Until he was 25 years old, Eli Oh made his living by waiting tables off the books—in spite of holding a nursing degree.

His family arrived in San Jose from South Korea on tourist visas in 1998 when he was 11 years old, having borrowed money to move across the Pacific during an Asian economic crisis. Without legal immigration status, he weighed moving back to South Korea.

Help arrived in Oh’s mid-20s. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—the federal program popularly known as DACA—made it possible for people who arrived in this country as children to make a life for themselves with official paperwork.

How many out there hold nursing degrees?

Really.

If there is to be a screening process, filter out the folks who have useful skills/education, have them apply, and send the rest back.

Otherwise, send them all back.

Agreed, with one further piece of criteria. There needs to be an age limit upon acceptance.

As unpopular as this idea might be here...I can understand a person who was a baby or young child being brought here by their parents would know no difference. They had no consent and no other country than the US. But, from what I understand that is not always the case.
