Re: Interesting PR Web article on immigration site offering MOCs

If true, the people who are responsible should be put in jail for

advocating a marriage whose primary goal is immigration.



Marriage is a sacred union not a tool for better material life.

Money and higher standards of living do not justify using

every possible tool to immigrate.



It is immoral conduct like this that gives power to anti-immigration

and racist forces.
