The J-1 Waiver

I met this guy when I was back home last time who was a doctor and he moved from some country in Asia to Alabama. And I was like, “Man, out of all of the states in the country why would you choose Alabama?” And he goes, “Oh well I don’t have my green card yet, so if I work in a place that’s underserved like Alabama they’ll give me a waiver.” I was like, “Woah, that’s kinda a weird deal.” The government’s like, “Yeah you can come to the United States, yeah you, come on come on. But you gotta go to Alabama.” It’s kinda like a girl saying, “Yeah you can see me naked, but you can only look at my left elbow…and my left elbow is racist.”
