25. British Fox News

My guess is the story is being deliberately misleading.

1)Sky News is just British Fox News

2)Note these items:

"I don't really care. My parents aren't very happy about it,” Angel told Sky News. “The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever."

So this is the kid talking and 1) we have no verification of the police statement and 2) if the police did say that that is not verification of the position of U.S. Government.

Then there is this: “A spokeswoman from the U.S. department of homeland security told Sky News there are about 60 reasons to ban someone from visiting the country, but that she was not allowed to discuss specific cases.”

Again, no verification of the U.S. Government's position.

I say, if it walks like Fox, came from Fox, quacks like Fox, and smells like Fox…I call bullshit.

So is this kid really banned from America for life? Well you can’t tell from this tabloid reporting.
