[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We shouldn’t have illegal immigration because it’s illegal. Our country is based on the rule of law. Don’t do illegal stuff. This goes for Trump as well. I’m opposed to law-breaking. It’s unfair to everyone else and causes disorder and chaos.

I’m fine with lots of high-quality immigrants who are smart and hard-working and can support themselves and their family and love America, as long as it’s through legal channels. [/quote]

If we do need people to fill jobs, then open up visas (not the abuse of HxB that we currently have going on). So truly has to be based on need. I grew up with 1st Gen kids who didn't speak English in the home. They all had homes (small) or an apartment and a car. 
Nobody was living crammed into an apartment with other families, etc. with kids unsupervised because they had work around the clock.

And yes, people need to be screened for illnesses like Aids, etc before they are allowed in so they don't become public charges.[/quote]

If they are working and here legally, they would be getting health insurance just like anyone else. HIV screening really would not matter in public burden anymore than anyone else with HIV who works and has insurance (life expectancy is the same with HIV treatment, they live just as long).

TB screening would be most important. I forget if it is one third or one fourth of the world population that is infected(!!) as at least a latent carrier. Latent carriers can become active/contagious at some point so we would want to treat for it as a preventive measure.[/quote]
