Australia has put a freeze on visas from West Africa in the Ebola infected regions. This of course makes perfect sense for the Aussies, but for some reason we don’t do the same thing here in America.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison announced “strong controls” on arrivals from West African countries affected by cases of the deadly disease.
Too bad we don’t have a Scott Morrison type here.
So does this make Australia racist for putting the freeze on visas from west Africa to try to protect their citizens from Ebola? Do they have any Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton types over there?

Telling Australia’s parliament during a question time session Monday that his ministry was currently “not processing any application from these (Ebola) affected countries,” he said that the government was also suspending its humanitarian program.
He added that holders of permanent Australian visas based in these countries would be subject to a mandatory, three-week quarantine process prior to their departure. Visitors approved to travel to Australia will also face further screening and followup checks upon arrival.
