200,000 from Ebola countries have U.S. visas
Greatly raising stakes virus could infect Americans
(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) There are about 200,000 Africans from
countries hosting the deadly Ebola virus who hold temporary visas to
visit the United States, greatly raising the stakes it could spread to
America, according to a group following the immigration issue.
“Based on State Department nonimmigrant visa issuance statistics, I estimate that there are about 5,000 people in Guinea, 5,000 people in Sierra Leone, and 3,500 people in Liberia who possess visas to come to the United States today,” said Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Add to that “more than 195,000 Nigerians” with visas to visit, or who could already be here, she said of the country that has seen temporary U.S. visas skyrocket.
