“One of the greatest selling jobs of all-time was to take the behavioral conduct ring out of the word AIDS. If we were discussing this as what it is, a fatal venereal disease, and it had the ring of syphilis, which is no longer fatal, I do not think we would be going back and forth like this. We would say illegal immigrants cannot get treatment for syphilis, and if they are legal then their sponsor has to take care of it. But because we have done this magnificent PR on the only fatal venereal disease in the country, we still go back and forth as though AIDS is a badge of honor. It shows you are a swinger and you are part of the in crowd in this country. Sad. I cannot add anything to the brilliance of the gentleman from California or the gentleman from Texas or the people who have worked out an excellent piece of legislation. I just, for my 5 grown children and my constituents, want to get up and say: Illegal- legal. Illegal is lawbreaking; law breakers have no rights in this country.”
