This technically bars you from admission to the United States, though in the past celebrity performers and athletes could apply for (and usually get) a waiver.
Looks like there's a new Sheriff in town.
I have driven in the Korea Town part of Los Angeles. There I see the worst drivers I have ever seen. The thought of a serial drunk Korean driver gives me the chills.
Good. We've got enough immigrant drunk drivers.
Kang is a big part of the team and will be missed. It is ironic though that a DUI gets you barred as a legal immigrant, but won’t get you expelled as an illegal immigrant.
MLB players have been having visa issues for decades and decades.
It is a rite of spring.
Good! We’ve had too many innocent Americans murdered by drunken foreigners.

History has shown that DJT is a Phillies fan.
Good. It shows the complex system is working - felons abroad are not allowed into the United States at least as a first cut.
Now this case can be kicked upstairs for special review and consideration. If this man proves to have special skills, and not be a danger to the USA (which seems to be the case) then he can be allowed in.
This is how intelligent systems work
After one trip where I could have leaned my head out of the window and rested it on the side of a truck that was in the "lane" next to us, I told the driver that, on the next trip, I was going to bring a socket wrench set and start undoing lug nuts from wheels and paneling from nearby trucks.
What became a running joke in our office for the rest of my tour.
And just an aside for all of you who had tours to Korea up at Camp Casey ... do any of you know why newly-arrived soldiers were called "turtles"?
A lawyer friend of mine said that it was very probably due to my *very* common Irish name having appeared on some watch list and,having seen it,they went to work.I was allowed in after those 90 minutes.
Three drunk driving convictions in any court of any civilized nation should exclude aliens from entering the country.
GOOD ! (Mets fan)
Jung-Ho?
So how exactly is that pronounced?
I wonder how many Koreans with three DUIs that don’t play third base for the Pittsburgh Pirates were denied visas but it didn’t make the news.
I suspect it's nothing more than typical bureaucratic BS.........That crap happens more often than not.
Back in 2006, my company's HR headquarters in Troy, MI, received a call from a British contractor at one of our satellite plants in the southwest objecting to the fact he was issued a termination notice from his plant's HR office. The reason being, his work visa was expiring at the end of the month and he never produced proof that it had been renewed......
His excuse was, and I believe him, he had submitted all the paperwork on time but somewhere along the line the govt. was screwing it up.
In compliance with the law, we had to fire him but we also told him that once he gets his visa in order, we'd take him back if the opportunity was still open.
