Why would anyone marry an illegal immigrant? The immigrants motivation would not be love but citizenship?

I think you answered your own quetion to some extent but just to add to it. It's simply greed and curiosity couples r not satisfied with wat they have, they want more whether it be money, sex you name it. And sometimes they marry for all the wrong reasons.

I'll explain this as best I can without referring to race or nationality!\n\nIt's basically because of loop holes in immigration. If someone has an arranged marriage to someone from another country, their entire family are granted the right to live and work in the UK - therefore opening the gate for more arranged marriages etc. \n\nAnd yes, the loop holes to need to be tightened!

What part of Illegal dont you get? Dont make me laugh just think IS THERE ANYWAY FOR THEM TO GET HERE LEGALLY? \nJust think about it pake & jerry. If you were a little bit smart there wouldn't be much your so called illegals  because they'll be here legally. Now let's see if you two have a little bit of brain to know that someone that does not have documents is called undocumented UN as of NO Comprende? Not Illegal no body is illegal in the world and nobody in this world is Alien because we all are Earthlings because we live in Earth. SO WHY IS THIS SHIT GOING ON? Just Plain BS. Close-Minded Sensenbrenner. It seems America is just not a free-country anymore at least for people that are not white.

It is illegal for anyone to get married solely for the purpose of getting, or helping someone to get, permanent residence in the United States. There are stiff fines and possible jail terms for people who are convicted of this crime. But we would be foolish not to address the fact that many people attempt to fake a marriage to obtain a green card.The law pretty much speaks for itself on what happens to immigrants who commit marriage fraud. You can face prison, a fine or both:\n\nAny individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000, or both (I.N.A. § 275(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1325(c)).\nThe U.S. citizen or resident could also face criminal prosecution, including fines or imprisonment, depending on the facts of the case. They are most likely to be prosecuted for either criminal conspiracy (conspiring with the immigrant is enough; see U.S. v. Vickerage, 921 F.2d 143 (8th Cir. 1990)), or for establishing a "commercial enterprise" to get people green cards (see I.N.A. § 275(d), 8 U.S.C. § 1325(d)).\n\nThe extent to which these penalties are applied depends on the specifics of each case. The government tends to reserve the highest penalties for U.S. citizens or residents engaged in major conspiracy operations, such as systematically arranging fraudulent marriages. But that doesn't mean that small-time participants in marriage fraud can count on a soft punishment -- though most immigrants will probably simply be deported and never allowed to return. \n\nDetecting marriage frauds is a top priority for USCIS. USCIS officers still quote a survey from the 1980s which found that up to 30% of marriages between aliens and U.S. citizens are suspect. That survey has since been shown to be deeply flawed, but its legacy lives on. \n\nIn order to detect frauds, the immigration authorities require a lot of proof that a marriage is real, including more documentation than for other family-based immigration applicants. They subject marriage-based immigrants to a longer and more detailed personal interview and a two-year testing period for couples who have been married fewer than two years.

It is sad, but in reality they are being attracted for a reason. Nobody forces the government to give them money and assistance. Illegal aliens do not make US laws and policy. Also, the businesses that hire them are never punished adequately. As far as legal entry, the costs are exorbant and the process takes years. It easy to see why someone would take the easy route.

Does your friend have legal or illegal status? If she is legal, she has nothing to worry about. If she is illegal, she should do whatever is necessary to gain legal status before she does have to go.\n\nThe United States is a nation of laws. We cannot pick and choose which laws we follow, or the very fabric which holds our country together will begin to unravel.\n\nTo those who say we should "overlook" this law because so many have been here so long, I ask these questions:\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant (NOT undocumented worker) is hungry? Is it alright to allow him to steal to fill his belly?\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant has to get to work? Is it alright for him to steal a car to get there?\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant is missing the señora and feeling a little randy? Is it okay for him to commit rape to satisfy those urges?\n\nWhy is it different, then, when it comes to breaking immigration laws? A law is a law is a law. We cannot pick and choose which laws we allow to be broken vs. those ones we follow.\n\nIf you do not like the immigration laws, elect someone who will change them. Until then, every illegal immigrant in this country is a slap in the face to those who immigrate legally. Immigration to the United States is not easy - it is not supposed to be.\n\nThere is no "right" to be able to immigrate here. You have to earn it. As with anything, that which is worth having is worth working for.

what's wrong with the country you are in now ? why do you need to imagrate? you should only marry someone if you love them and are willing to commit to them for the rest of your life. a marriage without love is not a good choice. give it up ! live legally and make a happy place in your  own country !

Anyone can have duel citizenship, but you need good reasons. But, I ask you, if you mean to be an American, as well as Indian. Do you want to be an American or not? America doesn't need immigrant's who are more faithful to their natural country becoming a citizen of us. We need loyal, honest people who will love our Nation and stand with her people, not divide us.

may be the question should now be, why do we hate illegal immigrants so much, cause they broke a law? or cause they are poorer to be legal? so does every one here think being illegal is a choice? how dumb is that, it is not a salad dressing, if they were giving a chance to be legal, they would definitely would, but we are so ready to toss judgment at the poor or the incapable, maybe ask dear old bush to make a bet easier for them, so they would come out of the ditches they live in and be a "good citizen"

If they love each other, why shouldnt they?  If two gay people who would totally honor marriage like it was meant to, shouldn't they be able to?  Why is it that a man and a woman can totally defile the purpose of marriage by making it some TV thing (who wants to marry a millionaire... or whatever), but two same sex people with a genuine commitment can't?\n\nAnswer to McFly:\n\nYa mind coming up with some real and logical why you think that, or are you purely motivated by ignorance?  have you ever actually sat down with a gay couple and bothered to understand them?\n\nAnswer to Blondie:\n\nSpoken to God directly lately have ya?  Whats his number... I'd love to ask him myself.

Some marry for convenience (e,g, "some" asians are obedient -- other are that way until they become American citizen and then leave the men).\n\nSome actually marry for love (or grow to love).  People always find a way to communicate.

I am a US citizen because I was born In PR but I know a family who are here illegally and I think is a very bad thing. This people come and work for nothing, never learn English, do not follow laws because some times they don't even know the rules! One of them came with a visa but it expired!! and she didn't care about it. They do not deserve the citizenship when many people make so many sacrifices to get it. If they really want to progress why do they start on the wrong way!

I think some illegals are illegal because they hate America, but they are not thinking it through because they are IN America.  I do think, however, that if given the chance, most illegals would happily embrace American citizenship, and do not hate America.

Its unfortunate, in relation to mexicans, that they have to leave their country because they are full of corrupt leaders who dont care at all about the people. Mexico is a beautiful country full of rich resources that unfortunately are not used properly. So the people have to do what they can in order to support a family even if its something illegal. That being said I dont believe they should get citizenship just because they demand it. There are other people in line who did things the right way who should become citizens first. I think they should try their best to learn english (many have), pay taxes (which many do), and do their best to become legal. Many of them dont like being here illegaly and want to become legal. Again in MExico its hard and more so for the poor people to get visas and passports. So they have few options.

You will find there are, but the assumption is that it's something less nice, that the man is only doing it to get immediate immigration rights and not because you are offering them a long term relationship. Even in the 1800's there were mail-order brides on the East Coast of the USA to go West.
