A story: My nephew needed a concrete guy for a project. One of his subs sent over a guy who didn't speak a word of English. Alex knows enough to communicate. The guy came from Caracas, Venezuela. He went to school there and got a degree in journalism. When he wrote about the gov't, that was it. No questions. No discussion. They took his money, his house, everything. He packed his family up and walked here. It took them 9 months. He did get a work visa. Now, he does construction.
