This is actually rather sad. If you’re single. . . . beware!

DENVER (CBS4) ― Roza Alexanyan from Russia married Chris Hoppel on May 10, 2005. He says her "green card" arrived May 26 and she disappeared the next day fleeing to a shelter saying Hoppel had abused her.

A former immigration enforcement agent says he is seeing an "epidemic" of fraudulent marriages where foreign women marry American men, then claim domestic violence to escape the marriage and legally remain in the U.S.

"What happens is they enter into a one-sided sham marriage to defraud an American citizen into believing they love him. And once they get in, they allege domestic violence to get themselves out of the sham marriage and to throw off suspicion this was a sham marriage to begin with," said John Sampson."It's something completely different and pernicious and vile to seek out a U.S. citizen and run a scam by them and entice them into marrying them and not only abandoning and emotionally abusing them, but falsely accusing them of a heinous act. They allege the U.S. Citizen abused them somehow and file paperwork with (the U.S. government) … and they're here to stay," said Sampson. "They have an ace-high flush."

And this surprises anyone? I mean if they were not doing it this way, they would do it illegally somehow. It never ceases to amaze me the extent these criminals will go to for a piece of the american taxpayers wallet.

It's so sad. The criminals rule the roost and the rest of us, including those with the best intentions such as your friend, suffer.

It is tearful when as an american that once belived everyone wanted to be here to become part of the usa and respected our great country, now they only see us as the cash cow.
I know lot of folks that feel the way I do that indeed did go the legal way and have as much disdain and wonder why we gave up our rights to let this crap happen.

Well, some people have it coming. Specifically the people who go overseas to get marriage brokers to link them up with a foreign woman. Pleeaaase, do they really expect "love" out of that? They don't have the tiniest inkling that maybe the female is marrying to get out of poverty and into a nice house? It's wrong, but foreseeable.
Now, if I met someone I hit it off with, dated them and ended up marrying them...then figured out they'd strung me along? Yeah they wouldn't get a green card because they'd be six feet under...
