A Marine Corps general is warning that if Ebola hits any of the countries south of our border we should expect to be swamped with people fleeing the killer virus.
Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, the commander of the U.S. Southern Command, recently warned an audience that we will find a major problem if Ebola hits Central or South America or Mexico. It will cause millions to flee northward in fear and they will surely bring Ebola and every other disease with them.
Jeryl Bier has the quotes…
“By the end of the year, there’s supposed to be 1.4 million people infected with Ebola and 62 percent of them dying, according to the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]…”
“So, much like West Africa, it will rage for a period of time,” Kelly said.
This is particularly possible scenario if the disease gets to Haiti or Central America, he said. If the disease gets to countries like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador, it will cause a panic and people will flee the region, the general said.
“If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States,” Kelly said. “They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.”
Does Obama have an emergency plan to rush troops to the border to stop this possible influx? If he doesn’t he is setting up a situation where perhaps thousands of Americans will die.
Does he care? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
