Jose Palomar packed only a small suitcase because he thought his trip to Mexico would be brief. Seeking legal permanent residency, he had no choice but to go. But now, nearly two months later, he’s still in Mexico and barred from returning to his home in the United States.

The hold-up: Palomar admitted that he previously used marijuana, which is legal in California but isn’t under federal law.

The 26-year-old Corona resident, who grew up in Anaheim, has temporary legal status in the United States. He’s married to a U.S. citizen and is the father of American children. He traveled to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in June only to fulfill certain requirements needed to be granted a green card, which would identify him as a permanent U.S. resident.
Part of that process involved a physical. And, during that exam, Palomar was asked whether he had ever used any illegal substance. He answered truthfully: He used to smoke weed.

That answer put the brakes on his residence application – and on the life he’s built in Southern California.

The government has denied his request for a green card and refused him re-entry into the country where he’s lived almost all his life.

“It happens all the time,” said Los Angeles immigration attorney Ally Bolour, a board member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

He didn't smoke once... According to the article he implied to be a regular substance user. They should have a regular drug test as part of the application process.

Not just us, but chances are, everyone who wants to apply for a GC has to pretty much be squeaky clean now.

When you are the United States, prime destination. You can afford to be ultra choosy. Should've said no, should've said it's legal in Cali, should've dodged and ducked the question. Nope. He hotdogged it.
