Subj : The manifesto To : aaron thomas From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sat Aug 17 2019 23:41:00 Hello Aaron, >LL>What about those who marry a US citizen to get here? >LL>Are they also `freeloaders', as you suggest? > >That's not free; they have plenty fees to pay to legally migrate to the USA >with their new spouse. So no - those who marry a US citizen to get here are >not freeloaders. If a US citizen meets a foreign citizen in the US, and marries that individual, it would be deemed a sham marriage. However, if a US citizen meets a foreign citizen outside of the US, and marries that inividua, it would not be deemed a sham marriage. The reason for this is because the foreign citizen is viewed as having come here in order to obtain citizenship in an underhanded way. >LL>What about foreign students who marry US students at university? >LL>Are they also `freeloaders', as you suggest? > >Nope! Those are people who are paying the fees. They're not freeloaders >either. If a US citizen meets a foreign citizen in the US at a university, then why is that not viewed in the same light as if a US citizen meets a foreign citizen in the US? Are you saying that all a foreign citizen has to do in order to obtain US citizenship is become a student at at US college or university and marry a US citizen who is also a student? >People who lack the integrity to enter the USA through one of the many ports > of entry are freeloaders. It has nothing to do with entering ports of entry. A US citizen who marries a foreign citizen in the US is viewed as a sham marriage, the foreign citizen being sent back to wherever he/she came from. If both the US citizen and foreign citizen are students at a US college or university, and get married, their marriage is viewed as valid and the foreign citizen can stay, going on to become a US citizen himself/herself. In fact, two foreign students can marry at a US college or university, have a kid who is a US citizen, then fly back home and await their turn to come back. And to think that kid almost became president. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal. Grew up to become Governor of Louisiana. Would have been president, had it not been for Donald J. Trump. --Lee -- We're Great In Bed --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360) .
