Hypothetical Situation...

[bleeb]

So here is a hypothetical situation:

There is a person who is desparate to stay in the U.S. and the easiest way is for them to marry someone.

Now you are willing to marry them for the sake of allowing them to stay... in return, they give you a certain monetary compensation....

How much would you be willing to get hitched?

How so? What law states it's illegal to marry someone who is not a legal citizen of the U.S.?

I would get them on tape asking me....turn them in and get them deported...unless you get sex out of the deal too and the person is not hideous.

I would never want to be bound to someone who "bought" me for marriage to stay in the US. That's disgusting.

I believe that marriage for the sole purpose of immigration is illegal.

itis illegal to marry someone so they can stay in the USA. if you go to the US immigration website you will see that there are requirements to marry someone who is not a US citizen.

I am not sure what the penalty is these days, but a decade ago or so, the non citizen got deported and the citizen got prosecuted.

Being Lawful Good I couldn't do it for any price.


Unless it was Heather Nova or Anne-Sophie Mutter, I'd marry them anytime :heart: . Oh wait, you mean a chaste marriage, never mind.

100k isn't enough.
