There will be checks in place to make sure this doesn't happen, plus with out incredibly tough border controls I am sure it will not be an issue.

Its all well and good protecting the British citizens of this country but true protection would be stopping illeagal immigrants at the border in the first place!
It annoys me to no end when i watch UK border force etc, they find an immigrant that came here on a legitmate 6 month visa and dissapears for 3 years.. Eventually they are found and cannot be deported as they don't have a passport.

Even if you are serious, which i doubt you are, it won't stop heroin users contracting HIV thru needle sharing
Don't do heroin then. If the side affect of neutering HIV positive immigrants is the death of heroin users then i don't really see the issue. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Blimey.
.......right ok
Operated by our 100% fit for purpose UK Border Agency?
Still, I guess whatever government we have in future will have the perfect excuse for continuing on the NHS privatisation route.

This would be my concern also.
In an ideal world everyone’s needs would be catered for, but alias we are not so until we reach the point where our health care system can provide the upmost level of care for all those that have been paying into it for generations I'm against this.

You missed my sarcasm.
It still baffles me that people can come to the UK to study and be riddled with AIDs or TB etc.
There was a long list of what i had to do before i was allowed into the USA, checked for TB, Aids, other contageous diseases. I even had to have an MMR jab.
People should be screened in their own countries then treated before they come to the UK.
For a country that erradicated TB, it was shocking to hear how many cases were being treated in Blackburn.

Pretty much agree with you, people should have health checks and imunised if needed before coming to the UK.
Legal immigrants from high risk countries do need to have similar tests. I think you'll find that most people ITT talk about illegal ones.
I agree with this in most circumstances (e.g. housing) but I generally think that everyone should be treated equally when it comes to life threatening disease. I don't care if that means budgets have to be readjusted or I have to pay slightly more tax per year, I don't like to think of people suffering unnecessarily in this country when they could be recieving help.
What a philanthropist I am
but if they have failed to be allowed to stay then they are not our problem so send em back
We've paid / been involved in the eradication of smallpox and rinderpest. Currently involved in polio eradication worldwide and regional eradication of malaria, measles, rubella and many others.

Because quite clearly we'll have roaming hordes -- yes, HORDES -- of uncivilised asylum seekers from Bongo Bongo Land or wherever filling the streets with robbery, murder, rape, and the utterly uncontrollable, wanton and (dare I say) fountainous spreading of infected bodily fluids amongst the uninfected population; all with total gleeful abandon.
amirite?
its funny when illegal immigrants come into contact with the police, they get arrested and then get immigration bail and then never report, rinse and repeat.
I do not understand why it is so hard to deport people in this country, the USA for example you can't even have a joke on twitter before they refuse you entry and deport you, with a life long ban from the visa waiver programme. Look at the way they police the mexico/texas border.
Im all for offering those people from countries where they are being persecuted like syria asylum, but come on how many asylum seekers are actually at risk back home? we should tighten our borders and require communicable disease test for asylum and visa applicants.

Charity begins at home yes? - Sounds selfish but surely there a people in a worse state in our own country than someone illegally in this country requiring treatment?.
It's a shame but so much suffering in the world is because of this mentality.
As if people who can get to this or any other country where they have a chance in hell at any kind of life were not planning on doing so anyway?
