honestly, don't bother with his moronic posts....

my point about removing restrictions for AIDS infected people coming to the U.S. has to do with the yet again unrealistic financial burden placed upon the taxpayer to fund their treatment...

btw, the majority of AIDS victims in africa are hetero and the incentive for those infected to get to the u.s. for treatment will be huge....(oh wait, i'm sure *that* particular statement makes me racist...i guess you can't win when discussion of a highly politicized illness like HIV infection comes to the fore, you're either a homophobe or a racist if you object to paying for medical treatment of non-citizens)

the point here is that if this country continues to hold out the carrot of free medical care for non-citizens, we should not be surprised we get an influx of very sick people seeking medical care, adding billions to our already unsustainable health care tab

if we didn't have the system in place where either legal or illegal immigrants didn't have access to unfunded medical treatment, i wouldn't care whether we had a restriction on HIV infected were allowed to enter
