As Thomas Friedman says in his recent Op-Ed column in the New York Times:
"The United States is swamped by refugee children from collapsing Central American countries; efforts to contain the major Ebola outbreak in West Africa are straining governments there; jihadists have carved out a bloodthirsty caliphate inside Iraq and Syria; after having already eaten Crimea, Russia keeps taking more bites out of Ukraine; and the U.N.’s refugee agency just announced that “the number of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people worldwide has, for the first time in the post-World War II era, exceeded 50 million people.” If it feels as though the world of disorder is expanding against the world of order, it’s not your imagination. There’s an unfortunate logic to it."

ReplyDeleteWith the Eboli virus spreading, it is dangerous to allow people from ill countries into our own country. Helping these children is not a bad thing, but they come at a risk to us. We should worry about securing our own country before helping another.
ReplyDeleteWe can't be absolute 100% sure on securing the country... For instance, what if our own residents travel to other infected areas for holidays maybe to visit family and friends. Are we going to accept them back or just leave the there for security reasons?
ReplyDeleteWhile I believe that the Ebola virus is an important topic in current events, I think that it is important to sort out other problems first, such as the crisis in the Ukraine and the jihadist movement with IS so that the world may combat this problem as a more organized force so that they may more efficiently eradicate this disease.
