American Husbands—Victims Of Open Borders

Juan Mann:

The marriage visa racket is alive and well as a means of circumventing immigration law.

And, since the 1996 amendments to the Immigration Act came into effect, visa fraud has been blossoming under a new guise—the use of "domestic violence" charges by aliens as both a weapon against American citizens and a path to a green card.

Under Section 204(a)(1)(A)(iii) of the Immigration Act, an alien spouse who claims that she or her child has been battered, or has been the subject of extreme cruelty perpetrated by her American spouse or fiancé, can get permanent resident status on her own. It can be and is granted by the alien-friendly U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without any proof or even further contact with the American.

(Men can claim spousal abuse too, but as a practical matter it's usually women).

The USCIS even publishes a "how to" guide for the self-petitioning spouse.

This raises the specter that the federal government is in effect facilitating a new breed of immigration fraud—false battery accusation against its own citizens.
