Colombia court dumps 1920 law banning foreign ‘idiots’ Colombia’s Constitutional Court has dumped a law prohibiting foreign “idiots” and “cretins” from entering the country. The law was adopted in 1920 and stated that foreign citizens may be turned away if they suffer from certain mental illnesses or infectious diseases, or if they are alcoholics, “idiots” or “cretins.” “Those who suffer from mental abnormality, including dementia, mania, general paralysis, chronic alcoholism, ataxia, epilepsy; as well as idiots, cretins, and cripples whose injuries impede their work,” will be turned away, the 1920 law said. The connotations of these words has changed over the 96 years since the law was passed, and over time it has become an explicit form of discrimination. The court dumped the law because they believe that this discrimination violates principles of equality and human dignity, and because it uses offensive and excluding language. colombiareports.com/court-dumps-old-law-banning-foreign-cretins-colombia/

Jaja, yup judging by some of the posters in those sites, that law had not been enforced for some time.

Are there any other Colombian sites? I thought the one was shut down by boards, and the other one I knew of withered on the vine?

Those regulations sound perfectly reasonable. It's a shame the government has had to abandon them.
