Un-freaking-believable

The Yankee bastards Americans have detained a family, including a nine year old boy (who is a Canadian citizen) in a jail in Texas. Why? Because they were on a flight from Guyana to Canada, and it had to make an emergency landing in US territory because someone had a heart attack on the plane. Since they weren't planning to go to the US, they didn't have visas (the parents are not yet citizens and thus would need them). The US authorities don't seem to give a shit about why they're there, though, and are keeping all of them (even the kid, who as a Canadian should not need a visa) in one of their nasty prisons. Following Verbena, I've written an email to Peter MacKay demanding action, and urge all Canadian readers of this to do the same. He can be reached at MacKay.P@parl.gc.ca.
