Simone Davis, 17, has lived with her grandmother in Florida since she was 3. The grandmother, who adopted Davis after her British mother abandoned her, has applied for U.S. citizenship for the girl. But immigration officials are not only refusing to grant her citizenship, they are threatening to deport Davis. Why? She refuses to get vaccinated for human papillomavirus. Davis and her grandmother say she doesn't need the vaccination for the sexually transmitted disease because she isn't sexually active.
