Re: Joe Guzzardi’s Column:
Fiancée Visa Means Unhappy Valentine’s Days
Guzzardi is exactly right about the importance of
eliminating the K-1 visa. As a victim of the racket
myself, I should know.
My "fiancée" and later wife was
a Filipina. I have heard from
immigration lawyers that the
Russian version of the con is even worse.
Basically, guys have bad experiences with the
contemporary version of
the
American woman and fall for the myth of the shy,
unassuming, eternally faithful and grateful Filipina
girl. But she doesn't exist.
In the culture of the Philippines, young women are
“THE”
cash crop. Every Filipina has sisters, cousins and
aunties who have pulled the scam and they all know how
to pull it off.
In the Filipina/American marriages I know of that
seem to "work" the husband keeps the wife under
his thumb. They aren't permitted to drive and they
don't leave the house without permission. If they have
jobs, hubby takes them at starting time and picks them
up at quitting time.
I couldn't do that, so my "wife" quickly took
to living in the far guest bedroom, coming and going at
will, sleeping outside the home several nights a week.
Being married to a Filipina and spending 20 years
near the
Mexican border in south
Texas taught me a lot about the
Third World.
Subtle
MSM propaganda teaches that they are morally and
spiritually superior folks, and the "mail-order
bride" outfits reinforce this.
I dated several American women long-term but couldn't
bring myself to make a commitment, eventually causing
the relationships to end. But because Filipinas were
supposed to be "different", I bought a pig in a
poke. How stupid it seems now.
I have also noticed how
assimilation-proof Filipinas and their
American-Filipina offspring are. The brides only have
other Filipina friends, speak only Tagalog, eat only
their native foods and seem to hate everything about the
US.
Their kids---even ones that seem bright and/or
attractive--- tend to assimilate downward, with
underclass black girl/boyfriends, welfare dependency,
illegitimate babies, and problems with the law.
Before marriage I made sure my wife-to-be understood
how old I was, and that I was not interested in starting
a
family. She swore it didn't matter, but I
didn't know then how little her word was worth.
Because of my history, and the propensity of
Filipinas to
network, I
know many people who are on both sides of the
racket. I have seen
Filipinas who have divorced husbands and made off
with big pieces of their retirement savings argue
vehemently about who did the best job of robbery.
My ex-wife has fallen out with her family because
they say she didn't clean me out thoroughly enough. They
all read about how much money changes hands in a
Hollywood divorce and think that is the norm.
I know men, invariably older, who have been wiped
out by two or three
successive scam marriages but are eager to give it
yet another go. When the woman finds out there is
nothing left for her, she cuts her losses and starts
looking for a new
sucker whose pockets haven't yet been emptied.
I think the main motivation for American men falling
for this is the chance for an older man to get a young,
barely legal, woman.
Fiancées are in it for the green card, then whatever
else they can get on top of that. I've reminded myself
of that dozens of times over the last few years. But it
is too late for me.
As for others who may be considering a trip to the
Philippines or Russia in search of a bride, I offer this
eternal verity: "There's no fool like an old fool".
