Flights to the United States with Afghan refugees recently were grounded for at least a week at the request of the Centers for Disease Control because of an outbreak of measles in previous arrivals to the United States.

The refugees were admitted by the Biden Administration without the normal medical screening that accompanies refugees from undeveloped nations.

Fox News reported that Fort McCoy Army Base in Wisconsin and several other military bases were slowly processing Afghan refugees but they apparently didn’t detect the measles outbreak.

Health officials are trying to trace the origins of the disease. CDC states that Afghanistan has the seventh highest number of measle cases in the world.

Meanwhile, as Afghans enter the United States with measles, the White House is discussing plans to vaccinate refugees for the Chinese coronavirus while they are still overseas. For decades, it has been customary to quarantine any non-citizens who have infectious diseases which are uncovered as soon as they arrive in the United States.

But the Biden Administration so mishandled the surrender and subsequent partial evacuation of Afghanistan that normal procedures were not in place.

And Biden’s open policy on America’s southern border has led to the illegal entry of aliens who are infected with the coronavirus because of Biden’s “catch and release” orders.

America has always welcomed a manageable number of refugees who were screened and cleared before they were released into our nation.

Biden and his cronies are too incompetent to keep up this dangerous practice and it could cost some American lives.
