Letting people into this country with the disease is NOT going to increase aids here. Countries who don't have restrictions or lifted bans have not seen a
HUGE increase as people would assume/tell you. I don't get all this fake outrage over this, I think a lot of this has to do with people being ignorant
about the disease. Many people probably think you can still get it from a toilet seat or sneezing.

JFC. Because HIV/AIDS doesn't exist in America, right? It's not like visitors with HIV are gonna go all over town biting people, spitting in their
drinks, etc. This isn't some sort of 28 Days Later shit.

Yes, people think Obama has a magic wand. It really amazes me how sooooo many people are either so ignorant to the fact, or simply have lost sight of the
well known fact that Obama did not put us in these current situations. Our President prior to put us in these horrible situations.
