“
I’m trying to figure out when the congress voted to add the HPV vaccination to the requirements for citizenship. Wouldn’t we have noticed an immigration law being passed?
Or is this just a directive from the Obama administration? Or the Bush administration before him?”
Thank you Charles...THAT is my question. I want to see the statute.

Don't you understand? The reporter who wrote this story said that immigration law requires it, so that gives it the full force of federal law and anyone who believes in the rule of law should just simply roll over and accept it.
I can’t show you a statute, but a quick google search pulls up this:

“Immigration immunization laws
Under new immigration laws passed in 1996 and in effect as of July 1, 1997, all individuals seeking permanent entry into the U.S. must prove that they have been inoculated against all vaccine-preventable diseases. This includes infants and children being brought into the country for international adoption.(12)”

“United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
— Acellular pertussis
— Hepatitis A
— Hepatitis B
— Human papillomavirus (HPV)
— Influenza
— Influenza type b (Hib)
— Measles
— Meningococcal
— Mumps
— Pneumococcal
— Pertussis
— Polio
— Rotovirus
— Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids
— Varicella
— Zoster”
My guess is that it may have happened in a process similar to this one:
