WHY IS ROB FORD ALLOWED INTO U.S.?

Re: Rob Ford defends his record as mayor on Jimmy Kimmel's TV show, March 4

A B.C. woman named Jess Goldstein was denied entry into the U. S and
barred for life, for admitting to the customs officials she had smoked
marijuana in the past. Her car was searched, she was questioned for
six hours and told she could never enter the U. S. again. She owns a
cabin in Washington state and her father is American so she used to
cross quite often. Now she can cross the border only because she was
granted an official waiver, which cost her almost $ 600, and has to be
renewed again each year.

Meanwhile, Rob Ford, our fool mayor of Toronto, an admitted smoker of
crack cocaine, has crossed the border into the U. S. to appear on
American TV. How come the U. S. customs officials let him cross the
border? Where is the punishment for Rob Ford? How come he does not
have to pay $ 600 a year to visit? It would have been less of an
embarrassment for Canada if he had been barred.
