More on Fake Marriage for Citizenship

Some gullible people (recent immigrants seem to be disproportionately victimized) are apparently duped into believing that job training and certification programs (often of short duration and inexpensive) qualify them to do things they cannot. Children born in the USA automatically become citizens and have all rights to live here and back from abroad with no problem.

How is it for both the visiting relatives and the immigrant families when extended family come to visit? Then you have to go to immigration and lie to their face a couple times, all the while holding your own life together, and possibly missing out on someone who really loves you. Some on tourist visas try marriage procedures and it may be not easy since the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) officer can accuse you of visa fraud.

We all ready have an influx of illegal immigrants, and now some want to make it okay in popular culture to just marry an American citizen to stay here? As others have said, the laws are continuously updating as it is to keep these kind of scams from be perpetrated, and yet they want to make it the norm? So long as you get married for traditional reasons such as love and affection, it’s perfectly OK that your “green card marriage” results in an immigration benefit to you.

This is usually a cross-cultural marriage, although there are times in which that citizen may be an immigrant from the same culture, but just has become a citizen of the host country. Marrying a citizen of the host country may help the person then become a citizen of that land and stay there permanently. People who think their votes doesn't count, when it comes to the illegal immigration politics is wrong! When timid Governors, Mayors or boards of city supervisors should be carefully watched for how they vote. They forged their husbands' names on immigration documents and vouched for each other to get citizenship and jobs. Later, they divorced the men.

While fiancee and immigrant applicants obviously do not have to prove that they will return to their home country, several issues are emphasized by the consular officer in review of these types of applications. For example, the financial ability of the American sponsor is scrutinized, as well as the results of the medical examinations and police clearances. Some were primarily from Central America and South America, though at least one of the immigrants was from Morocco. The four companies that allegedly arranged the marriages were incorporated as immigration assistance services. The couples, including the Americans, face charges of knowingly entering into a fraudulent marriage to evade immigration laws, also carrying a maximum five-year penalty.

Deported for No License - True or False

Why do illegal aliens come to the U.S. in the first place? We've been to their countries, no? And it didn't seem that bad. But we're only seeing the tourist areas, for the most part.

One illegal said a good wage in Mexico is $50 a week versus $50 to $70 a day he can earn working in the Kansas City area. But what about Americans that have lost their jobs because of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? Instead, you have the Mexican President making speeches that erase our southern border by stating wherever Mexican nationals reside, there is Mexico. It is to the Mexican government's benefit to keep illegals invading our country due to the incredible amount of money they send back via Western Union. It is not only American corporations that contribute to the problems in Mexico. The bulk of the poverty problem is related to the vast difference between the rich and poor.

So what about driving on a stolen license, or a fake drivers license or with no license at all. What exactly happens to someone caught in this situation from another country in the United States illegally?

If they are caught, they simply return to Mexico and get a new identity and the process starts over again. Prior to the program, illegal immigrants from Mexico who did not have a criminal history were returned to their home country almost immediately, without jail time or a formal deportation order. Apprehended illegal immigrants identified as "other than Mexican," or OTMs, were given notices to appear at a future deportation hearing.

We did Mexico and the rest of Latin America a favor once, by establishing the 1986 amnesty, and what did these people do twenty years later? They aided and abetted their fellow countrymen to cross the border and again demanded amnesty for their friends and families. Just because Mexico is on our border does not give their poor the right to circumvent our laws. Now the illegals have more rights than the American citizen that pays the taxes to feed, house and keep them healthy.

And would it cause destabilization in Mexico and elsewhere that would make Iraq seem like a picnic? Some have lived right on the border with Mexico all their life and those sneaking across the border were monitored but never caught. Common consensus is we should charge Mexico and other "countries of origin" for the deportation costs associated with their soon-to-be repatriated citizens.

If you go to another country and work for an extended period of time you have a temporary license right? Illegals shouldn't be here and we shouldn't give them things for being here. I think it difficult to design legislation keeping a horde of Muslims from demonstrating outside of a courtroom today which will not be applied tomorrow to keep a group of Americans from performing the same activity. The illegitimacy is not in the act, but in the purveyors.
