How many visa applicants do they test for TB? If you didn't get a visa because you answered the questionaire truthfully, good for you. You are a principled, if lonely, minority. But as a practical matter they do not bar people with TB from coming here. And don't even get me started about the illegals with TB, I used to live in Texas.
All applicants are tested. X Rays, vaccination records, they check all of it. when you take your medical exam the results are SEALED and have to be presented unopened to the interviewers taking the visa application (at the consulate in the country the immigrant originates from).
I didn't get blocked; I'm a natvie Texan. My wife went through all of this in order to get her visa to come here.
This amnesty program Bush wants is a TOTAL slap in the face to every immigrant that got here legally.
