The obama state dept declares a 9 yearold a threat while allowing 1000s to cross the southern border unimpeded. Liberals are a joke. They should all commit suicide.

Civil servants Kathy and Edward Francis planned to surprise their grandson Micah Strachan with the holiday of a lifetime to Florida in February.

They were only going to tell Micah about it when they took him to the airport on February 19 for the flight to the US.

They had already spent more than £1,500 on plane tickets and had been organising the trip for months.

But this week US Embassy officials denied the schoolboy a visa to enter the US.

They said there was a risk he would not leave the US at the end of his holiday and refused his application under Section 214 (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Yes, I do believe he and Teddy are VERY close...

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

This isn't a partisan issue, just a stupid bureaucracy/lack of common sense issue. Highly unlikely a 9 year old got on the do-not-fly list due to anything in his past. Just unlucky enough to have a flagged name.

He wasn't on a no fly list, he was refused because "They said there was a risk he would not leave the US at the end of his holiday and refused his application under Section 214 (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act." from the article listed.

edit to add:
One does have to wonder though, how many strong ties outside the US did the underware bomber have?
