Let’s stop and think... VAWA
      04/22/10 01:31 PM

Hi Roy,
Let’s stop and think for a minute about what is happening with VAWA: The false accusations and the immigration fraud:

A law was made to help women who are being abused by their husbands – specifically immigrant women who are married to legal US residents (Citizens and permanent residents) who stay in abusive relationships because they expect to become legal residents.

Unfortunately everything VAWA provides to these women does not require any proof. Police reports can be made by anyone and the police simply write what they are being told. Ex-Parte petitions for Temporary Protective Orders are granted without requiring proof. Friends and relatives of the immigrant women sign affidavits because they are the friends and relative of the immigrant women and they have nothing to lose by doing so.

In addition, when an immigrant woman contacts a VAWA shelter, the shelter operates under the assumption that women stay to long in abusive relationships and that women do not realize they are being abused. The VAWA shelter will thus work with the woman to identify every possible form of abuse she has allegedly been subjected to. One can only imagine what happens when an immigrant woman lies about being abused in order to get immigration and other benefits provided based on having been in a VAWA shelter.

Due to the above immigrant women deliberately plan to marry US Citizens and permanent residents in order to accuse them of domestic violence, get to a VAWA shelter receive a number of benefits: Certification, employment, assisted housing, education grants, relocation to another state, medical and psychological help and… immigration based on self petition.

The US Citizen or permanent resident suffers in the following ways:

1. The male spouse is deceived by the female immigrant to spend his money, time and resources. He is made to believe that her intentions are honest where in fact she is fully versed in VAWA and her intentions are to make the false accusations soon after the marriage and receive benefits: Free housing, Certification, Employment, Medical and Psychological services, moving assistance, education grants and… immigration. The innocent male spouse is deceived to spend his money, time and resources on a dishonest immigrant women. This is a horrible form of abuse encouraged by VAWA. I for instance lost three years of my life against my will and another year so far recovering from PTSD inflicted by the entire incident.

2. The male spouse suffers from the false accusations. VAWA accepts an Ex-Parte petition for a protective order or a no-contact order as evidence. The female immigrant is required to file the petition and thus commit perjury in court. These false accusations can potentially destroy the male citizen, prevent him from getting employment and make him sick as they did in my case.

The above are the two major issues I see in VAWA. I am prepared to fight in order to bring the necessary changes to prevent these from occurring.

The questions I have are:

1. What changes are necessary to prevent immigrant women from fraudulently deceive male citizens to marry them where in reality they plan to falsely accuse the male citizen and gain immigration though a VAWA shelter and the self petition?

2. What changes are necessary to prevent the false accusations once the immigrant women contacts the VAWA shelter?

If the above questions can be answered, we could put together a plan for change and propose it to Congress.

Respectfully, -
