My church has a few missionary Doctors working the Ebola crisis. We would rather stop it over there. They're doing a heck of a mission. IMHO we can't send them over without a way to support them and bring them home.
I didn't say they shouldn't be allowed back in the country. With waiting times put in place there is still a way to support them and bring them home. I admire those who want to go and help, but their willingness to volunteer should not be allowed to jeopardize the health of those who do not want to put themselves at risk of dying from Ebola. As for those are coming from Central America? I believe you're supposed to have a passport when crossing international borders, so there's that option. If you made it known that you're not going to get in after having been in a heavily infected country in the recent past and actually enforced it you would not have too many people making the trip only to be turned around.


And at the very least we could put a stop to granting visas to non-citizens from west African countries. Why has this not been done?
