The ever-widening investigation of the San Bernardino terrorist massacre has revealed at least two dubious marriages that experts say expose huge loopholes in the immigration system and continue to put national security at risk.
Federal authorities have charged Enrique Marquez with marriage fraud for his allegedly sham union with Mariya Chernykh, a Russian woman whose sister married the brother of terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook after first gaining residence through an earlier marriage. And of course, Farook's own wife, Tashfeen Malik, who was killed along with him in a shootout with police following their Dec. 2 attack, married her way into the U.S. under suspicious circumstances.
"This one family offers a study into how easy it is to get into this country through marriage," said Jessica Vaughan, of the Center for Immigration Policy. "If anyone can take advantage of it, then terrorists can certainly take advantage of it. It is a major security vulnerability."
Malik was a terrorist who apparently took advantage of lax screening to immigrate on a K-1 visa. The so-called "fiancé visa" gave her 90 days to marry her American citizen husband to ensure a green card. But while Mariya and Tatiana Chernykh have not been accused of any terror-related crimes, the ease with which they gained legal status and their proximity to the terrorists who killed 14 and wounded 21 in the worst attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 has critics concerned.
Neither of the sisters has been accused of wrongdoing aside from overstaying their visas, itself grounds for immediate deportation. The FBI declined to comment on their immigration status or whether any other members of the family are under investigation.

Looking at her pictures, I figured she got in on a K-9 visa.

So they’ll ruin it for all the poor guys who’ve found an agreeable mate in the Philippines, Thailand and the former Soviet Union.

And that was with make up on:)
This racket has been going on for 45 years and the feds are really stupid people.
I have been dating a POlish woman for the past year. When she came to visit me She had to personally visit the consulate in Warsaw. She had spent nearly an entire day for a long interview. Then, after approval came (after a long back ground check) a tourist visa. But that wasn’t enough to get in to the USA. She was stopped and pulled aside during immigration at LAX and held for 2 hours while they investigated her.
All in all it was about a 2 month process. But Poland is white and Christian.
Of course Obama wants the Muslims to walk right in.
Next time my Polish girlfriend come to USA I will advise her to say her name is Maria Gomez, she is a pregnant transgendered Muslim, looking for welfare, and how she can sign up to vote for democrats. Any one who dares question here is to be immediately be followed up with “THAT’S RACIST.”
There are so many obvious cases. Just on FB, there are skimpily dressed women declaring conversion to Islam as they announce their marriage to a second or third Muslim wanting a green card. For a few bucks some people have no problem helping a terrorist into the country or providing a safe house. The Feds need to go after these people instead of school bullies. Loretta Lynch announced that she wants Muslim parents to contact the DOJ if their kids are bullied.
Is it any wonder the hubbie was all for wearing burkas in public as to not be embarrassed?
I hear you.
I have dated more abroad than at home.
And returning to the US, you can encounter some really fine and some really burned out, surly customs officials.
Sounds like your lady got the second type. Best wishes in your adventure.
A white male marrying a foreigner is highly suspicious, whereas a Muslim is normal. Since they all get their spouses from overseas.
Agree...I don’t recall this being a problem before 0bama was in office but might not have been paying attention.
I have a friend who married a Russian lady years ago with this visa program and they’re both good people and have a very good marriage.
