Giovanni Dos Santos is just the latest high profile star to pledge allegiance to the conquistador’s banner, with Ronaldinho claiming worship of the Magna Carta on Monday. The result? Immigrants everywhere are rejoicing that the code to bypassing lengthy citizen petitions has been cracked. We’re positive soccer camps will spring up in the wasteland of the US/Mexico border some time soon.
