Obama Changed Immigration Policy to Allow People with HIV to Immigrate to the US?

The law change was already initiated under Bush, but yes, people with the HIV virus are not banned from immigrating any longer if they otherwise meet the requirements. Those with AIDS are excluded however. Keep in mind that not everybody who has a virus infection will get sick.

Somebody who has had cancer (I had testicle cancer at age 26--30 years ago) is not excluded either. Only people who have an acute cancer problem are excluded, just like people who have acute AIDS.

Prior to 2010, federal immigration law prohibited people with HIV from entering the country. The United States recently removed statutory and regulatory bans prohibiting people living with HIV from entering the country. Effective January 4, 2010, HIV is no longer a bar to entry into the United States for visitation or immigration purposes. This means that HIV status alone cannot be a reason for excluding, removing, or deporting a person from the United States.

Yeah, about four years ago. It was a process started during the Bush Administration, actually.

There's no rational reason for the ban. We don't ban cancer patients. We don't ban people with psychological problems. Why ban people with HIV/AIDS?

The ban was put in place during the Reagan years, when there was a lot of HIV hysteria. Most people now realize that you're not going to get AIDS by shaking hands or kissing somebody who has it.

This was not a just Ban I remember when it was imposed partly by Jesse Helms in 1987 it was long time for it to go and it did Bush started the process Obama finished it period.

thats not a big issue to me cause we have millions of ilegal people here not knowing what they have

Considering the fact the HIV is close to being eradicated I don't see how that's a major issue.

If that is really the case, then it does not surprise me at all, considering his record.
