Soon after OsamaObamaCare fully kicks in we’ll be waiting 6 months for heart surgery just like they do in Canada (I saw it on a Canadian government website) and by then we’ll feel very lucky,indeed,to be *seeing* these bedbugs.

The basic inspection was to determine physical, economic, mental and moral fitness to enter this country. The inspection itself would usually last three to five hours and this was beside the US requirement for steamship carriers to conduct preliminary health and legal inspections at the port of embarkation or on board ship before debarkation.
