He said it:

CDC's Frieden on possibility of travel ban: "Right now we know who's coming in." But later says "borders are porous." #EbolaHearing

CDC director Frieden implies that if you impose a travel ban, Ebola-infected people will sneak into the U.S. "Borders can be porous."

— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) October 16, 2014

Well, yeah. That’s part of the problem, no?

Borders can be porous-dr. Frieden (oh, really, you don't say..)

CDC Frieden: "Borders can be porous" No kidding? Somebody call Obama!

Obama cringes=> RT @michellemalkin "Borders can be porous." – @DrFriedenCDC No sh*t Sherlock. #EbolaHearing

Only thing honest I heard so far is "borders can be porous especially in this part of the world" #ebolahearing #secureOurBorder

A follow-up question from Rep. Marsha Blackburn gave Frieden the opportunity to explain what he meant:

Frieden clarifies that he was referring to “porous borders” in Africa after GOP Rep. Blackburn seizes on his comments

— Russell Berman (@russellberman) October 16, 2014

Blackburn asks about Frieden's porous border comment. He says he was referring to the borders of African countries.

— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) October 16, 2014

OK, well, if that’s indeed what he was trying to say … how is it supposed to make us feel better, exactly?

Just got awkward when Ms. Blackburn just pointed out watching foreign porous borders was important but not the ones attached to the U.S.!

Yes – West African porous borders are a problem, but not our porous borders – HOW STUPID IS THAT? #tcot #ebolausa

Rep. John Lewis declares their help for unfettered borders

http://twitter.com/#!/repjohnlewis/status/489136085935874048

Ignore walls? No much more partitions? It is simple to forget side checkpoints? Start our entrances to all or any who wish to come here, including gangbangers, terrorists, and youngster molesters?

Clearly. But offer Rep. Lewis credit for saying their very own views truly. How a great many other both women and men in Congress share his or her opinion but won’t say-so aloud?
