Unreal: With Ebola Crisis Raging, Obama Administration Started Streamlining Visas From West Africa in August

Not only is the Ebola crisis continuing to degrade, but the optics of how the White House has handled the situation are getting worse by the day too.

A new report published at Breitbart shows the Obama administration started expediting visas from West Africa in August as the Ebola was (and still is) raging out of control with a 70 percent mortality rate. According to the report, the man who died from Ebola in a Texas hospital after visiting Liberia, had his visa approved in the same month visas were being streamlined.
In short, the USCIS has been waiving fees, expediting the immigration process, and allowing extensions of visas for anyone coming from the three designated Ebola-stricken countries, provided that they are in the United States. The Free Republic blog reported that the law firm of Edward W. Neufville, III, LLC, a Washington, D.C. area immigration firm, added a section to their website two days after the USCIS announcement, with more details about how these relief measures would work, including extensions of the time that the foreign national could remain in the United States, additional work permit opportunities, and even forgiveness for failure to appear at required interviews or submit required evidence. According to the Neufville firm, the new USCIS policies mean that "[i]ndividuals from Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea currently in the United States may apply for an extension or change in status due to the Ebola Outbreak, even if their request is filed after the authorized period of admission has expired." Otherwise stated, this means that someone from one of those countries who illegally overstayed their visa can now apply for an extension, or someone who arrived illegally can apply to get legal status.

Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died from Ebola earlier this month, had traveled to the United States after his visa was approved in August, the same month that USCIS announced the new relief measures.

  1. Pardon the expression, but Ebola is the Prez's wet dream come true...let the crisis explode, then he can impose martial law. I have always felt that he is somehow going to try to get round having to leave after his second term...maybe this would be his first step...

  3. Every single democrat needs to go 6:53 from the federal on down to the local levels. They are all responsible for this. They either helped or sat back and said nothing while this devil was and is doing his work. The are equally as responsible.
    I saw video of Nurse #1 just before she left TX to come to NIH and it was heartbreaking. The dislike I had for the democrats has turned to pure hatred for them after seeing that poor girl who should NOT be in the situation she finds herself in now.
    If any local democrat SOB dares to come up to me while campaigning I am going to turn my back on them, just like they have turned their backs on us, by ignoring and not speaking out about the incompetency of the Obama administration.

  4. Obama went from an incompetent to a treasonous bastard in his very first year, but your country was so relieved to get rid of Bush (another murderous bastard), that they didn't notice it.

    Your country has not had a real president since JFK. All of them went from bad to worse, to worst of all, the Kenyan who isn't really an American, but a plant inserted into the office to destroy the country.
