Don't Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor....

I think we had something about this couple before, but there's an update, so here they are again. They're from England but moved to Maine with a legal visa, opened a restaurant legally, bought a house, and worked here for several years. One day, out of the blue, instead of getting their visas renewed, they received notice that they were being kicked out of the country. Why? Because their business wasn't doing well enough under a nebulous, undefined standard. They were supposed to be making enough to live on, and they did, but the government, which decided to "crack down" on foreign-owned businesses, said that their lifestyle wasn't adequate. So they -- and, apparently, several other Europeans who are in the same boat -- did everything by the book, came here legally, followed the rules, and are getting kicked out. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants get to stay and are being protected by a vocal band of politicians and protesters. Not fair at all.
