ArticlePedia - Politicians, Illegal Aliens, Billions of Dollars and a Truckload of Bull
In December of 2005 the house passed a bill that Senator Bill Frist endorses. They now want to escalate the status of Illegal Alien to a Felony offense. This same bill has been getting re-hashed and resubmitted all throughout 2006. The Bill that was just signed by Bush is as much bull today as it was then. A piece of legislation that more rese According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product mbles a Pi?ata than a comprehensive piece of legislation to secure our boarders. After all; it is big, uses colorful language and is as empty as a balloon. Even if this were a well thought out piece of legislation, without funding it is worthless. This bill we have now is nothing more than a transparent ploy to get votes. If it gets votes t ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in he voter should be ashamed, because voting for a lie is like endorsing the lie. The bill they have been referring to was HR 4437, otherwise known as The Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. I am confused. How does changing the degree of an existing crime help anyone? If illegal aliens are already ille lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. gal, how does making them MORE illegal change anything? I could not find an answer for this one in the bill. Will it provide the funding to enforce existing laws that currently aren't enforced? According to the bill they will assess civil penalties of between $500 and $20,000 against employers for each illegal immigrant they hire and criminal here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe penalties of up to $20,000 per illegal immigrant hired and up to six months in jail for engaging in a pattern of employing illegal workers. Will it provide for more man power (funding again) that doesn't currently exist? According to the bill a total of 15,400 people will be added: 4,400 Border Patrol agents over six years to the 10,000 Congre d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ss provided for in the intelligence reform law passed in 2004, and 1,000 more immigrant smuggling investigators over the next five years. The bill includes the “One Face at the Border” initiative which is aimed at unifying the inspection process that travelers entering the United States have to go through. Instead of making three stops – an Imm ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc igration Inspector, a Customs Inspector and an Agriculture Inspector – travelers would meet with a single primary inspections officer who was specially trained to do the job of all three. In my opinion this sounds more efficient and a way to reduce cost. The question I have is how it will be implemented? I have been through customs in our airpo easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi ts more times than I care to count. I could say that I definitely like a single stop a lot more than 3 stops after spending 9 or 12 hours on a plane the very last thing I want to do is stand in line for 30 minutes to 1 ? hours. While I understand that security is necessary – your level of understanding degrades rapidly while standing in that lin nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically e. Another thing I see throughout the bill is the phrase: “Secretary of Homeland Security shall, as expeditiously as practicable, develop and implement _____________” Develop and Implement? As expeditiously as practicable? What about the money? Let's spell this out real simple. I want you to do as much as possible, as quickly as possible o and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ n TASK A. I am giving you no money to do it. How much do you think will get done? At least they have provided for ‘accountability”. Well if you consider only worrying about things that cost more than $20,000,000 accountability that is: “Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security shall review each contract action related to the D ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi partment's Secure Border Initiative having a value greater than $20,000,000…” Did you know that this bill specifies that the Department of Homeland security will be responsible for reimbursing owners of private property that have their property damaged by illegal aliens along the boarders? SEC. 112. REPAIR OF PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURE ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a ON BORDER Subject to the amount appropriated in subsection (d) of this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall reimburse property owners for costs associated with repairing damages to the property owners' private infrastructure constructed on a United States Government right-of-way delineating the international land border when such dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?

Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin ure prior to damage. That’s right, the “conservative” federal government is taking on the responsibility of basically insuring private property at tax payer expense. Remember Bill Frist and Tom DeLay have been touting the importance of this bill. See for yourself how your elected official voted. They are providing for the detecti tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen n of radiological materials at ports, sort of. Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall deploy radiation portal monitors at all United States ports of entry and facilities as determined by the Secretary to facilitate the screening of all inbound cargo for nuclear and radiologi t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel cal material. Authorization of Appropriations - There is some funding authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out subsection (a) such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2006 and 2007 Now remember this means that it will only be detected after it has already arrived at and is sitting in a major U.S. port facility. ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust Also, it is only funded till the end of 2007. While I do not in anyway dispute this statement: “The United States is engaged in a Global War on Terrorism.” I adamantly believe it to be true. However, by placing this exact statement in a bill that would be signed into law could be a legal problem that needs careful consideration. Would this st y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products tement as drafted in SEC. 118. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS of HR 4437 in fact act as a legal declaration of war by the U.S. Congress in compliance with the War Powers Act? That this would give the extremely broad powers of placing the United States in a Declared State of War with whomever the Whitehouse feels it . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de is at war with? This would in turn suddenly grant very broad powers to the President? While this vast bill has some useful recommendations there seems to be very little provisions for funding in it. The only funding provisions are what I listed above. So it once again comes down to what good are laws if they are not funded nor enforced. You ca elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip n write tougher laws, but a bluff is just a bluff. Without taking actions on existing laws, writing new ones does nothing but waste money, time and paper. This legislation has some areas that really concern me, some that seems logical and the rest is all election year hot air. The good parts of this bill could probably be reduced to 1 or 2 pages tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
