I have a new client, he had a Nexus card. He had a bad reaction to the Johnson/Johnson shot, and went from healthy, to autoimmune "hell".

Medicine in Canada found no solutions, so he found a clinic in Tampa doing experimental treatments, and it has changed his life. He ONLY travelled to and from this clinic. No vacations, no holidays. He is getting slowly better and can now walk. He is only 61....former high level hockey player.

He got confronted by Homeland Security, and they said that it appears he overstayed. He showed them all the paperwork, all the visits, and yes, he had overstayed.

He also needs to go to another appointment/treatment later this month, and in August.

Of course they revoked his Nexus, denied him entry, and basically told him to go back to Canada and die there. (this was a woman officer)

Now he is my client, and I have had experience with a client who went for experimental Cancer treatment. In his case, he was in his 30's and he looked terrible when he was referred to us. In his case, it was a minor criminal record.

In the case of that gentleman, we applied for the Waiver, and, knowing it would not arrive in time, immediately did a Port Parole. They granted it, but warned that "this would be the only one" until his waiver arrived.

We applied again anyways, and every time he came back, he looked worse. They kept granting it, he went for treatments, and he kept looking worse.

Buffalo Port of Entry kept saying "we won't do this again" but they gave him 4 Port Paroles in a row, and on the fourth one, his waiver arrived.

3 months later, he walked into our office, the cancer in remission. To this day I have NEVER felt better about the process, Homeland Security, and this job.

The Buffalo director SAVED this guys life.

But that was a different world, and a different administration, and a time when the US and Canada were true allies. Buffalo did the RIGHT thing. They saved a man's life. I am not sure if they will do the same thing.

This Homeland Security office, a woman, according to the client, seemed to REVEL in the fact that she had the power to hurt this guy. He said nothing, he left.

I don't think his chances are good (which he knows) because of the current posture of Homeland Security, but I am going to try VERY hard to make it hard for them to say no. I'll keep everyone updated, and lets hope I am wrong, and they do the right thing.

Politics matter people. We have an unarmed border with "our closest ally" and yet because of one corrupt person, and his racist policies, people have died. People will continue to die. I hope this guy isn't one of them.
