If he was from that region then he would certainly have proven it by now and have refugee status. I know that sounds heartless, but the goddess said it better than I can:

Ok then. Let's just assume that everything you said is the absolute truth. Why is it, that you have no pity for a man who has commited a fairly minor, victimless crime by immigrating illegally, who has been punished with 7 years of his life being taken from him. Consider people who have assualted and stolen who have received shorter sentences, is it not an injustice that this man has lost more years of his life than a person who brutally attacks another human being, potentially causing them permanent damage. Who has he attacked? Where is the actual harm he, himself has caused? Why is it them that you have absolutely no sympathy for him, his plight, even if what you say is true, and I don't believe you can prove that it is, is far and away too harsh for his misconduct.
