He clearly was a good working person, married to a US citizen, presumably no major criminal record and yet this happens. Is there no path for him to get a do-over, from Mexico, where his wife sponsors him and he can get legal papers and come back? I get it if everyone in the family is undocumented, but these cases confound me.
