you hear alot about mexicans sneaking over the border, but there are
plenty of people who come here on marrage visas (possibly with the intention
of getting divorced after they have their citezienship.)
my question is,after the foreign and the american get divorced, should the
foreign be deported to their old country, even if they have thier citizenship?

afterall, they did just come here to be with their spouse,right?
so if they get divorced there should be no reason to stay in this country.

Here's a few reasons for you;

A job/career
Children from the marriage
An investment in the community

And if they have citizenship,..they belong here just as much as you do.

well what if they dont have a job, or children from that marrage?

As I said in my previous post, if they have citizenship then they are citizens of the U.S. and that means that it is their country as well as yours.
 
but if they get married with the pure intent of coming here and getting
citizenship,then all they are doing is manipulating the system

And how will you prove that they got married for that reason only?

Honestly it looks like your dad is a dishonest person but why should we use your father as the model for all people who marry immigrents?

This doesn't prove anything except that your father is trying to manipulate the system.

So is your dad manipulating the sytem as you called it or is your dad's immigrant wife? If it's her then he seems to be using her desire to immigrate to snag a 27 year old wife. Which is also manipulating the system.

She's smart for learning how to manipulate the system. I can't explain why your father would ever fall for it though, especially these days.

Regardless, it's not as easy as it used to be. Immigration has more stringent regulations regarding marriage visas. Nowadays couples actually have to prove their relationship and show evidence that they have been dating for a while and even once they are married, immigration officials can show up on their doorstep anytime to conduct random marriage checks. Although I am sure that there are people who still do it, who would want to put up an act for 5-7 years. It's not worth it.

Should these 'mail order brides and grooms' be deported? Although what they are doing is morally wrong, they are doing it legally and as such they cannot be deported.
 
Simple answer is don't allow automatic citizenship for someone marrying an American citizen. Britain does allow it and we've had numerous cases of people marrying foreigners and then getting divorced as soon as the paperwork comes through, multiple times, some women have been jailed for making careers of it. And to my knowledge it's not British girls going abroad for a husband, most of the incidences I recall being reported are of girls from the minority communities, second/third gen (very likely under family pressure) marrying to get cousin Ahmed into the country.
 
i guess its all ok,he gets to bang a 27 year old, and she gets a better life for her and her kids.

i guess i am just showing byist because a care about my father,and know eventually,s**t will hit the fan

:doh :doh
 
I would tell your Dad to smarten up, I'm an immigrant and my husband is American. When you apply for the marraige visa the American has to sign a paper saying that in the event of a break up where the other person collects welfare or uses any serivces medical or other that they will pay the amount they use back to the government and yes it does take about seven years to get to the point where the immigrant can claim citizenship and you have to have alot of paperwork in both names such as mortgage bills, lease agreements, tax bills, auto loans, utility bills etc. etc. for the entire time period to prove that you resided in the same place which is quite easy if you're actually married but even after that if they are no American born children and they get divorced the immigrant can only stay if they can prove that they divorced because of abuse with police and medical records, if there are children the sponser is still responsible for the immigrants bills and the immigrant may be forced to reapply when the children are of age and can sponser him/her. So basically your Dad could get really screwed and end up supporting this woman nad her children if she leaves him after coming here.
