Diseased Notions of Tolerance

Though there are plenty of anecdotes that are meant to pull on the heart-strings, it becomes an objective ridiculous proposition to allow those with terminal diseases to immigrate to the United States. The prohibition against those with AIDS, leprosy and other ailments from entering the country has recently been lifted by the Democrat Congress, assuredly under the guise of "tolerance" and "respecting the rights of others." Now, of course, our disgraceful President even endorsed this idea when he signed it into law, but let's not forget what this will unquestionably mean: more diseased Americans contracting an illness because the government doesn't want to be seen as "intolerant" towards people who aren't even citizens! The nation-state may be on the wane, but the interests of Americans ought to be put before those of prospective Americans. Why shell out huge chunks of foreign aid to Africa to those with AIDS when we can just open the border and let them all come here! The government should be taking steps to use immigration to reduce disease, not promote it, and not bring in people who will further strain our health care system.
