How come we check at the border for drugs and fruit but don't . . . . .?

check arrivals for diseases which are rife in other countries, like aids, HPV, and TB?
For example a Nigerian circus performer , here for 7 years, has been charged with infecting 12 women with HPV who he can identify to the police, and many more he can't remember.
Surely we need to monitor the health of people arriving in our country to guard against this?
What do you think?
Additional Details
Avide, yes, I understand, maybe a new arrival has to have a document stating he is OK healthwise, which the government should, not be privvy to.
A false declaration could be hit with a big fine.
I don't see how this infotmation could be available to employers etc.?

Illegal aliens cross Americaâ€™s borders medically unexamined. We shrug. We do not know what Illegal Aliens carry in their backpacks. We do not know what they carry in their bodies.

Long ago we knew what legal immigrants brought with them.

When my grandpa came to America, he kissed the ground of New Yorkâ€™s Ellis Island,
then he stripped naked and coughed hard.
Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival
and tested for tuberculosis.
Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country.
That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy.

Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate
that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction
to qualify for lawful permanent residency Green Cards.

But Illegal Aliens stop at no medical checkpoint.
Whoever walks through our foolishly open door comes in healthy or sick.

If a border patrol sentry catches a healthy Illegal Alien
he might be sent back home immediately.

However, if we catch and detain a sick Illegal Alien,
who after examination by physicians in a detention center
proves to have a serious disease,
we keep him!

Foolish compassion
makes us fear that his home country has neither adequate medical resources
nor modern wonder drugs.
So we release sick Illegal Aliens to the American streets,
to infect others if their diseases are contagious,
or we place them in our Medicaid program
where we pay for their expensive treatments.

Foolish medical generosity
encourages clever Illegal Aliens to exploit free medical care
that EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, provides.

Foolish medical graciousness
encourages cynical Illegal Aliens to take and take and take again

Only a foolish guest will refuse what a foolish host offers.
Our wide-open door guarantees that Illegal Aliens
in their own self-interest
will use and abuse our medical system.

Our door also is propped open thanks to advocacy
and legal aid of Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Foundation,(MALDEF)
National Immigration Law Center,
Southern Poverty Law Center,
and similar open border groups.

America is fast becoming Hospital to the World.

Horrendous diseases that long ago America had conquered are resurging.
Horrific diseases common in Third World poverty and medical ignorance
suddenly are appearing in American emergency rooms and medical offices.

Along with the visible invasion of Illegal Aliens across our borders
is an invisible invasion of deadly diseases.

Many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases
that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago,
such as drug-resistant tuberculosis,
malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease.

yes. another wise health move derailed by political correctness.

The problem is that then the government will require all of our health records. Which is fine in a perfect world, but I think you know we are not in a perfect world. We are in a world where people use what they know about you, AGAINST YOU. Whether its government, companies, family, or friends. Once someone else (that doesn't really care about you) knows your personal business (like your health) employers will not give you a job, the government will try to have you imprisoned, or just your average citizen will harass you. See the problem with this...

Because it helps the population of illegals go down because they infect each other and die. NOt being PC but its true.
