anyone in the customs line when somebody had a fever to a mandatory two-week quarantine - during the height of the SARS outbreak and had a 100% success rate. Nobody who got SARS in Singapore got it from anybody who flew there.

Fourth, do you realize the amount of scut-work done by immigrants - legal or otherwise - in this country and just HOW much the price for even basic stuff like food would go up - and how adversely that would affect our already fragile economy? There are better ways and rationales for keeping you safe and secure from reasonably priced lawncare.
