Daily the U.S. is faced with challenging issues concerning illegal immigration but the most problematic of them all is immigration fraud by marriage. U.S. Colleges and Universities have to do more for both undergraduate and graduate students being targeted by foreign nationals for citizenship through fake marriages. In many cases, these fake marriages end with more than a broken heart but with false statements of spousal abuse, in order to stay in the U.S. For example, through VAWA (Violence against Women Act), false statements of abuse can be made against an American spouse without their knowledge, thus, leading to citizenship. This protection is offered for both men and women and unfortunately many have misused this protection to stay in this country. A lot of times this will also mean the accused American spouses will be left with not only a false record but spousal support and other hard outcomes due to the false marriage. So, please tell President Obama to create a model that will help colleges and universities protect our young people in colleges and universities from such terrible circumstances by implementing awareness projects that will help college and university students avoid such harm. In addition, please ask President Obama to re-examine and re-address the VAWA clause, which is being inappropriately misused for the purpose of gaining citizenship. We have to start today to create fair immigration practices that will benefit society as a whole and remove the harm that comes from poor immigration policies and practices.Thank you for your support as we help to change immigration in the U.S. one piece at a time.
