I guess they are selling it to illegal immigrants. Im glad they are busted because its unfair to all of us that experience the agony of USCIS legal processing.

ok people i found the whole transcript i know i probable should post in different spot but i know every one reads k-3

BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Lou, marriage fraud in the name of a green card is hardly anything new, but this one does have a very unique twist as you just alluded to.

One of the primary leaders of this marriage fraud ring worked for the government. Here's what Philip Browne, employee of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and his sister, Beverly Mozer-Browne, pled guilty to today, that they arranged marriages between American citizens and people seeking green cards, charging between $8,000 and $16,000, that the American citizens who agreed to enter into these sham marriages were paid for their services.

Browne and his sister provided fictitious documents for the application process. Those applications then approved without anyone having to show up for an interview, because -- well, that's right -- Philip Browne was the one who processed the applications.

The scheme collected them $1 million during the four-and-a-half years that it lasted, from April of 2001 through November of 2005. They did not act alone. As you mentioned, Lou, 28 other defendants named in the 13-count indictment -- 26 pled guilty, never went to trial. One did go to trial, was found guilty by the jury.

And, Lou, the other, well, she hasn't gone to trial, because she's now on the lam.

DOBBS: Unbelievable.

This is -- you know, the old Immigration and Naturalization Service was regarded as one of the most corrupt, if not the most corrupt, federal agencies in the entire federal government. But this continues to go on and on. And to the credit of the government, they are investigating and trying to seek this out.

But this is part of now what seems to be -- I mean, the culture that's been created, in which we don't permit the Border Patrol to do its job, this administration does not, in which the Customs and Immigration Services are simply overwhelmed with the sheer numbers and their inability to process them, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, basically 3,000 agents in the field, trying to bring to justice 500,000 criminal illegal aliens, it is -- this is disgusting.

And this administration, I think, it is despicable what they have done in the name of free markets, open borders, globalization, and amnesty, comprehensive immigration reform. This is disgusting, what is happening to this country. And this is, to me, symbolic of it.

TUCKER: You're absolutely right, in that this doesn't stand alone. This is part and parcel of the whole fabric that you just laid out. So, it shouldn't be surprising, but it should be upsetting to people.

DOBBS: And the morale of those agents in each of those agencies I mentioned, no one could blame them for being literally depressed at what they're being subjected to and what they are being asked to accomplish with so little support and absolutely no direction from this administration, and an all-but-absent oversight from the U.S. Congress.

Bill Tucker, thank you. That's a deeply troubling story, and we will continue to follow it. Thank you very much, Bill Tucker.
