Why wait, without a passport he would be an Illegal Immigrant. We have enough crooks in the United States, we don't need to import more of them to take those jobs too!
Yeah but he’s actually a refugee fleeing political persecution, not an economic refugee. The US has and continues to support legitimate refugees
Yup, we have supported legitimate refugees since Paperclip.
He also has an Italian passport, so that probably won't be a hindrance.
