Shutting down the border will not help.
Hasn't yet. Going after the illegals doesn't really help. The only way to actually make a difference is to make the exodus country accountable for their immigrants. You start hitting the country in the pocket and you will be amazed at the results. It would change the whole aspect of the issue. |

Lets say you impose a fine on every illegal individual against the country that spawned them.
You include every cost involved. Start hitting countries with 'damages' and they will change their tactics. How can it hurt? If Mexico is such a bad place to live that people 'want' to leave, make Mexico a country worth staying with. Seems like a pretty good solution from my point of view. Hell, I would think they would pay for the 'wall' just to save face. |

Until they get a handle on it,
Yemen might need to impose a "self quarantine'. At least, for the duration. |

Excuse me, what does the word "deices" mean here?
When I look it up, all Ifind are descriptions of how to get ice off of airplane wings. Anyway, if you are asking what the United States policy approach to an epidemic in another country is, that can be tricky. I take a different (longer) view than many people, because of my background as an historian. I know that there are a few primary reasons why any foreign nation decides to get involved with the INTERNAL concerns of another nation, and that most commonly, the people debating the issue at the time, are only aware of one or two of the actual half dozen possible reasons. A repeating mistake that the United State in particular has made throughout it's existence, has been to put itself through bouts of ISOLATIONISM. That's where a majority view takes hold, that we should just back away from the rest of the world, and let other countries deal with their own problems by themselves. Isolationism is usually based on intense resentment, especially of the cost to Americans of being involved on foreign soil. Monetarily, especially. The thing is, time after time, isolationism leads directly to allowing VERY bad things to happen TO the United States. It was isolationism that led to leaving Afghanistan to the Russians and to the Afghans, that led to the attacks of 9-11. It was isolationism that led to the devastation of World War 1 and World War 2. Isolationism is leading right now, directly to the likely invasion and subjugation of the Ukraine by Russia, as well as similar fates for other Eastern European nations. Right now in the middle east, Russia is maneuvering for controlling influence over as many nations there as it can arrange, with the ultimate goal of interfering with the US' ability to deal with those countries economically in the future. That kind of long range concern, needs to be included in our calculations for what to do about a given situation in Yemen. That doesn't mean that we have to send our troops in to every nation around the world, by any means. But we DO need to think past immediate short term financial and medical concerns, before choosing what actions to take. |
