Stories about poor Maria Summers being denied a visa to stay with her sick husband in the U-K seem on the surface to be unexplainable. The two have been married 45 years. What’s the big deal? It seems to suggest a fear on the part of the government that Ms. Summers will somehow end up applying for British welfare. Her husband David has been recently diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery days before she was slated to return home to Canada. The British government has said that Maria Summers must leave by tomorrow (Sunday, August 23, 2015). Most recently, the U-K said she falls short of the income requirement live in the country permanently. .
