It seems to me that the problem everyone has is with the lame "morality" policies about entering this country and how prohibitive and possibly damaging they are in their idiocy and uselessness....regardless of whether they're applied to a douche or to Mother Theresa.

And the present tense he used appears to me to have been applied to what he was accused of, not what he himself asserted about his supposedly past drug use. He claims he stopped using drugs years ago in the article. He could be lying of course, but it's an important detail to consider in the discussion.

Well this pretty much covers every point I would have made in reply.

interesting read on a canadian barred from entering the US even though he had two kids, a house, and a job in Utah. Oh yeah. not to mention a work permit and 13 years experience.

fascism is here, folks.

"Is there a war going on [at] the border that we don't know about?" Kevin Gibbons asks. "Why are Canadians getting hassled so much right now?"
Gibbons is devastated because, he said, for the first time in his life, he's looking for a job and a new home — thanks to the discretion of U.S. border guards.
"I still can't believe that this can happen. They can take your life and trash it," said Gibbons.
Quote:

Gibbons said he was allowed to travel back to Utah, temporarily, to sell his home — at a huge loss — and collect the family belongings. Since coming back to Canada, he's tried to cross again, unsuccessfully, at other ports of entry — because his U.S. employer still wants him back. Gibbons said, each time, he was made to feel more and more like a criminal.
Quote:

"They (Customs and Border Protection) then accused me of border shopping and said they were going to put me in jail over the weekend up in front of an immigration judge," said Gibbons.
That threat was enough to scare the Gibbons family away from the border permanently.
"It feels like we must have done something really horrible, the way they treat you," said Gibbon's wife Heather.

pissant power-delirious security employees flexing their muscles and using their power to ruin lives.

sounds a hell of a lot like the regular cops: working hard to destroy lives since 1776.

The more I read, the more I resolve never to set foot in the US again (unless I really must). That is mostly not a problem. Just a damn shame.
