A couple of reactions. First, I think Wander Franco's situation reveals the level of desperation that occurs in developing countries. It is sad. And for Wander Franco, given his means, to take advantage of that...he's a douchebag. Actually, no. A-Rod is a douchebag. Wander Franco is something beyond that. He clearly doesn't deserve to work in the United States again.

Second, as much of an uber-douchebag that Wander Franco appears to be, he's not as dangerous as some of these MS-13 gangbangers that apparently have come into the country unimpeded recently. And I say this as a second generation American who believes that the US should generally be magnanimous toward immigrants.
