Make no mistake that Congress, and only Congress, has the power to “regulate commerce “with foreign Nations” [Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3].

From available information I have gathered it is only too clear that an infected person traveling to the United States in an airplane or ship can transmit and infect other passengers by sneezing or coughing or physically coming in contact with them.

SEE:Droplets from coughs and sneezes travel farther than you think

"It is common knowledge that when we cough or sneeze, we should cover our mouth and nose with a tissue to prevent germs from becoming airborne. Now, new research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests this instruction is more important than ever; they found that droplets from coughs or sneezes can travel up to 200 times farther than previously thought."

Also see: Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing?

”Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.”


So, the Ebola virus can be transmitted by an infected person coughing or sneezing while in transit to the United States in an airplane or ship. And it also seems quite clear that contaminated particulate matter from a cough or sneeze can travel a considerable distance through the air, much farther than originally thought, and if it lands on a non-infected person’s eyes, mouth, or is breathed in, that person may become infected.

It is also important to note that Some Ebola experts worry virus may spread more easily than assumed

Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC's most far-reaching study of Ebola's transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.

"We just don't have the data to exclude it," said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston.


Now, with all this information available which establishes people traveling to the United States who are carriers of the Ebola virus present a clear and present danger to America's population, why has the Republican controlled House failed to pass legislation which is designed to protect America’s population from foreign commerce? And, this same question applies to the Democrat controlled Senate!

When will the America People realize we have a Muslim terrorist enabler in the Whitehouse? Will the American People come to this conclusion when terrorist activities begin in our southern Border States or cities like New York City?
 
This has nothing to do with "regulating commerce"...semantic distortions don't help your case.

This is about a rapidly spreading third world disease with no cure that is now in america.

Is obama the president?
 
Where is Congress when we need them, gone as usual.??.Damn House always neglecting their job, just to run for office, campaigning when the country is in crisis...I can see why their approval rating is soo low...
 
Well it was only a matter of time before they blamed Republicans, Remember when it first hit here it was Rick Perry's fault

I swear that Obama, there is nothing ever his fault. EVEN after SIX FIKKEN YEARS

I see you too have missed the following:

Unlike the blind who support a political party, I support our Constitution and expect those who we elect to do their constitutionally assigned duties!

The Obama Administration is employing the same cowardly tactics used by the Hamas. It hides behind woman and children while flooding our country with the poverty stricken, disease carrying populations of other countries!

And what constitutionally delegated power does the president have to deal with the Ebola virus coming in at our ports of entry?

Even if one stopped direct flights from certain countries, it would be nothing at all for an infected person to fly to a country that wasn't on the list and board a plane for America.

He can order an embargo of those Countries, he can order that INS no longer accept people from that Country so long as the virus is active. The President chose to eliminate the very procedures required to prevent it's spread. He controls the executive departments which control who enters and comes in our Country.

How can Congress - realistically - prevent the spreading of Ebola?

While ebola is knocking on our door and our borders are open and ISIS is advancing despite air strikes, guess what the Secretary of State is worried about? That's right, global warming.

LMAO..suddenly you want the president to adhere to the constitution? the irony is thick.
but ok...he can use his "pen" and his "phone" to secure our borders. He likes to do it when it suits his purposes.

Part of his job is to protect the country from illegals infiltrating and bringing third world diseases into this nation.
 
Stopping air travel to and from those countries would be a start but the southern border is wide open. So is the border with Canada. Less so of course but still very porous.
 
Get real, if there was such a bill, the pond scum Democrat Senate wouldn't bring it up, like the other 350+ PASSED HOUSE BILLS waiting for action on Harry Reid's desk! The Black Manchurian muslim will not allow COMMON SENSE to prevail!

You have never traveled internationally, have you?
You don't even have a passport, do you?
travelers can be traced from embarkation to final destination..Don't kid yourself.
