Allow Mashup Artist "Pogo" (Nick Bertke) to Re-Enter the United States.

Created by J.H. on March 14, 2013

Mashup artist Nick Bertke from Australia, otherwise known as Pogo, has received a 10 year ban from entering the United States for not having properly navigated our overly Byzantine visa system. We demand that his ban be rescinded and he be allowed to reapply for the correct visa and enter the United States once again. It is not in the United States' interest economically nor culturally to ban artists from entering the United States, simply because they have failed to file the correct paper work. A 10 year ban is unjustifiable for such an offense committed. We risk losing the economic and cultural benefits that international artists, like Pogo, bring by visiting the United States. This is an embarrassment. Remove Pogo's entry ban immediately!
