On principle that he is a US citizen? In that case,, <here comes another Straw Man> why cheapen it by giving the citizenship to people who can't speak English, know nothing and share little of the culture? Why spend billions of dollars on illegal immigrants? As I already mention in another post, all private employers operate in a market place, that allows the pay to be only that. No amount of good will on part of the employer can change that. But before we settle to something stable like that, I think we will deal with a lot of upheaval resulting from billions of Chinese, Indians and residents of former communist block, who have been freed from the socialist shackles, who are score well on the merit scale, and are hungry to gain the living standard appropriate for their abilities on the meritocratic scale.
