It’s backwards-looking both in terms of immigration and health care — our priority shouldn’t be keeping as many people as possible out of the country, and we’ve known for years that a person with AIDS can’t inadvertently cause an outbreak.
I’m glad that this administration is continuing to look forward and advance our national policies, rather than continually looking backward. Kudos to both the President and Secretary Sebelius for this long-overdue move.

I think it was a good move that Obama signed this Act. Ultimately It will relax the requirements for immigrants entering the country. I’ll be curious to see the ramifications in the coming years.
