Judicial Watch: Obama Plans to Transfer Ebola-infected Foreigners to U.S. for Treatment

Thursday night on Fox News, Charles Krauthammer predicted that it would only take “a couple more cases like Mr. Duncan” flying to the United States from West Africa with Ebola for the president to back down from his no travel ban position. 

But if Judicial Watch’s sources are correct, Obama‘s open door policy for people coming from Ebola infected countries, may creak open a little wider to allow the transfer of non-US citizens infected with the disease into the country for treatment.

It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients.  The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola.

The plan – which may not even be legal – has been kept from Congress even though it should require the approval of Congress.
