Michigan Welfare Client (on Vacation!) Kept Out of Canada - Files Complaint!
May 9, 2009 OWOSSO, Mich. - A mid-Michigan woman says she was denied entry into Canada because she is on welfare. Rose Kelley of Owosso says she has filed a discrimination complaint with the Canada Border Services Agency over its refusal to let her and her two children cross the border via the Blue Water Bridge connecting Port Huron with Sarnia, Ontario. The 25-year-old Kelley tells The Argus-Press of Owosso that she planned to visit friends and relatives when she arrived at the border May 1. She says she was told to furnish evidence of citizenship, financial support and other documentation, but was denied entry again on May 3. Kelley says she was told she didn't make enough money and people on welfare shouldn't take vacations. Agency spokeswoman Patrizia Giolti says she can't discuss specifics of Kelley's case.
