We owe it to our children to do our best to protect them.

Porous borders and disease

We face a new moral dilemma that will have the potential to put our children and grandchildren in extreme danger.

On one hand we are accepting into our country children and young adults who have no medical records, no proof of immunization, and who undergo medical screening only after they are within our borders. On the other hand we have 2 medical aid workers known to be infected with Ebola, for which there is no known cure, seeking to come home to the United States. What will we do? I'm glad I don't have to make that call. We do need to have the conversation. There is too much riding on how we handle the danger of deadly and highly contagious diseases and on our policy of screening people. We owe it to our children to do our best to protect them. The reality is porous borders make it easier for diseases to sneak through. Arnold Avery
