The U.S. government approved more than 5,000 immigration requests for visas or green cards from foreign adults who asked to bring child spouses, or boys and girls under the age of 18, to the country from 2007 to 2017, according to the results of a Senate committee investigation.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which considers these types of requests for admission prior to the State Department's final approval of them, granted exactly 5,556 approvals to adults over a 10-year period, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee wrote in a report issued Friday.
Another 2,926 applications in which the minor asked to be admitted with his or her adult spouse were also approved. Approximately 200 minors filed petitions seeking to come to the U.S. with an underage spouse.

Why don't these law makers do their job and protect the U.S.A.
I am tired of them being paid to resist and hurt American's. They are not hurting the good president, he will be fine. They are hurting their employers.
It's really a form of slave running.
CHILD BRIDES!!!!!!! Thought that if it was in caps you could understand what that means better.
