Internet provides an easy way to concretize marriages with foreign women. Out of 10 of these marriages 8 are  so-called "gray" marriages, in particular with asian women (filipinas,thai,chinese), that is to say a fake engagement with husbands usually European or American who are unaware of the true purpose of the meeting which is money and U.S. or European passport.

Most of these women are making blackmail with the child's couple (taking him back to her country in Asia) in case the US husband refuses to comply with her financial demands by diverting incomes and assets from the family holdings and property, generaly to purchase lands in their countries.

It seems that the highest risk one could take in this kind of matter is with filipinas women because of the easiness to corrupt notaries in their country.  

After a few years the family assets in the States are emptied completly and then the asian "bride" divorced and seek another opportunity. often with the help of her community.

In every case these “ladies” were backed up with the complicity of their family in Asia for whatever arrangements is needed or with family members already settled down in the States or with other people from their native community which in actuality represents their “real” family in the States.

It is purely and simply an organized plunder and a destitution of all the family assets perpetrated "legally" and silenced socially.   

Once these facts are brought into light and that the husband is becoming aware of the critical situation it is too late and no legal remedy or specific help is available for the ruined family.

            Consequently,it would be urgent to implement a specific regulation with an aim to maximize the defense of US citizens against this most despicable misdeed perpetrated by these asian women and their “supportive” network.

              To this end it would be wise:

1. to set strict filters before these "brides" receive a
    visa for "marriage"from the US Embassies , 

2. a legal control should be applied on the basis of a
    declaration of assets before the marriage, 

3.  periodically,an audit of the household financial flows
     should be carried out,

4. a social and psychological assessment 
    should be implemented before the marriage,

5. no automatic US citizenship,

6. a probation period of 5 years,

7. to train social workers into this kind of specific fraud,

8. to inform every potential US citizen interested in
    this kind of marriage about the heavy risks involved,

9. to inform every asian "bride" of her obligations and
    the consequences in case of "gray marriage",

10.to sign a  marriage contract which is written
      specifically for this type of highly risky
      engagement.

so that any marriage fraud could be detected or prevented as soon as possible.

In case of fraud it should be possible :

1. to file a complaint rooted in specific new legal
     grounds ("scam marriage"), 

2. a compulsory return to the country of origin,

3. the recovery of all the family assets fraudly acquired,

4. the loss of the american citizenship,

5. a legal child protection should be implemented once 
    the fraud is detected,

6. jail sentences for the worst cases , 

7. no new visa should be granted to them or any
     member of their family,

8. the seizure of personal property acquired during
     the "marriage",

9. an international public list of fraudulent marriage
    scammers should be created and viewable on internet.

      Call on your member of the House of Representatives to take action so that a specific legal protection is voted against this kind of "silenced" crime and that  those unfortunate American citizens can defend themself legally and protect their children.

   Make this petition known worldwide.
