If the only change is the skin colours are getting darker, now I find that a ridiculous thing to say, it's to do with many things changing.

I never said you should feel positive.
I was responding to Cherie who said nobody said anything was negative about it.

Obviously you felt negatively about these things you've experienced so I told that was what I was referring to.

The only thing I would say is, yes, green card marriages happen. But are they a large scale problem? To suggest they are requires facts and figures. Otherwise it's just a couple of unfortunate incidents you yourself have known.

I don't really venture into this part of the forum much as every time I do I spend most of the thread having to explain the context of a discussion with one forum member to somebody else who ventures in later despite the context of discussion being there on the page for everyone to read. Therefore less time spent discussing the actual topic. It's exhausting.
