From the NY Post:A slew of Russian immigrants are entering sham marriages in the States to obtain green cards -- and they're doing it in plain sight.
The Russian Advertiser, a Russian-language weekly, has an entire classified-ad section devoted to "delovoy brak," or "business marriages." Last week's issue had 34 ads from women and men hoping to come together in unholy matrimony.
One Sheepshead Bay man said he gets offers all the time from marriage brokers.
He said he knows half a dozen men who married young Russian and Polish women for cash.
A federal law-enforcement source agreed that it's a common practice in certain Eastern European and Russian immigrant neighborhoods.

Seeing that people can get married to prisoners without knowing each other I think anyone can marry anyone for any reason.
Marriage is not a religous thing anymore but a legal thing. People marry for money all the time why is it worse if you want to be part of this great country?
And no one has clamped down on this abuse?
Funny how we have in depth studies in the Queens weeklies on the plight of guest workers (I mean multiweek series for heavens sake), yet nothing on immigrant abuse.
They should match up the names of those looking for business marriages with anyone applying for citizenship. If there's match - automatic rejection.
Absolutely no way to stop it, correct? Last time I checked, it's not illegal to get married.
This happens everywhere, all the time. You gotta pick your fights.

Nor having kids out of wedlock, etc etc, but there is a social cost of this, and it should be exposed in unfavorable light to public scrutiny.
Anytime someone milks the system it should be brought up time and time again.
If the media can talk about American Idol all the time, it can spend its time usefully on something this, too.
How is this much worse than arranged marriages, at least both parties are willing
"Last time I checked, it's not illegal to get married."
Unless you happen to prefer a spouse of the same gender as yourself!

or another species...
same thing
The law is not set up to get married, get money, get divorced, get married, get money, get divorced, etc etc
That is an abuse and if so, should be closed.
"or another species..."
I guess there is hope for you yet!
Instead of allowing "gay" marriage, let's abolish all marriage. It's not the necessary socila contract (designed to protect women and children) that it used to be. There shouldn't be any state marriage, only religous marriages that only have signifigance to the person seeking the ceremony at large. End marriage now!
This is an abuse and should be stopped. They gain citizenship through illegal means and therefore are unethcial persons
Being shallow and materialistic myself, I can understand where these women are coming from. Hey, Svetlana, wanna come upstairs and enjoy the hum of the MTA fan? After you give me crabs, we can go out on my balcony and enjoy the fumes of the railyard, too.
It's all fun and games until this happens.
Sorry, I pay big money and require big dick.
Marrying a U.S. citizen to obtain a green card constitutes immigration fraud. Let's hope these couples joined in unholy matrimony fail their Stokes interview. Natasha gets deported back to the former USSR and her scheming, greedy spouse gets sent to prison. The individuals who are brokering these unions either get deported or sent to jail.
BCIS, are you listening?
So some young Russkie with nice looking titskies marries some old geezer for a hefty fee.
Then she fastens her nose clip...puts on a pair of dark sunglasses...bites the bullet and f---s him into a coronary.
She winds up owning his bank account and house complete with U.S. citizenship.
Better than a stretch in the gulag back home.
And if she's squeamish she'll hire a Russian hit man to arrange an accident for her newly acquired spouse.
Instant divorce at an added expense.
Never go out with a eastern bloc broad let alone marry her for any reason. They're system has taught them to be manipulating c---s!
Russians = arrogance.
Sorry but they are!
This is news?
old news. america has this notion that the more citizens, the better. like a numbers game
I met a russian woman who made me the offer.Stay away from Ivanna Fukalotsky
Ah, yes... so many funny and clever puns can be made with the name Ivana. I remember doing that alot when I was in fifth grade.
I MET SOMEONE BORN IN THE UKRAINE. WE MET ON RUSSIANEURO.COM. WE MET IN KIEV AND THEN I INVITED HER TO COME TO THE USA. WE BECAME INTIMATE AND WE GOT MARRIED. SHE SAID SHE LOVED ME A LOT. WE HAD A 25 YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE. SHE GAVE ME STORIES THAT HER FAMILY WAS SICK, ETC. SO SHE CONVINCED ME TO SEND THEM MONEY. SHE GOT HER PAPERWORK DONE THROUGH A RUSSIAN SPEAKING IMMIGRATION LAWYER. AS SOON AS HER GREEN CARD ARRIVED THE SEX STOPPED AND SHE STARTED " FLYING BACK TO HER COUNTRY " AND TAKING MONEY FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. SHE REFUSED TO SHOW ME HER PASSPORT. TERRIBLE PEOPLE. GREAT MANIPULATORS. EVENTUALLY SHE ALMOST BEGGED ME TO SIGN DIVORCE PAPERS. IT WAS CLEAR WHAT THEIR INTENTION WAS. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT THE UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION LAWS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. THE USCIS DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO MY COMPLAINT. THEY SAY THAT ONCE THEY GET THEIR PERMANENT GREEN CARD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THESE PEOPLE WILL KEEP ON ABUSING THE SYSTEM. WHERE IS OBAMA? I DONT BELEIVE IN MY COUNTRY ANYMORE,
