Migratemate Offers a Convenient Marriage: a Partnership for
Citizenship

Migratemate.com, the world's first website offering contacts for
marriages of convenience, officially launches today.

(PRWEB) November 30, 2003 -- During its month's trial period,
Migratemate.com received over 14,000 visitors and over 1,000 members,
simply from word of mouth. The members come from over 50 countries,
and the most sought after citizenships are for America, Australia,
Canada, EU and the United Kingdom.

Migratemate.com founder James Franklin said: "This shows the huge
demand there is for people seeking citizenship of another country to
meet with privacy, safely and without abuse."

James Franklin continued: "They are already advertising all over the
world, often in unsuitable places, leaving themselves vulnerable to
fraudsters, gangsters and traffickers. We are not encouraging anyone
to break any immigration law, only enabling these people to have a
place to meet free from danger and abuse."

The site was created from a sense of injustice, "that a basic human
right, the freedom of movement and settlement, is denied to so many
people." said James Franklin.

"And not merely denied due to their country, but their sexuality," he
says. "In many countries same-sex couples are denied immigration
rights, and gay and lesbian binational couples are forced into a
façade to save their relationship."

However, Migratemate.com is based on reasons not only ethical but
economic. James Franklin explained: "Capitalism is incompatible with
nationalism. Free trade must be followed by free movement, not merely
of goods and ideas, but also of people.

"If we open labour markets to foreigners we increase competition and
so improve efficiency. Only companies who hire undocumented workers
benefit from the subsidy of illegality by not paying minimum wage or
providing insurance.

"Prohibition only creates a new set of criminals, as people wanting to
be good citizens are forced to be illegal immigrants. These people are
willing to risk everything, to cross the world for a new and better
life. Such courage and creativity would benefit any country."

Is this James Franklin a USC? If he is, I thougt I had seen it all but
it looks like in reading the article that he is trying to get people to
skirt the US immigration laws.

long-----it's because of stuff like this!!!

I can picture the interview at USCIS (for AOS) or at the consulate (for
visa interviews)

Interviewer: Where did you meet your spouse?
Interviewee: Magratemate.com
Interviewer: NEXT !!!!

He posted this to promote his site guys. Ignore it. I already passed
the url along to people high up at the DHS. Earns me a lot of cookies
sometimes by being their eyes and ears.

Who exactly are those people high up at the DHS and how do you pass it

Ex-gf's father works at the san diego district office.



i doubt he's in brazil. obviously he's not a USC cuz he can't even
spell "labor" right on the site.



I did write a msg to paypal and let them know they're making money off
someone trying to illicit the breaking of us federal law.
