Rise in sham marriages to beat UK immigration


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The number of suspected sham marriages by illegal immigrants has leapt by more than half in the past year.

Home Office figures for 2009 show a 54% jump, with 529 suspected cases reported by registrars in England and Wales.

The leap comes after the Law Lords overturned a government scheme designed to stop illegal immigrants marrying.

Registrars have told the BBC that marriage rackets are using Eastern European brides to provide other migrants with a toehold in the UK.

The scale of the problem has been highlighted in a special BBC investigation in which a reporter posed as an illegal immigrant - and quickly found people offering to help him marry.

Shhhhhh we call it the oil sands, god damn it I just gave it up :w00t: All the beauty in the world can be free or it can come with a price. It just depends on how much you have to gamble with.

It was always my understanding that from Eastern Europe beauty only comes at a price, unless of course you are dealing with some oligarch's daughter. I bet in order to pay for such marriage as mentioned a fiancé must be either an experienced drug dealer or a Somalian pirate. I wish to see how many Somalians a year marry to get to EU, maybe very soon the piracy would extinct by itself as they all would be in UK already... :)
