When I lived in the Boston area in the 70's and early 80's - all the Pubs had large jars on the bar - "HELP THE CHILDREN OF NORTHERN IRELAND" sort-of fund raisers, continously being filled with folding money and coins ... rumor has it those jars funded more ammo then milk.

Cat Stevens's charities are suspected of the same sort of thing. I don't know if either is true - but I understand why US immigration folks look into those matters very carefully. I understand why they consider who is allowed in to visit our country, and under what circumstances.

His attorneys are looking into the matter? Maybe Cat Stevens can change their mind ...
