It shocks and saddens me that we don't hand out visas like candy to unskilled laborers who do what any housewife can do in her spare time.
The man was a PAINTER.
It honestly doesn't matter whether he paints pictures or paints houses. What value does he bring to the United States? From high school student to unemployed junkie, anyone ALREADY IN THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY can do that job. Why on earth would we bring another person in to take a job from someone so that we can piss away more money on the unemployed?
and he was 15 years into the process.
He's like that homeless buddy from college. "Hey man, can I crash on your couch for awhile?" 10 months later........
