The average mind may seize up like a motor without oil when faced with some of the insanely stupid policies put forward by the administration. The most expensive and nonsensical in a while is the proposal to bring highly infective Ebola patients from Africa to be treated in the United States. It’s actually against the law to grant a visa to an infectious non-citizen into the country, but the administration is unconcerned with protecting America’s public health.

You really cannot make this stuff up: there’s a deadly plague, so let’s bring it to America.

In the Fox News clip following, reporter Adam Housley remarked about the high level of officials who are planning to import Ebola:

This State Department memo has seen by Nancy Powell, the ambassador to India. She is leading Ebola coalition for the Department of State. Also seen potentially by Pat Kennedy Undersecretary for Management you might remember the name from some of the Benghazi decision that were made. It’s basically been cleared by the highest levels of the State Department. So when we hear in briefings that there has been no plan as far as the State Department knows they may not be telling the truth or may not be communicating with each other. This apparently has been seen at some of the highest levels.

Also in the video, former UN Ambassador John Bolton remarked, “This is about the worst idea dealing with Ebola I can think of.” Greta van Susteren found the proposed policy “so profoundly stupid.”

What was the point of sending US troops to Africa to build medical facilities if the crazed politicians in Washington planned to grab patients and bring them to the US for treatment? The soldiers are being endangered for foolish political do-goodery and will have to be quarantined upon their return. Why is this America’s job anyway? Where is the United Nations?

Americans are not confident about how the government is handling the ebola crisis. An Associated Press-GfK poll from last week found plenty of mistrust. For example, only one in five approve of the CDC’s work on the disease.

And apart from the danger of spreading disease, what about the cost to taxpayers at a time when healthcare for Americans is becoming more expensive and harder to find? Ebola Tom Duncan (pictured) cost the taxpayers $500,000 for nine days of intense medical care.

What’s the plan here? Some of the talk has been about NGO people, medics — that sort — being the persons to be rescued, but not including the poorest Africans will bring charges of racism, so lots of them will have to be part of the mix.

Will the Africans who recover be allowed to remain as immigrants? Will there be an Ebola Visa, courtesy of President Obama?
