Could the ebola crisis evolve into a pretext to lock potentially infected people up in internment camps? (like the Japanese were in WW2)

It strikes me that Ebola (and its potential epidemic danger in the US) might be just the pretext needed to lock up undesirables who have, or might have, Ebola.

It’s a right-wing wet dream. Ebola comes from Africa. What better excuse to lock up immigrants – legal or not? People who have good medical care get taken care of, while others without private insurance go to the camps.

And the NSA and FBI know all about us anyway, so identifying the undesirables and potentially infected becomes pretty simple.

Paranoia? Reality? Time will tell.
