Those looking for good news on the fight against Ebola will not find much encouragement from Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, the commander of the U.S. Southern Command. As Jim Garamone of Department of Defense News reports, Kelly told an audience at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday that, if the disease reaches Central America, "it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States." He also said with certainty that "there is no way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa."
“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]..
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.

One not even 2 hours old.
And if we spend the trillions it would take to completely seal the southern border,
What is stopping them from coming from the coast?

And so it begins. Europe, especially Eastern Europe is on the list of cluster%@% zones. Once it hits Europe, former Soviet Bloc countries, then it spreads to India, China, South America (All because of trade routes and expats,immigrants) it will inevitably come back in the other direction and hit US and Canada. God help us if it gets into South America, especially the Southern US states.
You thought your border had issues before, wait till the hordes of illegal Mexicans crossing over are Ebola Zombies!

Well I have to ask and don't anyone get me wrong......but what if Ebola went haywire down south and folks started flooding out into US. What would authorities do? Shoot on sight and let the buzzards and wild dogs have the carcasses?
Could this be considered bio-warfare if not simply self preservation?
