This book reveals the various roles played by the marriage fraud brokers and others who aid, abet, or otherwise act as accessories to GCMF. Additional details provide the reasons why people commit GCMF and the methods they use in order to deceive immigration officials. Today, Green Card marriage fraud has acquired new importance due to world upheavals and the plight of refugees. The division in American public opinion has become political football and has led to various changes in immigration policy, often depending on the occupant of the White House. The study of Green Card marriage fraud can serve as a microcosm of the federal government’s involvement in crime control. The author puts Green Card marriage fraud in the context of current immigration policies, suggesting necessary policy reforms since current rules and procedures are ineffective in detecting such fraudulent marriages. In unraveling the mystique surrounding GCMF, the methods of crime control and migration control converge revealing the ‘crimmigration phenomenon’ with GCMF falling in the middle of this nexus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I The Crimmigration NexusChapter 1 American Immigration Policy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Macro and Micro Views on the Intersection of Immigration and Crime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Enforcement Aspects of Green Card Marriage Fraud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Criminological Aspects of Immigration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II A Case Study of Immigration Fraud: Cash for Vows \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The Research Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Defining Key Terms and Protection of Subjects\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III Inside the Green Card Marriage Fraud Phenomenon \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Demographics and Other Parameters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Fraudulent Transactions and Documentation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Explanations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Conclusions and Recommendations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042653831511,"sku":"9781793626370","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793626370.jpg?v=1750955033","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/understanding-green-card-marriage-fraud-9781793626370","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
