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.

Some random law firm, but:

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.

You heard the man - you want to escape the reach of the US and get good, affordable national healthcare? Catch ebola.

A country that blocks re-entry to you just because you're sick is not you country. It's insane how these people still consider themselves US citizens.

They are afraid of getting infected? In "Measles Parties are Natural Immunisation" country? Or do they acknowledge that they are not up to par for serious medical issues?

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.

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

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.

USA can't even treat ebola patients. Sad.

How bad is ebola? Can we stay in Europe?

Great, more US refugees

Got ebola, but didn't go bankrupt. Bargain!

Hey Europe, how does it feel being America's bitch ?

Is this about transport distance, or an admission about the state of dismantling the CDC? :o

I trust they will be cared for.

Thanks Obama. That's all your fault.

Americans are sheep's🐑🐑🐑

Does that mean their medical care is free?
