I try not to be frustrated and angry, but then I read things like this. Gonzaga wants to recruit a shooting guard from Canada, but...
Even if the State Department thinks it's possible for a 7 year old child to fake being a refugee in order to hatch his mastermind terrorist plot--which is a bit of a stretch, I should hope--does his behavior over the last 13 years count for nothing?
I don't think the State Department is keeping him out because they think he's a terrorist. Even the drooling, giggling beasts at the INS aren't *that* stupid. I'm sure the young man is being turned down because some part of the process can't be fulfilled the way it normally is and it would put them in a position of having to rub a couple synapses together to work through. So they just reject the request and go put more coffee in their sippie cups because, well...fuck him--plenty of others standing in line.
Substantial reform of the State Department (and especially the INS and immigration law, since I mentioned it) would be enough to make a Obama a "good" president in my eyes. The task has to be daunting, at best.
Kong, 20, is originally from Sudan, which is listed by the United States as a state sponsor of terrorism. Although he has lived in Canada since age 7, he does not hold citizenship there. He has been denied a visa to study in the United States three times, and it is unclear if he will ever satisfy the requirements for entry.
