Abstract

The Federal Government has an obligation to protect its citizens from the biosecurity threat posed by foreign entrants. Similarly, American citizens have a constitutional right to be protected. This article identifies the specific public health threats posed by foreign entrants, analyzes the relevant law, and then proposes specific solutions to ameliorate the problem.
