This amendment is here to try to stop what I believe is a very serious mistake that President Clinton and his administration are getting ready to make. The amendment offered by my friend and colleague. Senator KENNEDY. is clearly a figleaf designed to give political cover. and to allow President Clinton to go forward with his change in policy and allow immigrants that are HIV positive to come into this country. As Senator KENNEDY mentioned there are 700.000 immigrants that come into the United States every year. If we change this policy. it will almost be like an invitation for many people who carry this dreadful. deadly disease. to come into the country because we do have quality health care in this country. better health care in the United States than any other country. in the world. So instead of talking about a few hundred.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants with HIV will come to the US for healthcare.
