Immigration

If you’re hoping to use a green card marriage to stay in the U.S, then you might want to watch what you’re posting. The link below is to an article that was posted by an immigration lawyer. The article speaks about this case where a couple got in trouble by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services because the husband’s Facebook page contained photos of him constantly with a woman other than his wife. The USCIS had investigated the husband’s Facebook page and had found the photos. After an intense investigation, they found out the woman was the husband’s actual girlfriend. They realized that the couple hoping to obtain a green card for the wife were not in a real marriage and they denied the couple a green card. If you’re caught trying to pass off a fraud marriage as real you can face huge fines and even jail time. With the high risks involved you’d think people wouldn’t be willing to try to pass off a fraud marriage as real. However, that just goes to show you how desperate they are to escape the life they already have. Sometimes I think that when you’re born into a life of privilege you forget how lucky you truly are. Most people in the United States are immigrants. Most of our ancestors didn’t originate in the United States so technically all of us are immigrants as well. In thinking about the article do you think that’s ethical that the USCIS can check your social media and may reject your application based on what they find? How much of a role should Facebook play in these situations? Remember we don’t always get to see the whole story of someone’s life. Think about the advantages you have had that others haven’t before you judge.
