That arrest followed an alleged sex attack on a British girl two months earlier although he was never charged
A Home Office spokesman confirmed Samson was refused a visa after immigration officers noticed that one of the documents he supplied with his visa application was false which led them to make further inquiries.

You know, the jerk in the mail that pesters you when you walk by.
duh, mail=mall
aunt is illegal
half brother is a rapist or might be and turned away from the UK
so will this be in the media
nah course not
wonder if they could have asked where phony was born too
What about the other half of his brother?
Zero has quite a family!
His half-brother is denied entry due to a sexual attack on a girl, his aunt in in the US illegally....
“Jimmy had Billy. Bill had Roger. Bambi has Samson. Just your typical Demorat family.”
Yup...and GWB had his brother Neil “Savings & Loan” Bush. Just your typical Republican plutocrat family.
11 half-siblings by his dad, one more by his mother. Another historic milestone for this president: most half-siblings. And those are just the ones we know about
An Obama with false documents?? Ole Samson could have used Factcheck. org
Whew! Thank goodness Samson’s last name wasn’t Palin.
Otherwise this ugly, unsavory story would have actually been reported in the American media, and who needs that?
Seriously, if any prominent Republican had a brother who was a sex offender, there would be a continuous headline crawl at CNN and MSNBC
