Crack Cocaine

crack cocaine: Fords admission that he smoked crack cocaine in the last two years leaves him with a border problem. While he might still be granted entry into the United States applications are handled on a case-by-case basis he could also be rejected, according to the U.S. government and a Toronto immigration lawyer, according to The Star. U.S. officials declined to discuss the specifics of Fords case, citing privacy laws. But they readily addressed the question of whether a hypothetical Canadian citizen would be welcome in the U.S. after speaking publicly about consuming crack cocaine and WASHINGTON Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he wants to attend the Winter Classic hockey game near Detroit. He may not get past Windsor. Under U.S. law, the mere admission of illegal drug use in Fords case, an admission broadcast far and wide on American television is grounds for a Canadian to be turned away at a crossing. The absence of criminal charges, let alone a conviction, doesnt matter. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
