Fox: Memo Shows State Dept. Wants to Send African Ebola Patients Here (Mediaite)

Fox News obtained a State Department memo today that reportedly details a plan to bring Ebola patients from Africa into the United States for treatment. Last night Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte claimed there was “increasing evidence” that the White House has been making such plans, before anything was actually confirmed.

According to Fox correspondent Mike Emanuel, this internal memo they obtained was marked sensitive but unclassified, and goes over a proposal to determine whether the U.S. should accept non-citizens for Ebola treatment.

And what they recommend is that there should be medical evacuation for eligible non-citizens, and the State Department is working with Homeland Security on a system to expedite such a process.
