I’d love to know who sold him this bill of goods, and no, it wasn’t “Hollywood”. $9000 is a good chunk of change and it went somewhere to get him here. If he has a complaint it’s with the people who talked him into this, got his transport arranged, and took his money. Who, incidentally, may well have taken money from the UN or other NGOs as well, to do so. This whole thing is a thinly disguised international trafficking racket with the U.S. on the hook for paying the final installment, and paying, and paying.
Some people pay as much as $100,000 to get inside our borders.
The long-term payoff of getting among these innocents is that good.
