Disabled Woman Denied Entrance To US Due To Private Medical Records
Jah-Wren Ryel writes "In 2012, Canadian Ellen Richardson was hospitalized for clinical depression. This past Monday she tried to board a plane to New York for a $6,000 Caribbean cruise. DHS denied her entry, citing supposedly private medical records listing her hospitalization. From the story: '“I was turned away, I was told, because I had a hospitalization in the summer of 2012 for clinical depression,’’ said Richardson, who is a paraplegic and set up her cruise in collaboration with a March of Dimes group of about 12 others.'"
hell, Obama might have even given her citizenship!
Really, which other shill modded this down, or are you using sockpuppet accounts? The US government has a long history of repeatedly violating its own laws when bureaucrats or internal agency representatives feel justified in doing it. The government IS the people it is made up of. They utilize their brains to make decisions. When the pressure is too much, they burn their own to save their asses. This is not the rule of law, this is the rule of "don't get caught".
Shear ignorance of facts is the keystone to slashdot posts as well, but you never let that stop you, do you?
Its amusing how you ignorant fucks act like no other country is patriotic. You're so caught up in trying to tell how evil the man is you miss the fact that everyone is the exact same, America just happens to be on the top of the food chain at the moment.
If Somalia was the top dog in the world right now, you'd be saying it about them, even though nothing else had changed.
Your lack of insight and introspection is outstanding. Fortunately, you're on slashdot, introspection isn't in the dictionary or language used by slashdotters.

"the biggest threat to the world wasn't communism" Yeah, because 95+ Million People Killed isn't really much of a threat, is it?
While I don't agree with her being denied entry, one of the key similarities of the spree shooters in the last several years has been depression and having that depression treated with drugs.
It used to be that once upon a time we had Presidents who took responsibility for what they and their entire administration did, "The buck stops here".
So yeah in the end it is the Presidenrs fault.
But this Presidents motto is more. "I see nothing, I know nothing."
