The State Department is super suspicious of international marriages due to all the loser white men with mail-order brides. High rates of fraud, likely to be denied.
They mostly come from places exploited by the west so good on them, but I can't help feeling kind of sad for the "losers" who are looking for love in an increasingly hostile and alienating culture. Can't buy love as they say. But also, American woman stay away from me as they say.
I didn't know, this isn't something I ever researched. I knew about cities with high refugee populations and have worked with those communities but didn't really consider how marriage visa immigration was being used. Makes sense now and kind of shines light on the Asian women I knew during my brief time in Columbus OH.

Makes sense. I didn't realize mail order brides were still a thing.
The women marry a loser, get the visa, come over and disappear. The existence of sanctuary cities isn't a secret, the whole world knows.
