That’s very sad. Even though speeding tickets and not having a fishing license can get you in serious trouble depending on the level you break them it’s wild that this can hurt your visa.

This reminds me of how PRs couldn’t return to Japan during COVID. US visa holders are in just a scary position.

I questioned why he would go to BYU then read this:

He is married with five children, two of whom were born in the States.

Yeah, game wardens can take your boat if you don't have a license. It's not often done, but don't fuck with game wardens. It's still poaching.
