Not Welcome Down Under

Snoop Dogg has been refused entry into Australia because of his extensive criminal record, the immigration minister said yesterday.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., was due to fly into Sydney this week to co-host the MTV Australia Video Music Awards.
Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said Snoop Dogg's visa was canceled because he had failed to pass the country's strict character test, which takes criminal convictions into account.
“He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country,” Andrews told Sydney's Macquarie Radio.
Snoop Dogg has 28 days to protest the decision.
Earlier this month, Snoop Dogg was sentenced to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service after he pleaded no contest to felony gun and drug charges in California.
Snoop Dogg was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. In 1997, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and a promise to make public service announcements against violence.
He was acquitted of a murder charge in 1996 after the death of an alleged street-gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle in which Snoop Dogg was traveling.
'He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country,' Andrews told Sydney's Macquarie Radio."
WOW! The U.S. needs to hire Kevin Andrews as the chief of U.S. Homeland Security. America has too many immigrant "blokes" who have no character whatsoever. And all of these "blokes" are piled upon our own native homegrown undesirable "blokes" like Snoop Dogg and others.
Why can't Homeland Security implement a similar "strict character test" for entry in the U.S. as well?
I’m impressed. We shouldn’t allow this thug to return.
Then again, the U.S. lacks you know what’s. Instead we WELCOME criminals especially if they are ILLEGAL.
Hey Snoop, try Indonesia.
Australia is loaded with nappy-headed sheila's.
“Why can’t Homeland Security implement a similar “strict character test” for entry in the U.S. as well?”
Because if we did that, the Dems wouldn’t have any friends.
Aussies keepin’ it real.
Good work.

We don't want him either!
Of all of the talentless talent out there I think Snoop has the least talent. When I see that nappy head on TV I just don’t get it. Why is he famous??????????
LOL.
