Congressman Paul Broun (R-GA) called on Speaker John Boehner on Monday to reconvene an emergency session of Congress to address the threat of Ebola against the United States.
“This means putting in place a travel ban from regions affected by Ebola– namely, Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, as well as no longer issuing temporary visas for individuals from these countries,” said Broun in a statement.
He continues: “Exceptions should only be allowed for American citizens attempting to leave these affected regions, and for humanitarian workers entering West Africa seeking to combat this deadly disease. Air travel is what brought this virus to the United States, and in order to contain it, we must prevent it from entering our country further.”
