(Judge Clay Jenkins) ...The low risk (click here) individual who was identified by our local team as a contact has been found and is being monitored....
There is a role for all levels of government, but, contact location is a definitely local strategy.
The state level provides financial support and additional personnel to assist local authorities in finding contacts. The federal level has to apply it's agencies in finding treatment.
Every person alive knows there are illegal immigrants coming into the USA everyday. A federal piece of paper that says they can't come in to the USA doesn't stop a darn thing regardless of a border guard at our southern border every few miles and fences. When west African governments tried to quarantine an entire section of cities, the security of law and order was destroyed with violent protests against the government. It won't work.
What will stop Americans from enter the USA after traveling to West Africa? There are already four Americans afflicted with the disease. The idea the flow of people is possible to control is ridiculous. It is false security. This is the worst time to cut social services to the poor, it places them on the street and out of reach to help.
Wasn't Judge Jenkins involved in the compassionate outreach to the children at the border? He is remarkable. He has been fearlessly involved with the family of the West African man currently in treatment.
