The Washington Post had a front page article on an illegal immigrant marriage scam that was occurring in Arlington Virginia. Where illegal immigrants would pay to get married in order to obtain citizenship in the U.S. It took four years for authorities to complete the investigation of this scam. But to me the money quote comes at the very end of the article where the judge in the case shows at least he gets what the basic problem is in regards to illegal immigration:
"U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee offered a few words of comfort to Chepkwony at her recent plea hearing. But his sympathy only went so far.
"America is composed of -- is a nation of immigrants," he said. "Everyone here came from somewhere else. However . . . there are rules on how one can immigrate to live here permanently."You did not follow the rules."
