Historically speaking, at one point in time America used to welcome immigrants and it wasn’t as complicated as it is today. There are many pros and cons to this topic. Immigrants got their health checked out when they reached the United States and now immigrants don’t have that privilege. As years went on the way immigrants were treated had changed.

Immigrants can also bring in diseases that they received in their own country. This then leads to the spread of disease. To reduce the risk of transferring of diseases, many countries have tried to do screening of all immigrants on their arrival to make sure they aren’t bringing anything over here.
