Last week, during the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Awards Gala, Obama is famously (or infamously for many) quoted as saying by the Weekly Standard  during his speech to “immigration activists” :

  “No force on Earth can stop us. “The clearest path to change is to change [the voter turnout] number,” said Obama “Si se puede, si votamos! Yes, we can, if we vote!”

To which “force” could Obama be referring to? We already know he apparently isn’t bothered by the “force” of legal US citizens who are largely opposed to illegal immigration and unsecured borders as reflected in a recent Rasmussen Report survey:

“A significant majority of Americans say that incoming illegal immigrants should not be given the same legal rights or government benefits as U.S. citizens have, a new poll has found.”

He also doesn’t appear at all deterred from his epic quest to fundamentally change America by the cornucopia of third world diseases being allowed to cross our southern border. As reported by National Review Online:

“In a whistleblower disclosure document obtained by National Review Online, the agent alleges that the federal government knowingly transported illegal immigrants to facilities that were unequipped to process them; disregarded repeated warnings from a Border Patrol agent about the public-health risks posed by the immigrants, many of whom were suffering from infectious diseases; rejected multiple offers of assistance from local officials; and suspended law-enforcement operations at part of America’s southern border while denying a congressman’s repeated requests for information about the government’s plan to process the immigrants and about the startling events unfolding in his district.

“The whistleblower disclosure was filed by Border Patrol agent Ron Zermeno, the health and safety director of National Border Patrol Council Local 1613. Zermeno writes in the disclosure about how, as early as May of 2014, when he learned of the government’s plan to relocate the immigrants, he began raising the alarm, reaching out to Border Patrol management, local officials, and a congressman. He gained no ground with these warnings, he says. He also spoke with NRO and other media about his concerns but was disciplined — for the first time in his decades-long career — for allegedly exposing sensitive law-enforcement information to the press. Zermeno declined to comment for this story.”

It certainly isn’t the Ebola situation here in the US and abroad. Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is quite outspoken in this interview with Chris Wallace when he is asked why we shouldn’t restrict flights or close US borders to African countries infested with Ebola. From CSN News:

“Chris Wallace of Fox News asked Fauci: “British Airlines have suspended all flights to and from the infected areas of Africa. Should the U.S. do the same? And should we impose a visa ban on anybody coming from these three countries in Africa?”

“No, in my opinion absolutely not,” Fauci responded. “Because when you start closing off countries like that, there’s a real danger of making things worse. You isolate them. You can cause unrest in the country. It’s conceivable that governments could fall if you isolate them completely.

Fauci said suspending flights would make it difficult to get supplies to West Africa. “They need help. They need equipment and they need health care workers to come in,” he said.”

But it’s possible to fly equipment in without flying passengers out, Wallace told Fauci.

“That’s true,” Fauci conceded. “But experience is, when you close such a country, you create such stress and fear and amplify the problem. So, I think any health care person will agree with me that that’s not a good idea to completely block off the country.”

Am I understanding this correctly? This administration and its health advisors are more concerned with the stress and fear being “amplified” in those countries rather than the one they are citizens of? Obviously, there is something more in play here.

Which leads us to the current health crisis regarding Ebola and the effusive assurances the Obama administration and the CDC have the best interests of American citizens at heart. This from FoxNews:

“President Obama announced Monday, after meeting with top health and security officials about the Ebola outbreak in Africa, that the U.S. government is preparing additional measures to screen passengers in the U.S. and overseas as part of the expanding effort to contain the virus.

“We’re … going to be working on protocols to do additional passenger screening both at the source and here in the United States,” the president said.

“Obama did not specify what exactly those measures would be.”

By all sensible deductions, it would seem refusing to restrict flights from Ebola infested countries, and refusing to secure our southern border from similar threats, has something in common.  After all, I imagine a certain politically undesirable precedence would be set if you’re willing to show you can secure borders to certain countries, but unwilling to do the same with others. However, no worries my fellow Americans, as I’m sure we can completely trust this administration and its decisions regarding the safety of our people. Barrack Obama, in an article at Breitbart, is expressing  “confidence” and is setting up “protocols”.

I think we should all calm down and realize the Obama administration has this all under control.
