Federal prosecutors say they have busted a massive immigrant marriage fraud ring that made more than $8 million over the past five years by arranging bogus unions and filing at least 400 fake applications with Homeland Security. When the sham marriages didn’t work out because the U.S. citizens got cold feet, the fraudsters would fabricate fake domestic violence cases against them and then apply for green cards, signaling permanent legal status, under a law meant to protect battered spouses, according to court documents.
Eleven people were indicted in the fraud, which prosecutors said provided full service to “clients” by recruiting “spouses”—often homeless people—and coaching both people

Probably 100 times that many that they don't know about.

Why are so many foreigners willing to pay such a charge and commit fraud to live in a racist country fraught with discrimination, lack of opportunity and white supremacy? /sarcasm off/

It's embarrassing that illegal immigrants know more about getting around our laws than we do. How successful are they with the IRS?

“‘It is the utmost honor and privilege to become an American citizen, and the individuals we arrested today have allegedly made a sham of that process,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston office.”
You mean like Biden and the democrats have made a sham of the whole illegal immigration process? Let’s bring Biden and the dems up on charges! They are doing far more damage to our country.

Money-grubbing schemes abound. Our son once remarked that if the "poor" used there craftiness at an honest job, they would no longer be poor. I'm sure many of them know more about income tax than I do!

Aided and abetted by Liberal Organizations like Catholic Charities that meet them at the border and help them invade our country in many different ways....Including finding "sponsors" and now Marriage partners....Why am I not surprised....I don't know if America can withstand the assault by the FBI, CIA, Democrat Party and their Proxies like Catholic Charities!....Probably not unless the tree of liberty is nourished...soon!

The only thing the Feds care about is that someone made a bunch of side-hustle money without cutting them in on some of the action. "Wrongdoing" is OK, as long as you pay your taxes... just ask Al Capone. s/o

I'm glad the FBI is catching those people, they're obviously too stupid to be Americans. To pay all that money and jump through all those hoops when, instead, they could walk across the southern border,get a free phone and plane ticket. Shameful!

This being reported immigration marriage fraud case is only about 1% or less of all the immigration marriage fraud conspiracies that take place in the USA annually. The liberal media for over a decade has been using the low ball figure of 11 million illegal aliens being in the USA when just plain common sense will tell you, if you have been paying attention, that the true illegal alien population figure in the USA these days is surely about 25 million illegal aliens, most of them poor and generally uneducated.
The Democrats are out to jack that population figure up by at least two million or more a year through their “open border” policies and complete failure to enforce the immigration laws. Why are the Democrats doing that? The clear Democrat objective is to permanently change the US electorate in as many places in the USA as possible to favor them and their socialist politics and to transform the country into a minority-majority nation where a coalition of socialist Democrat minority groups as listed in Democrat identity politics make up a new majority of voters to keep the Democrats in permanent political power. That’s the reason, as the Democrats would not go along with their current “open border policies” if they ever thought that more then a small percentage of today’s illegal alien population, after being legalized and granted US voting rights, would ever turn up as future conservative Republican supporters and voters.

Ah...for the good ole days...when one man and one woman...yes WOMAN justice Jackson were joined together to protect the children born of the union....and to insure that through good and bad times they held together and met life's challenges...was it a perfect situation...not always...but at least it was a good alternative to today's assault on the family....

Now when does Ilhan Omar get arrested, serve time, and then get deported along with her brother/husband?

You mean like how US Congresswoman in good standing Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) married her own brother to get him into the USA? That kind of marriage fraud, or is this something different, where some people are punished and others are not? Give or take how Gay America considers, by federal law, that two men or two women must be considered to be a married couple.
