Moral Turpitude that will get you denied entry into the USA

Didn’t know this would deny you entry into the United States, but the Author of “Dandy in the Underworld” was denied entry into the USA yesterday because of “Moral Turpitude”. Wikipedia defines this from the State Department Web Site as:

“For offenses (or arrests on suspicion of such offenses) occurring outside the U.S., the locally defined offense must be considered against the U.S. definitions, and in such cases it is the definition of the offense (as defined in the appropriate country) which is considered for immigration purposes, and not the circumstances of the individual’s actual case.” Source Wikipedia

The great thing for Sebasitan Horsley is that he was just handed the biggest PR ever, meaning his book on sex, drugs, and being a playboy will probably sell more copies than if the TSA had not barred him entry into the USA.

The interesting part is that with all the people like him roaming American streets, who have also kicked the habit, what standards as a community do we hold them to as a society. What about all the rock and roll acts coming in from over sea’s (sex drugs and rock and roll), or the host of dictators, or the rest of the issues with immigration that we deal with today. Moral Turpitude indeed.
