Roughly 13,500 people from the Ebola-stricken countries of Sierra Leon, Guinea and Liberia have visas to visit the United States, according to federal data.

You don't suppose they'll get extra scrutiny at the airport, do you? Nah ... we wouldn't want to hurt their feelings by profiling them.
If it were up to me, these visas would be cancelled until they could prove they are not infected. Sorry for the inconvenience folks, but public safety comes before personal convenience.
Update: This morning I listened to a discussion on CNN in which it was stated that closing the borders would place too great an economic burden on Liberia. Boo-Hoo !!! Should that be our chief concern? I don't think so.
