My International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. and this DOJ authorization bill. will give these foreign women knowledge to protect themselves. They will know if their American fiance has a history of violence. and they will know their rights should they find themselves in an abusive relationship. This bill will also stop what I call the "wife lottery." where men apply for several fiancee visas at the same time and marry the woman whose visa is approved first. This legislation is a giant step towards protecting women who use the services of marriage brokers. I want to thank the chairman and ranking member for including it in this bill. and I urge my colleagues to support it.
