[Why should men with questionable backgrounds, and convictions for sexual crimes be able to hide their pasts and lie in order to seduce women to come to America?]

First of all, this Mommy-state legislation (which will get overturned quickly) will NOT stop the predators from simply lying along with everyone else who will refuse to tell complete strangers (who are sometimes men pretending to be women) personal details.

As well, this legislation must logically extend toward American men meeting American women. Foreign women are not children, but this law is like Megan's Law in that regard: it is saying that foreign women are like children (with the bizarre and mentally sick argument that foreign women don't know how evil American men can be and need to be protected from them).

The form stuff will all be done on the honor system. A man will not have to put his date of birth or other identifying information that could be used by foreign scammers posing as women. The real hassle lies in the 48 hours to 6 weeks if ever that it takes the agency to contact the alleged "woman" about a form that says next to nothing (just a bunch of no's that each man will write about any criminal record - where 99% of the men are being truthful but the 1% who do have criminal records will be right there among them saying no) and get a response back from her that she received the form.

The law does not say that the woman has to agree to be introduced to the man. She just has to confirm that she got the form. The form, apparently, has to be in the language of the woman...meaning an agency supposedly needs to have the resources to translate things into 80 languages.

Gone would be the important days when an American man could just show up on a Saturday afternoon to be welcomed by a Russian or East European family who have always had a tradition of male suitors just showing up to meet their daughters who mostly live with Mom and Dad until they reach their 30s. In paranoid America, this must sound like anathema...but that is a good indication of why America isn't the best of places to look for a wife.

But now this is being legislated...by the feminists. It is bizarre and unconstitutional. As you have seen by the reaction of most males to this thread, this type of legislation can become a major swing issue in American elections.

You have to understand: Senator Maria Cantwell has vowed to put Internet dating sites out of business. At least she wants the ones out of business who do more than 50% of their business introducing foreign women to American men. There is hatred toward men who would bypass American feminists as marriage partners and severe hatred toward men who would date and marry with a big age difference.

So, besides knowing the intent of Maria Cantwell and the feminist following that got this bill pushed through a REPUBLICAN Congress, holding up my life for 48 hours to 6 weeks is a major hassle in and of itself. It is the biggest direct imposition to my personal life that I've seen the feminists do via laws (they have already convinced the average young American women to mistrust American men and not support the troops-that is a fact).

I am a Canadian as well as American, so I can just bypass the stupid forms.

But why are American men second class now in comparison to me and the German guys around me right now? Why do Canadian and German males now have more rights to simply logon to the Internet and talk to a woman who is not from their country?

Can't you see how this will be overturned quickly?
