    I say we let him. Would be a great example to warn off others from fantasizing about same. I quess the downside would be a “holy” war on the borders of the us in about a decade.

            I dated an Indian woman for a couple months. One time we had to do a 10 hour car drive, I wanted to put on a history podcast so she says we gotta listen to something related to India. So we find the History of Ancient India Podcast. Joke was on her though, I fell in love with the podcast and listened to 10 hours of ancient Indian history which she got sick of pretty fast. Been wanting to visit India ever since. Anyways, here is the podcast, I recommend it:
