This should be on the sub-normal IQ test.

You want to leave corrupt, impoverished, disease-infested Country L, and go to the land of milk and government assistance, let's call it Country A.

Before being allowed to depart, Country L's immigration officials ask you if you have had any recent contact with a person infected with a deadly, highly contagious disease.

Unbeknownst to them, you knowingly helped carry an infected pregnant woman around a few days before.

Clearly, if you respond with a truthful answer, you will be required to stay there until you likely die, or will have to pay a large bribe.

Do you a) admit your contact and stay, or b) lie and fly to Country A, where you can infect your fellow travellers, people at the airports you stop at, and your friends and family once you arrive, but have access to a world class medical facility for your care?

Note: We should have already stopped allowing flights from, or connecting from West Africa, and people who have been in a nation with an ebola problem, for the duration of this outbreak.

The Obama Adminstration has repeatedly refused to close the door.

Why?
