"I got an added bonus with my pardon.
I had come to accept the fact that I was never going to see the States because of my record. However, when I got my pardon, I found out I wasn’t on the US database. I hadn’t crossed the border since 1994, and my record was from 1996. The Grand Canyon, New York City, the outdoor aquarium in Monterey: These are places I have always wanted to see, and now I can."
