CANADA must welcome more refugees with HIV, says human rights group. “‘Having HIV when you’re a refugee living in a camp bordering Syria is potentially a death sentence,’ she said. ‘Canada can play an important role in the global fight against HIV by providing asylum to people affected or at high risk, and provide them with access to medical treatment.'”

If your concern really is “fight[ing] against HIV,” then “a death sentence” would be more effective than asylum, wouldn’t it? Let’s at least be honest here that this is about providing for the spread of AIDS, in one’s own country no less.
