I don't think anyone's all that "moved" by this guy's plight here....and even if they are, that's never been anyone's point. Frankly, I agree with you that he sounds like a douche. It seems to me that the problem everyone has is with the lame "morality" policies about entering this country and how prohibitive and possibly damaging they are in their idiocy and uselessness....regardless of whether they're applied to a douche or to Mother Theresa.
And the present tense he used appears to me to have been applied to what he was accused of, not what he himself asserted about his supposedly past drug use. He claims he stopped using drugs years ago in the article. He could be lying of course, but it's an important detail to consider in the discussion.
