    Great way to get American citizens exposed to Ebola travelling to the US to not inform anybody about it.

    Why should Europe take them? The States has been an ar$e to Europe and esp Ukraine for a whilst.

    The Eu should tell them no.

      Do we want to deal with watching the US having an Ebola outbreak under this administration?

      Have a good think about what that will look like, I could imagine a world where it is unfairly in everyone’s best interest?

        Ukraine is being treated unfairly and the USA don’t seem to care about that…why should other countries keep giving and giving to an administration that lies, causes grief, and tells everyone else to go jump. It’s called give and take. Everyone else in the world is already suffering high prices due to Iran and they consider that acceptable….i could continue.

        I would like to be nicer about it but my patience is thin for abusers. And they will only turn round and bite you afterwards…likely wont even say thanks.

            Americans at large either did, or did not care enough to vote at all. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, like you, but the American people at large are certainly responsible for Trump.

            You have my sympathy for being locked in with those people.

            You think the bombed Iranian schoolgirls give a shit? It’s your country and your president. If you don’t like the way the nation is run, then change it.

    We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States

    … “because we’ve somehow managed to fuck up our health system even more, and our doctors most capable of treating Ebola have left the US to other countries where they are supported in their efforts to save lives while we sit around, tanning our taints and eating roadkill dick”

    FTFY, lil’ Marco.

    ‘If more Americans contract Ebola and need advanced medical care, they will be sent to Europe rather than brought to the U.S.’

    Who would have thought that grind up racoon dick and prayer, is not as advanced as the US health system pretends to be.

    At a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States.”

    If they want to enter the US and if they hold citizenship, I think that that may violate case law that a US citizen may not be denied entry to the US.

    searches

    Some random law firm, but:

    https://www.rnlawgroup.com/the-rights-of-a-u-s-citizen-upon-reentry-into-the-country/

    Central to these protections is the absolute right of a U.S. citizen to return to their country. This right is unequivocal. No matter where an individual has traveled, the duration of their absence, or their personal or legal background, a U.S. citizen cannot be denied entry into the United States. This principle is supported by both statutory and constitutional law. A landmark Supreme Court case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), established that citizenship includes the right to reenter the nation. Unlike lawful permanent residents or visa holders, U.S. citizens are exempt from admissibility criteria. Consequently, even if a U.S. citizen lacks proper documentation or is subject to further questioning, the government is obligated to permit their entry once their citizenship is verified.

    The federal government can hold US citizens in quarantine upon reentry, in the US. There’s certainly precedent there. But I don’t think that it can constitutionally say “you may not enter the US” to a citizen.

    The administration has maintained that shorter flight times to Europe are the reason why Americans who get Ebola will be sent there for care.

    That seems… Plausible. But after the state department told Americans abroad in the middle East to “fend for yourself” when Trump started a war it’s questionable.

    Trump doesn’t get benefit of the doubt.

      Funny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that’s the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

      In what world is intercontinental flight faster than in-house? Even if you start in Atlanta right beside the CDC itself you’ve got to fly roughly the length of usa to reach the coast of Europe lol

        I think the premise is that Ebola cases are currently only in Africa, so if a US citizen catches it, that means they’re already across the Atlantic Ocean and, yes, Europe would be closer.
