Latin Pop Star Paulina Rubio is denied residency visa

[AnaAndDaniel 0]

This article is in espanol. Read article here.

Essentially it reports that the pop star (Mexican national) and her hubby, ( i think some dude from Spain) had applied for USA residency and were like all other applicants required to go through Ciudad Juarez.

Unlike all other folks, the clinic where the lab works are done closed its doors to the public for two hours whilst the star and her hubby were processed. Both failed the drug test. She tested positive for marijuana; he for marijuana, cocaine and escasty(sp?).

Soo, of course denied and reportedly given a 3 year ban.

The article does not say on what basis she was applying for residency as neither applicant is a resident/citizen of the US of A. prolly the monied visa route.

Wow....call me naive, but I had no idea they do a drug test on applicants.

Good to see you, brother Daniel!

Not that you're going to get hardcore smack or crack addicts applying for visas, but govts thumbing their noses at people who use 'soft' substances seems a little strange to me.

I wonder if anyone else finds it odd that certain addictive substances which cause all manner of social problems can be enjoyed in moderation, but certain others which are classified as illegal for the weirdest and most inconsistent of reasons can only be "abused".

Not really a comment on this particular case - but just seems a little strange is all.

I think she's trashy anyway. Doesn't surprise me one bit she got denied for drug use. I actually call her cootchie crack lady because in her one video, that's all you can see. It's disgusting.

I don't know what it's like in other consulates, but in Juarez (where she was) they LOVE to do the pee test.

If you have smoked pot even once in the last three years (and admit it, key point), you're banned from applying for a visa for three more years. If you admit to having tried drugs more than once at ANY point in your life, the visa is automatically denied as well. To be able to get another in the future, you have to have proved "rehabilitation." I wonder what that kind of "rehab" would look like for pot!

In Juarez, there are certain people they like to badger....really pushing the drug line of questioning at the medical. Then they send you to the shrink, which is the kiss of death. While waiting for my hubby to come out of his medical, I saw several people getting called into the shrink's office.

I agree....if you're an alcoholic, we'll take you, but if you smoke weed, we don't want your kind.

I wonder if they could deny you in the Netherlands, say, where marijuana is legal.
