Fox News has an expose written by an immigration lawyer on the growth of marriage fraud. "The easiest way to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States is to marry a U.S. citizen. There is generally always a visa available for you, even if the government has issued a record number of visas already that year. And you don't have to wait for the visa either, as it is immediately available, in the parlance of the Immigration and Nationality Act." In fact, "It's now clear that the 'business marriage', which was once something that depended on the lucky confluence of a willing U.S. citizen, a willing illegal alien and several thousand dollars, is now an organized business run like any other."
