Mr. Speaker. I have with me today a copy of my grandparents 1907 immigration papers. Eightyfive years ago when my grandparents arrived at Ellis Island they were required to be in good health. It has been the policy of the United States for over a century to require standards for new immigrants. The law of the United States. as signed by President Bill Clinton. does not permit HIVinfected aliens to enter our country. This week Bill Clinton ignored that law. When my immigrant grandfather died and left my grandmother with seven children they did not have Medicaid or food stamp programs. Our family worked to survive. Today Florida and the American taxpayers will pick up the costly medical and social support tab for AIDSinfected aliens being flown to our shores.
