Nice article, but isn't it about how people come to USA ... I mean the guy who had a business in Kabul got adopted by his uncle, the one from pakistan came on a tourist visa converted to asylum and the 3rd came from Egypt ... who knows how.
This piece has nothing to do with world politics but with how people come to USA for a better qaulity of life - better than what they had there.
Even this guy's other article "just a passport, sir", is about how a guy from punjab got to US faking as his brother ... now of course the finger print and validate them at US port of entry.
So, the author gets into a cab and asks the driver "so, how did you get into this great country?" LOL
