Another great biographical article, Jon. I don't know where else I would've learned about his and his family's story - which obviously is more heart-wrenching than they should have to deal with. I'm glad to have at least learned more about him as an individual.

Nothing against dani specifically, but the story is that an asylum seeker feels safe enough to rep his home country... and people wonder why their is a backlash against asylum seekers here.

Good luck to him, but this is a great illustration of one of the big problems with our current immigration system.
