it’s like the old story about Winston Churchill.
“We know what you are dear, we’re just haggling over the price.”
She was paid $5000 to marry the illegal....she paid taxes on that didn't she?
===================================================
.....questions arose whether her marriage to the Ethiopian man was legitimate...... or was intended to help him achieve citizenship.

<><> he didn’t have to be married to become a citizen.....
<><> he did NEED marriage to an American citizen to hide his illegal alien status...
<><> the fraudulent sham marriage hid but did not change the facts...
<><> he was still an illegal alien.

The crimes here are legion. Immigration fraud is a veritable crime wave......involves falsification of documents, ID theft, tax fraud.... and so on and so forth.
When immigration fraud surfaces....you know voter fraud, falsification of documents, ID theft, and tax fraud has also occurred.
They come here penniless, from places where they crap in a hole in the ground---and suddenly they're in the money.
THE US GOVT CASH HAUL IS HUGE cashing multiple US govt checks under several identities in all off these categories:
UI, SSI, Workmen's Comp,
TANF (temporary assistance to needy families),
WICS (food assistance),
subsidized Section 8 shelter,
ObamaPhone subsidies,
Utility Assistance subsidies,
School breakfasts/lunches/snacks subsidies,
$5000 a year EITC checks per identity.
Not to mention falsifying EBT apps claiming "need"---buying non-food items w/ tax dollars.
Falsifying sub-prime mtg apps---flipping the houses among themselves for a big profit---then skipping town---leaving the banks holding the bag.
And on and on and on...ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
Churchill. Love him.
