Who wants to Marry a US Citizen?

[milliesmom]

New reality show that is network shopping. Supposedly the bachelor's are in the US under temporary visas and they "win" when they are chosen to marry a US Citizen. Oh boy....

I think this is awful..it will not help anything!!!!

[milliesmom]

Definitely a step backward!

[JennyM]

I think that is a bunch of crap

[jsierra1982]

that makes me f#$% sick! all of us who married for true love and are suffering and waiting through this whole process now and they're going to turn immigration into a feel-good reality show? and they're so worried about US showing PROOF that our marriages are "bona fide????"

[bohorquez]

That's terrible because now all I'm going to hear "well on the show it makes it seem so easy!" or "How can they do that?"

[HANNAH19]

They're just laughing in our faces, if only it were that easy ;they're having fun, meanwhile we have to live in incognito, scared that our lives could be ruined if we don't get that ""stu...............d" piece of paper, it's sad how our lives revolve around it!

Who is this Michelle Malkin

Who is this Michelle Malkin

She's an immigrant anti-immigrant...

Very vitriolic...

The comments (and there are a few that try to put out the correct information, but they get lost in a sea of hate) reveal what her primary supporters think...

YOU GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jsierra!!! Totally agreed!! :thumbup:

[shannon]

My dad mentioned Michelle Malkin the other day...now I know who she is.

[egonzalez1975]

That is the craziest thing. It won't even last a season. Just somebody in Hollywood exploiting everything they can get their hands on. :curse:

[USnoiva]

It's just another reality show that will never produce a long-lasting relationship.
Maybe I am ignorant, but wouldn't they have to go thru the same process? They aren't getting a free ride, are they?

[USnoiva]

OK so they are getting a "free ride" in a way, because the contestants are given a temporary (and immediate) "visa" to come and be humiliated on US TV?

[milliesmom]

I believe the contestants are in the US on visas that will soon expire. But still... Sickening none the less. And this Malkin person hired some Latino guy to be the spokesman for the show. Most of the contestants they showed on the clips were middle eastern or east Indian.

Whatever!

[hilarya]

This makes me wanna hurl! These people have no clue what we have been thru

[starlynnb]

I agree with you all. So everyone get ready for people to start on you again about why cant you do this or that.

"LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- At least she was being honest.

Russian national Yuliya Kalinina, 24, is accused of placing an ad on Craigslist for a "Green Card Marriage."

Yuliya Kalinina, 24, spelled out exactly what she was looking for in a husband in her Internet ad:

"Green Card Marriage -- Will pay $300/month. Total $15,000," the Russian national wrote in an ad placed on the Craigslist Web site. "This is strictly platonic business offer, sex not involved."

The ad caught the attention of the man who would eventually marry her on February 17, 2006. But it also alerted agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Kalinina, from Russia, and her husband, Benjamin C. Adams, 30, were arrested last week for what federal prosecutors allege was a sham marriage.

Robert Schoch, special agent in charge of ICE investigations in Los Angeles, said it is the first criminal case he is aware of in which people allegedly used the Internet to engineer a sham marriage for a green card. Watch as the Craigslist ad for a husband lands the woman in trouble »

Attorney Dale Rubin, who is representing Kalinina, said she didn't know it was illegal to marry for a green card, which he said was evidenced by the blatant language in her ad.

Adams' attorney, public defender John Littrell, declined to comment to the Los Angeles Times."
