If you believe we are concerned with the health of the world why does the U.N. call for population control, they are obsessed with it. I suspect we'll send more tainted vaccines over to the poor countries perhaps filled with race specific bioweapons.

We should not allow people with AIDS/HIV into this country to infect even more people.
Especially considering it was one illegal immigrant that probably started it in the USA in 1979 in NY NY.
Unlike TB or malaria you can't take medicine to cure you or anyone you come into contact.
It is deadly and very costly in the later stages to keep a person alive. We do not need anymore AIDS/HIV carriers in the USA!
This is a national security issue and one of common sense. They can come in, infect people and leave. Then years after they are gone, you can find out they infected dozens of people a piece and maybe even the blood supply.

I agree with John, if you have a communicable disease - stay out -and our borders must be secure against carriers as wello as terrorists.
