American Police officers Union Calls for Commercial Flight Ban From Ebola countries



A nationwide group representing airport police officers, including those at Newark Liberty and John F. Kennedy International, is calling for a ban on commercial air travel to the United States from countries battling Ebola outbreaks.
The American Alliance of Airport Police officers is drafting a letter to members of Congress calling for the travel ban, along with a requirement that American medical personnel and Ebola patients traveling from the affected West African countries be flown on military aircraft.
“We’re calling for a restriction on flights from these afflicted countries,” said Bobby Egbert, a spokesman for the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association union, an alliance member organization whose officers patrol Newark Liberty and Kennedy airports.
Newark and JFK are among five airports nationwide singled out by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for enhanced Ebola screening. Federal officials say the five airports are the U.S. points of entry for 94 percent of fliers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where the virus has killed more than 4,000 people.

Rather than post this with the Ebola links, this fits better with the police policy anyway. Perfect to blast the "Open Borders"/"Amnesty" agenda out of the galaxy now and after the Nov. elections:

An unprecedented wave of illegal immigration is washing over America, threatening the fabric of our nation. But the Obama Administration refuses to enforce our immigration laws, resulting in tens of thousands of people illegally entering the US. Now, our new film reveals the full scope of this crisis.

The Border States of America takes viewers from the Rio Grande Valley to towns across the country, telling the story of human smugglers and drug cartels who profit from Obama’s policies; of American citizens whose lives are put at risk; and the social and economic toll on our communities. We cut through the fog to bring you the truth about what is really happening with the border crisis.

Television and film star Nick Searcy has come on board to narrate The Border States of America. He is an accomplished actor, director, and producer with a career spanning more than 30 years in cinema, television, and on the stage. With dozens of starring and supporting roles across a wide range of feature films and TV shows under his belt, we couldn't be more excited to have him help tell this story.
