Coronavirus reminds us: Border security is national security
By Lew Jan Olowski
The global coronavirus crisis proves national borders are necessary, and border enforcement works.
A novel coronavirus outbreak from Wuhan, China, has infected tens of thousands, killed at least hundreds, and turned China’s biggest cities into ghost towns as the Chinese government locks down entire regions containing tens of millions of people, and countless millions more quarantine themselves.
The first line of defense against coronavirus is the border. Not just figuratively. Any national border is, by definition, a literal line of defense.
Thus, the United States imposed a travel ban on any foreigner that recently visited China. Otherwise, at least 14,000 people per day would be entering the U.S. via China.
