Don't Issue Visas

The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan writes good sense about a travel ban on citizens of the three African nations where Ebola is present.

What will help keep people with Ebola from entering the U.S. is denying U.S. travel visas to those from the affected countries.

Some critics, finally, say that a ban won’t work 100%. Let’s posit that. But if it works 78%, or 32%, isn’t it worth it?

The burden is on those who oppose a ban to make a hard, factual, coherent and concrete case. It is telling that so far they have not been able to.

It is unlikely many West Africans will go to Mexico or Canada and sneak across the border.
