Looks a lot to me like one of those "See how this works?" messages. You let our wedding guest go and we let your tourist go.
Who the f- goes to the Mariana Islands any-damned-way? They are US possessions, used as bases during WWII because they are within round trip of mainland Japan. Guam is a US territory and the Northern Marianas Islands are a Commonwealth of the US. They're all rocks in the water. I could think of better places to spend my vacation time :rolleyes:
