Immigration Laws - Should We Add a Genetic Health Requirement?

When people come to American and legally migrate they come here to build a better life, and raise a family, and since we are the great melting pot many of them end up marrying into families and marry US Citizens, which are already here and well established. But in doing so, they are becoming part of America's gene pool.

So, shouldn't we be testing for Genetic Health conditions, genetic diseases, or problems that will make our gene pool weak and cost us huge amounts in health care costs? Many politically correct people would cringe at such a thought, perhaps even call me a racist, but I am "matter of factly" stating the challenges here, and whether we choose to address this or not, either way we will have made a choice.

Perhaps, this is more of a philosophical issue, and yet it is so very real, and whether we care to address it or not, it really does matter and it will make a difference. The future of our nation is at stake, or rather our full potential is at risk. If we genetically test now, we have a chance of improving our gene pool, and saving ourselves unbelievable amounts of money in future health care costs.

Genetic variation is a great thing, but genetic flaws could prove to be quite problematic and hurt subsequent generations. Do we have the right to allow harm to come to future generations? Isn't it the job of our government to protect the American People?

What gives us the right to ignore this threat to our future and our grandchildren? Please consider this and how we might incorporate genetic testing into our immigration laws.
