With the arrival of approximately two million people from around the world in Saudi Arabia for the annual hajj pilgrimage, there are a group of pilgrims who were not welcomed.
The Saudi government has banned the entry of travelers from three countries currently dealing with the Ebola epidemic: Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The decision to reject visa requests from these countries has affected 7,400 people, according to the Associated Press.
Hospitals in Saudi Arabia are also preparing in the event of an outbreak by setting up isolation and surgery units as well as dispatching medical staff to airports.
Despite banning pilgrim seekers from West Africa, Saudi officials are granting visas to pilgrims travelling from Nigeria. Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz International Airport has provided them with two exclusive lounges as a precaution.

No problem. Come to America where pig fuckers rule. J
You know how they know exactly how many people are affected by this? Those 7400 people are the ones from those countries who’ve already coughed up cash to the officially sanctioned ticket scalping houses and paid the bribes already. Bet they don’t get that back.
I just received approval for the beer concession. This is not good for biz.
Why can’t we do the same thing as the Saudis and just ban anyone from anyplace in Africa who has Ebola from entering our country? Oh, I forgot political correctness rules! We’re screwed but the Saudis get a pass because they actually believe they can ban people with infectious diseases like Ebola. It’s time to bring back the way we used to do things at Ellis Island when refugees and immigrants came to America, if you’re sick you’re quarantined and don’t get into the country ever. We send their sorry asses back to whatever 3rd shithole they came from.
