Wanting to learn everything is a good thing, and I certainly would like to join you in omniscience. But not doing some basic research, which would involve learning a lot less than everything, pertaining to what you advocate for as a practice in defiance of a nascently authoritarian administration is at least irresponsible. Not only is it a blogger’s malpractice, but if followed would likely lead to the ruin of personal lives, both of those of US citizens and the unwitting victims of their do-goodery.
Nick, here’s something you should know: the US Citizenship and Immigration Services takes very seriously the prospect of fraudulent marriage for immigration benefits. There is an investigation of every case, and there is an interview. I know because, unlike you, I have gone through that mill. There are severe penalties for fraud including jail time.
To post plans for committing fraud on the Internet and under your real name is, um… Is “unwise” a kind word for “stupid” you’d be fine with?
Do not do this unless you have a genuine relationship with a person born outside the US. Don’t get me wrong: it would be awesome if you do! But the idea that you could start a conveyor belt of marriages is a fantasy. If you’re not caught on the first fraudulent marriage, you’ll be caught on the second one a few years later. (You don’t seriously think that people have not thought about this before you, do you?)
Do not break the law, and do not attempt to cheat the system.
And if you are already married, so much the better: “The Moral Duty to Divorce Your Spouse and Marry a Foreigner Who Wants to Immigrate, While Trying to Persuade Your Ex-Spouse to Do Likewise.”
Good suggestion. Texted my ex right away that if she's ever in a situation where she has to leave the EU and return to her home country I can marry her so she can stay here.
German here. None of my wife came on spouse-visa, all on "family-reunion-visa" with our resp. German kid. Much easier. So, get to open borders AND pro-natalism - make kids abroad (and admit your fatherhood). Any sibling or spouse(!) qualify for family-reunion-visa, too. Also, less alimony-risk. Legal advice for Germans only.
I don't really know if the average type of person that reads your blog is a good candidate. (This post may be a joke so sorry lol.) Your readers I imagine are more likely to be from western European countries or if not at least from the affluent class from any country Western adjacent. These are not at all the type of people that would benefit the most economically or in quality of life for moving here to to justify the amount of time and energy both of you would spend getting them here. I imagine if they were a young industrious person from subsharan Africa it may be worth it but you made no qualifications for any of this. Just some thoughts.

This seems like a sure-fire way to corrupt and dismantle the fiancé visa program. It is not meant to be a human trafficking loophole.
Need to narrow the criteria. She should be an economist or at least an economics student.
It’s funny you should mention that, there’s a very good chance I do this in two years if she can’t get a student visa.
Bro wut
Wait, I heard that one before... https://web.archive.org/web/20161006072603/http://worldoptimization.tumblr.com:80/post/131312146249/100000-hours-introduction
The Moral Duty To Marry For Love
Do we get updates about who you bring in?
Will you try to balance selling this to the highest bidder (donating profits) and bringing in people you think deserve it?
Is this a joke?
I don't think most immigrants are into gay marriage, bud.
This is explicit marriage fraud. Do it.
Funnily enough, I would give a kidney to be able to move for long-term from Finland to US. Can men apply as well?

I would not joke about this. If you are an affluent American or European, you should do the same for your countries.
I know Nicholas personally, and I know for a fact that he is not joking here.
