it spread like crazy due to poor hygiene and improper body disposal.
Our border issue is a MAJOR problem and needs to be addressed.
But anyone trying to somehow connect the US/MEX border issue with the spread of Ebola is just being a wound up drama queen. Not downplaying either issue - but West (and others) suddenly screaming about the border because of Ebola - that's just political piggybacking.
The border issue was just as important today as it was last week. But attributing some new urgency because of Ebola, that's just insulting the listener.
To destroy the NYT point -
One could argue it's WAY easier to drive a 2013 Cadillac across nice roads on our border, than to somehow magically become sick then wander down dirt roads on a donkey and spread ebola over there. The travel capacity here is WAY bigger. The disease isn't blowing up over there due to a lack of a border fence lol, it's because they're touching the affected dead, then rubbing their eyes. brutal insulting the intelligence of agitated readers.
Lock that US border down, but don't tell people it's because of Ebola lol.
