Revisiting IMBRA

I was looking into mail order brides again. I had forgotten about how stupid some legislation is. To find a bride: http://joinfreeanastasia.info

But no solid foundation of data underlies Sen. Cantwell's claim of "a growing epidemic of domestic abuse among couples who meet through a broker." There is no reason to believe that violence against mail-order brides is higher than against women in general. No evidence supports the criminalization of every American man who looks overseas for a wife.



And, yet, such men are easy targets. Men who seek wives abroad often explicitly state that women here are not worth marrying because they are too independent, ruined by feminism, or 'fill in the pejorative blank.' If some of those ideal wives subsequently say "goodbye" at the first glimpse of a green card, I can't muster much sympathy.



What I do sympathize with, however, are the privacy rights of people who are considered guilty until proven innocent. This is especially true when a government violates the privacy of its own citizens to benefit foreign individuals.



What view of the American man does the IMBA broadcast to the world?



American men are so predatory and violent that the U.S. government must protect foreign women by providing police checks before allowing the men to say "hello." The "Ugly American" has become an article of federal law, supported by Congress.Read more at www.americandaily.com
