At one point, I heard that the going rate for a marriage-for-citizenship deal was around $20,000.
Shack up with a Eastern European chick for a few years for $20k? I could use a housekeeper for a few years... why not? I've had crappy roommates that didn't pay nearly as much, so...
Perhaps I could move to Utah, become a mormon, and bring over boatloads. Twenty-thousand a head would add up quickly if I had twenty or thirty "three year brides".
I'd build a barracks for my wife army: it would be like the "Fight Club" house, but with Russian chicks out in the garden instead of space monkeys.
Otherwise, to an American chick? Fuggin' fuhgedabowdit. Bad return on investment.
