Due to irresponsibility, the guy's life is now a mess over a visa technicality, trapped in a bureaucratic labyrinth. While thousands hide in the US with no visa at all. I feel sorry for him, and frustrated that this couldn't have been straightened out in a few hours with a lecture, extension, and a fine. No money for the fine? Then detain him until someone agrees to pay for his plane ticket home. Someone besides the US taxpayer.
