White House Says Travel Ban Would ‘Impede’ Efforts to Fight Ebola in Africa | TheBlaze.com

White House Says Travel Ban Would ‘Impede’ Efforts to Fight Ebola in Africa | TheBlaze.com:

"A top White House official said Friday that imposing a travel ban on flights between the United States and Ebola-ravaged nations in West Africa would only impede efforts to fight the virus, the latest sign that the Obama administration is not taking the advice of some in Congress who are demanding travel restrictions.
Lisa Monaco, assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, told reporters at the White House that officials don’t favor a travel ban, even though at least one person has traveled back to the U.S. with the virus."
