Now the American people have to worry about Ebola coming across the Southern border. Over 100 illegal immigrants from an area of the world dealing with what may turn out to be the worst outbreak ever of Zaire Ebolavirus, which has a 90% death rate, were apprehended wading through the Rio Grande River the other day.
In March the World Health Organization reported that an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo became the second largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, with 1600 confirmed and probable cases leading to 1069 deaths.
A press release from the Border and Customs Protection Agency stated, “U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Station apprehended a large group of 116 individuals Thursday. This is the first large group apprehended in the Del Rio Sector and the first large group of people from Africa – including nationals from Angola, Cameroon and Congo – apprehended on the Southwest border this year.”
According to Chief Raul Ortiz, “Large groups present a unique challenge for the men and women of the Del Rio Sector. This large group from Africa further demonstrates the complexity and severity of the border security and humanitarian crisis at our Southwest border.”
