Yet they were still denied. The gentleman makes a point that my own personal amendment was not germane. That amendment was an amendment which would have continued to codify into law the ban that President Clinton is trying to lift now on alien immigrants infected with the AIDS virus coming into this country. We all know that 600 of them were turned down last year. If that ban had been lifted. all 600 would be somewhere in this country continuing their lifestyle that helped them get the AIDS virus. in whatever way that was. Mr. Speaker. there are 274 Haitian refugees waiting in Guantanamo Bay in a U.S. naval base that are infected with the AIDS virus. If President Clinton is allowed to lift that ban. that means that automatically they are going to receive entry into this country. We cannot allow that to happen.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants with AIDS will continue a lifestyle that spreads the virus.
