A lot of things we havent done that we could have done. We could have studied more. we could have had more experts come in and testify and help us craft the legislation. We should have brought in immigration people who work for the Government of the United States to find out what is working and what is not working. I talked to the person in the Dominican Republic. the American consulate official who meets with those people in the Dominican Republic who would like to come to the United States. He seemed like a very nice guy. He made some mention about sham marriages. So we talked about that. As a U.S. attorney prosecuting a case where people created a sham marriage for immigration purposes. he said they wont even talk about prosecuting a case in the Dominican Republic. And he has seen lots and lots of sham marriage cases that were never prosecuted. Why do they have a sham marriage?
