#1 immigration status was under investigation.

For the life of me, I can't see why. We don't seem to be concerned about anyone elses status.

#2 One of the classic scams that GIs used to use. I am surprised that it still goes on.

#3 They aren't mexican (or 'latino') - so there will be a full investigation into their immigration status.

I wonder of the same consulate(s) signed their visa papers.....

#6 Eight U.S. sailors at a Florida navy station fraudulently married Polish and Romanian women in order to collect extra housing allowances, according to federal charges filed on Tuesday.

What they were too lazy to find a female servicemember to make an administrative marriage to gain the housing allowances? Just wait till gays are legal in the military. Look forward to a lot of same gender non-sex marriages just to do the same thing.
