Mental Health Screening

I would be curious to know exactly what mental health screening DHS, formerly the INS, would use to screen immigrants? The California Personality Inventory? The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory? Ink blots? Previous gang membership in MS13, or aspiring to join the Vice Lords or the Nation of Islam? An expensive polygraph test maybe? Mental status does change. As soon as word gets out that previous suicide attempts means no green card you know what the answer to that psychological screening question will be? I know of no psychological screening devices that regularly and sucessfully selects for homicidal prone people on a mission for god, much less suicidal people. Indeed, most of the time the people who actually attempt suicide are not on those screened risk lists for suicide.

You do realize such mental health screening, for what it's worth, does not happen with the million or so illegal immigrants that stream accross the American borders each year much less the visa over stays of tourists? Hell, DHS can't even keep track of visa over stays much less inventory their mental health status. And I'm sure those DHS background checks for the current flock of illegal aliens will be creative works of art to meet the amnesty quotas for the White House.
