As the recent Ebola epidemic continues to spread anxiety and fear across the world, a stunning claim has revealed that the Obama administration is allegedly planning to transfer foreigners infected with the disease to the United States for treatment, according to a new report by Judicial Watch.
With calls to place a ban on travelers flying in from Ebola-infected countries intensifying for weeks, these new formulated plans by the U.S. government are sure to cause much backlash and criticism.
On Thursday night, Charles Krauthammer had predicted on Fox News that it would only take "a couple more cases like Mr. Duncan" flying to the United States from West Africa with the deadly disease for the president to back down from his no travel ban position, according to Breitbart.
But it seems like Obama's open door policy is getting much wider with each passing week.
Specifically, the goal of the new development will be to allow non-U.S. citizens infected with Ebola into the U.S. within the first days of diagnosis. This will, perhaps, provide them with a better chance of getting properly treated and eventually recovering.
"It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients," according to the new report. "The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola."
Since the plan poses a huge potential of being deemed illegal, it is apparently being kept confidential, even from the Congress, who will be required to approve of the proposal.
Meanwhile, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Intelligence and Liaison report exclusively obtained by Breitbart Texas, a leaked internal intelligence document has revealed that more than 3,500 passengers traveling from Ebola-affected nations have been allowed to enter the United States without being properly screened since January 1, 2014.
Although the current death toll of nearly 4,500 Ebola victims has largely been centralized in West Africa, a handful of cases have popped up in the United States, Spain, and Germany, with each nation introducing additional screening measures for the virus at their main international airports.
