Could Repairman Jack Come In From The Cold ?

Could Repairman Jack Come In From The Cold ?

Jack would go to a country in which there had been extreme strife and much destruction of records.  He would come to the United States as a refugee.  Citizenship would be a piece of cake, since he would marry Gia, which was the point of the exercise.  It would be too much of a spoiler to get into what happened, but I thought the plan had quite a bit of merit and might well have worked.  Something to think about if you have been living off the grid and have a lover who would like you to legalize things.  Maybe if you don’t have as much baggage as Jack, you might want to try the hard-core hippy parent story first.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
