VIRAL SUICIDE: Obama DHS Now EXPEDITING Visa Requests From Ebola-Infected Countries - UPDATE - STORY IS INACCURATE - READ UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF PAGE

NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON

Wondering how Thomas Eric Duncan was able to enter the U.S. while suffering from Ebola? He asked for a visa and received one in August.

 In fact, the Department of Homeland Security is proudly advertising its "Ebola Outbreak-related Immigration Relief Measures to Nationals of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone Currently in the United States."

 You read that right. Not only are the Obama Democrats leaving our doors wide open to those seeking entry from Ebola-infected countries, they're actually expediting visa requests!


Go Read the Whole Thing.

Update
The inimitable Thomas Lifson notes that the notice "ONLY applies to nationals currently in the USA. IOW, no new arrivals. Mainly, I think to avoid kicking out people and forcing them to return to the hot zone."
Thanking him for his note, I responded that: "...the problem with this notice is that there is no cutoff date. In other words, if I make it into the U.S. today, then I presumably still qualify."
Consider the notice: it doesn't say "...in the United States as of 16 August 2014..."; no, if you make it into the U.S., you can apply for an extended stay and see your request expedited. Perfect, just perfect.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS SETTING UP ANOTHER "RUN FOR THE BORDER" SITUATION LIKE WE HAVE HAD HEAR OUR ON SOUTHERN BORDER OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

Belizean: Belize confirms patient with Ebola symptoms on cruise ship off it’s coast

Quote: "The GoB reassures the public that the passenger never set foot in Belize and while we remain in close contact with U.S. officials we have maintained the position that when even the smallest doubt remains, we will ensure the health and safety of the Belizean people."

******
This is something the current CDC would never say. It is absolutely criminal!
We're all familiar with these ships experience with norovirus sweeping rapidly through to the passengers. Imagine how anxious all the people on that ship are now.

When surviving Ebola becomes a nightmare
When Jerald Dennis left the Ebola treatment center after surviving the deadly virus that has claimed the lives of more than 2,000 of his fellow Liberians, he thought the worst was over.

He was wrong.

Dennis, a 30-year-old non-medical worker at John F. Kennedy Medical Hospital (JFK), Liberia's largest referral hospital, fell prey to the Ebola virus in early September.

"I probably contracted the virus through indirect contact, because you can get it through direct or indirect contact," he told Anadolu Agency in an interview in his home in Monrovia's Matadi district.

Dennis recalled how he began feeling burns on his hands before things became worse, as he experienced severe pain in his head and other parts of his body, later suffering from diarrhea and vomiting as well.

One more coincidental link to the USCIS DHS Visa issue:

Law Office of Edward W. Neufville offering several legal options to nationals of those countries:
1. Extentions & change of nonimmigrant status
2. Extention of certain grants of parole made by the USCIS
3. Epedited adjudication and approval of requests for off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students
4. Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives (currently in the US) of US citizens
5. Expedited processing of immigrant pettitions for immediate relatives (currently in the US) of lawful permanent resients whose priority dates are current.
6. Expedited adjudication of employment authorization applications
7. Consideration for waiver of fees associated with USCIS benefits applications
8. Abandonment or Failure to Respond to a Request for Evidence
9. General Expedited Processing

The fiscal costs and nation's safety of any political policy are things that every nation needs to consider. Apparently, those leading the United States today have discard that realities.

Meanwhile, the Ebola Virus operates in the real world.

Local news here in the D.C. news right now: somebody who had been to the Ebola Hot Zone in Africa is sick in the Pentagon. I'm not sure what's going on over there right now, but the South Parking Lot is closed.

They're not expediting visa requests, they're expediting extension requests from those already in the United States.

Expediting visa request would be to expedite an application from Sierra Leone etc when a person applies at the embassy there. That would literally mean that the Obama admin is trying to flood the US with infected people from those countries.

However, this is not that at all. This only applies to folks already in the United States.

The only problem though is that those who do make it into the US get to stay for as long as they want and since there is no travel ban from infected countries, that means infected people get to stay too. That is a problem.

However, unlike what the article is trying to propose this does not, in anyway, expedite the application process.

Good point. I went back and re-read it.

And I found this update at Director Blue:


Update: The inimitable Thomas Lifson notes that the notice "ONLY applies to nationals currently in the USA. IOW, no new arrivals. Mainly, I think to avoid kicking out people and forcing them to return to the hot zone."

Thanking him for his note, I responded that: "...the problem with this notice is that there is no cutoff date. In other words, if I make it into the U.S. today, then I presumably still qualify."

Consider the notice: it doesn't say "...in the United States as of 16 August 2014..."; no, if you make it into the U.S., you can apply for an extended stay and see your request expedited. Perfect, just perfect.

Nicoenarg said...

Yeah I get that part. The heading and his article however says that this is for visa applications. Asking for extensions and status change is not a visa application. Perhaps this misunderstanding is from the fact that the writer hasn't had to much apply for visas but there is no indication of "Not only are the Obama Democrats leaving our doors wide open to those seeking entry from Ebola-infected countries, they're actually expediting visa requests!"

The fact that there is no "cutoff date" has nothing to do with whether applications in embassies are getting expedited or not.

Just went over to the article again and there's a comment from Old 1811 who says "Temporary Protected Status is temporary. By law, it can be implemented for up to, but no more than, two years. It can be extended if the conditions in the alien's country continue to be dangerous.
This is all boilerplate language. The same announcement has been promulgated dozens of times in the twenty-plus years it's been part of the law. The wording is always the same; all they do is change the name of the affected country. Most or all of the things you are objecting to have been addressed for years.
The incompetence shown by this administration in handling this is disgraceful. But this is not anything to worry about."


Here's an example of temporary protected status for Haitians http://www.uscis.gov/news/temporary-protected-status-extended-haitians-0

The language isn't bulletpointed but its pretty similar.

This move to keep people from ebola affected countries in the US may be stupid but it isn't out of the ordinary.

"Go read the whole thing" . . .yes, the comments to Doug's post are very helpful in clearing up the, as Alec Rawls of ErrorTheory put it -"ambiguities" - of this order.

Pastorius said...

You write - The fact that there is no "cutoff date" has nothing to do with whether applications in embassies are getting expedited or not.

I respond - that's not the point. the point is that this sets up another situation like our border situation, where Obama left open the idea of people receiving amnesty, so everyone who could crowd in did.

And obviously they already have reason enough to come because they want to get out of the whole ebola pestilence thing.

NICO,
In your second comment, you say, "It isn't out of the ordinary."

Maybe, but we're dealing with an extraordinary situation here. The ordinary will bring about disaster.

This policy is a disaster in the making.

You agree, right?
