He is an Irish priest who has ministered for years in a poor, rural area of South Dakota and the US government has denied him a green card, despite Senator Thune's request for intercession.
In a nutshell, this shows how messed up are the priorities of this government. Only the mendacity of it surprises me. I feel so bad for the parishioners who know they are blessed to have had such a quality priest guide their flock.
