State Department: Hey let's bring infected non-citizens to the US for Ebola treatment!

We've seen multiple polls indicating that Americans overwhelmingly support travel bans which would apply to people entering the U.S. from Ebola hot-zone countries. Yesterday, Australia became the first major western nation to enact such regulations, so people are wondering why we're not considering the same thing. The answer is obvious.

We're not enacting a ban, because - according to a newly leaked State Department memo - we're considering doing the exact opposite. Having solved all of the nation's other problems, the Obama administration is considering adding a few more - by bringing infected foreigners into the United States for treatment. Here is the salient part of the document: State Department: Hey let's bring infected non-citizens to the US for Ebola treatment! The memo, which is marked "SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED," was first published by Fox News. Bret Baier's report appears below.

It would appear that the administration has wisely spotted the United States' current shortage of domestic Ebola patients - after all, we've only got one person currently undergoing treatment - and is looking to do something about it. Importing infected foreigners seems to be the perfect solution, don't you think? How much would you like to bet that this totally hypothetical "predecisional" course of action goes into effect shortly after Election Day?
