The U.S. conservative political commentor Candace Owens was refused a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement because she had been banned from another country, immigration officials said Thursday.
News of the ruling came weeks after neighboring Australia also rejected her visa request, citing remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II.
Owens is scheduled to speak at a series of events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March next year. Tickets remain on sale and there is no acknowledgement on the promoter’s website that she has been refused entry to both countries.
If she doesn’t have a citizenship in another country it is just this side of not happening that the sates would leave her stateless as the rules currently stand.
Apparently not everyone knows what a joke is. But thankfully you’re here to be mr literal.
I don’t know if the rules have changed since the 1930s, but when my Grandfather, a German Jew, was granted UK citizenship, his nationality was put down as stateless.
So people, at least in the 1930s, could be stateless.
The german government of that era wasnt really big on following the rules
The British government was and they were the ones who put stateless on his papers.
