bush again.......(sigh)
Clearly, this is just the latest example of the road to hell paved with good intentions. Bush wants a legacy. He wants to look like a “humanitarian.” So he pushes the global AIDS relief bill which is basically an incredibly big chunk of U.S. taxpayer-provided cash for Africa, something like $50 billion. He did not want to veto it, and nobody in the administration thought it was worth a single political chit to insist the Kerry amendment be removed before he would sign the legislation. So....he signed it, and this is the result. And of course with the State Department administering the visas, the new rule will be treated to the most generous, liberal interpretation possible. The only small saving grace is if they obtain a visa and enter our country WITHOUT declaring their infection, the are subject to immediate deportation. It remains to be seen if that will be enforced.
