Hello Jeff Donald Trump is within his legal rights to
use communicable disease law to keep refugees with infectious diseases
like TB, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough etc out of the US.
Chagas is a death sentence and was not locally acquired in the US until
the influx of illegals from Central and South America and Mexico.
It is time to get out the pen and write up an EO (also the right of the
President of the US) to use certain diseases to keep infected immigrants
and refugees out of the US.
The laws already exist on the books and certain new diseases and old
deadly diseases like Chagas should be added.
Time to get serious on immigration and the danger to the public health
of the people of the US.
Once again…
I hope Trump will implement health related grounds for inadmissibility
to the US. This includes not only communicable diseases but also
mental health conditions that make an immigrant a danger to themselves
or others as well as a history of drug abuse or addiction.
I would hope they include a propensity to rape as a related grounds for
inadmissibility to the US.
Please check out the website below for more information on health related
grounds of inadmissibility to the US as well as physical or mental grounds
of inadmissibility to the US.
Donald Trump should also use this information as means of stopping all
immigration until we can determine the people who are allowed into the
US are of no danger to America.
I do not believe those from a society that tolerates rape and practices
rape frequently are going to make a good future American…ever. I
also think any refugee or immigrants to the US who iareaccused of rape
or convicted of rape should be (castrated) and deported immediately.

How Health Issues Can Make You Inadmissible to the U.S.
While a common cold won't stop you from being admitted to the U.S. with
a visa or green card, more serious communicable diseases might, as well
as disorders that might cause you to harm yourself or others.
Anyone applying to visit or reside in U.S., whether on a temporary visa
or a permanent green card, must prove that he or she does not present
a health risk to the general public. These requirements are known as health-related
grounds of inadmissibility.
You might not be allowed to enter or remain in the United States if you:
• have a communicable disease of public health significance
• lack required vaccinations
• have or have had a physical or mental disorder that causes you to engage
in behavior that might be harmful to yourself or others, or
• have a history of drug abuse or addiction.
Even if you have never been diagnosed with an alcohol- or drug-related
health issue, a record of alcohol- or drug-related arrests (a DUI, for
instance) or criminal offenses can result in your being found inadmissible
on health grounds.
There are waivers available for all health-related grounds of inadmissibility
except drug abuse and addiction.
How Your Health-Related Inadmissibility Will Be Discovered
Health-related inadmissibility issues are typically discovered when immigration
officials review either your answers to questions about your health in
your visa or green card application forms, the results of your immigration
medical examination (required for every immigrant—that is, permanent resident—visa
or green card, and for some temporary visitors), criminal and court records
you submit with your application, and any other documents or information
you provide at interviews and inspections.
You will need to answer questions regarding your health on almost any
application you might submit, whether it’s for a temporary (nonimmigrant)
or an immigrant visa. The questions you see on the forms asking about
your history of communicable disease, substance abuse, and physical and
mental disorders all pertain to your potential inadmissibility on health-grounds.
What to Expect During the Medical Examination
In an immigration medical examination, the physician will most likely
review your medical record, vaccinations, chest x-rays, and laboratory
results, and perform a physical examination. If you are applying from
outside the U.S. to enter and reside permanently, you must undergo a medical
examination by a physician certified by the Department of State. If you
are already residing in the United States and applying for permanent residency
(adjustment of status), you will need to attend a medical examination
by a physician certified by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS).
The physician will prepare a report summarizing his or her medical findings
for the immigration authorities.
Communicable Disease Ground of Inadmissibility
The list of communicable diseases that bar people from entering the United
States, which is kept by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), continues
to grow. The list includes a number of quarantinable diseases (such as
cholera, plague, smallpox, and yellow fever), as well as leprosy, tuberculosis,
and pandemic flu. Recently HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases
(such as chancroid and gonorrhea) were removed from this list.
The physician conducting your medical examination (if any) will ask you
about certain diseases depending on what countries you’ve lived in or
traveled to. The physician will also examine your medical history, blood
test, and chest x-rays for traces of communicable diseases.
Physical or Mental Disorder Ground of Inadmissibility
Having a physical or mental disorder that creates behavior harmful to
property, safety, or public welfare can make you inadmissible. Harmful
behavior is defined as psychological or physical injury to the applicant
or another person (such as a suicide attempt or pedophilia), a threat
to health or safety (such as driving while intoxicated or threatening
to kill someone), or damage to major property. Mental illness alone without
any harmful behavior will not make you inadmissible.
Even if you no longer have a harmful disorder, you may still be inadmissible
if the disorder is likely to reoccur. And even if you have no prior diagnosis
or record of any disorders, a history of crimes such as assaults and domestic
violence involving alcohol and drugs could result in a referral for a
mental examination and ultimately a finding of inadmissibility.
A record of alcohol-related offenses, or any other evidence of alcohol
abuse, like driving while under the influence, may lead to a referral
to a physician to determine whether you have and alcohol-related mental
or physical disorder causes harmful behavior. Anything more than a single
drunk driving arrest or conviction may result in a referral to a physician.
Drug Abuse and Addiction
Related Ads
A history of drug abuse or addiction will bar you from entering the U.S.
on health grounds. Drug abuse is broadly defined to mean anything beyond
mere experimenting. In general, experimenting is considered just one use.
Anything beyond one non-medical use of a controlled substance will be
considered drug abuse. Normally, the physician giving the medical examination
will administer a drug test only upon deciding that it is necessary in
the individual person’s case.
If you have any drug- or alcohol-related arrests or convictions on your
record, consult with an immigration attorney before applying for a U.S.
visa or residency. These items on your record may also make you inadmissible
on criminal or controlled substance trafficking grounds.
Vaccinations and Inadmissibility
Applicants for green cards or immigrant visas (but not temporary visas)
are required to have vaccinations against a number of diseases, including
influenza, measles, mumps, and rubella. (See the USCIS Web page on “Vaccination
Requirements” for the full list.) The influenza vaccine will be required
only if you are entering the United State during flu season, generally
between October and March of each year.
Bring your vaccination records to your immigration medical examination:
If you show the physician the proof of your past vaccinations, you can
avoid getting them again, and paying for them! The physician will determine
which vaccines are appropriate for your age.
Internationally adopted children under the age of ten are not required
to have vaccinations before they enter the United States. However, they
will be required to have their vaccinations completed within 30 days of
arrival. Vaccinations that are against your religious beliefs will not
be required.
