Our Allies in the "War on Evil"

This isn’t necessarily too political or controversial for this group – but it is unanswerable, imo.

Thanks so much to justme.

I have to admit that I am experiencing a loss right now. One of the groups who strongly opposed any and all rights for homosexual persons was a group of South American Immigrants. They were heavily involved in the production of false ID for illegal immigrants. They later became involved in “arranging for illegal immigrants to become legal”. The deal was that they would find a gay Mormon man who was willing to marry in illegal Brazilian Immigrant so that she could stay in the U.S. legally. This was run by a group of Mormon Converts. They promise the gay Mormon male that he will be able to receive all of the blessings of eternal marriage and celestial exaltation if he will marry an illegal Brazilian Mormon convert who is residing in the United States. They refer to the practice as “spotting”. Spotting means marrying the illegal immigrant so she can become legal. This group is extremely invested into making sure that Mormon homosexual males in Utah are never allowed to marry into same-sex unions because it would destroy their spotting activity.

The deal is that the illegal immigrant woman marries the man but NEVER consummates the marriage. This is exactly why they want only homosexual males. Again, the males are lured with the promise of eternal, celestial, heterosexual marriage if they marry these women. They may also be told that if they don’t marry these women, the group will “out” them as homosexuals and they will be excommunicated.

After the marriage, the women often leave the men (taking plenty of their money with them). Some of these women are actually already married and have families living in South America. I strongly oppose these groups but I am told that I must never oppose them because they are doing God’s work in working to outlaw same-sex marriage in Utah. I hate the fact that we have to be their allies and friends because we need their votes and support on capital hill.

Thanks, MisterCurie,

I wanted to post an example of Marriage Fraud so that people understand what it is. This was copied and pasted from a U.S. Immigration Site:

St. Paul, MN – Three Chinese citizens were recently convicted of a marriage fraud scheme, designed to help Chinese nationals obtain United States Green Cards and citizenship through marriage. The three men were convicted of aiding and abetting marriage fraud and conspiracy to commit marriage fraud by a federal jury in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mingwen Yang, Guangping Lin, and Yanxia Tang were found guilty of setting up a sham marriage scheme, in which U.S. citizens would be paid up to $25,000 for marrying Chinese citizens so that the Chinese nationals could attain United States immigration benefits. All three convicted face up to 10 years in prison. The fraudulent marriage scheme is believed to have operated from 2002 to 2007. There are a total of 40 other defendants involved, 21 of whom have already plead guilty to conspiracy charges. U.S. Attorney Frank Magill commented: “The goal of this conspiracy was for individuals to profit by assisting Chinese nationals in illegally obtaining visas and other immigration benefits. These convictions and plea agreements prove that the lies and deceit used by some to violate our nation’s immigration laws won’t be tolerated, and that we will maintain the integrity of our nation’s borders by prosecuting these types of crimes.”

Ok, we have our own version of the scheme here in Utah. I do not know at this time exactly how large this group actually is, but it could end up being even bigger than what happened in St. Paul if you count Southern Utah and Parts of Arizona.

This is a copy and paste:

The group came to the attention of authorities in 1999 after complaints from the Mexican consulate said it was selling identification cards for $200 to illegal residents that ask the Immigration and Naturalization Service not to deport them. The money also allowed them to place their pictures in a book that was given to politicians in Washington, D.C., to explain the plight of illegal immigrants whose children are citizens.

The consulate and state residents complained to the Idaho and Utah state commissions on Hispanic Affairs.

This group is called, “America Forever” and it means that one can stay in America forever. The ads run by America Forever in the Salt Lake Tribune to combat the Common Ground Initiative are very offensive and cannot be posted here. They are a real political fire hot potato. All I have asked is that the Church disassociate itself from this group completely and “Forever”.
