It's also common sense. The best way to avoid infection is to lessen the chance of exposure and the best path for that is to not allow people from the heavily infected areas into the country in the first place.
We're currently looking at a 70-ish% mortality rate and the CDC is projecting over a million people in West Africa will be infected by the end of the year.
Other than qualified medical personnel, there should be no travel into nor out of West Africa from the US. And even then those individuals need to be extensively tested and quarantined for 48 hours before allowed into the general populace. We need to get a handle on this before it gets any worse (and it can get worse), allowing more freedom of travel from the heavily infected areas is the exact opposite of that.
