Migratemate Offers a Convenient Marriage: a Partnership for Citizenship

Migratemate.com, the worlds first website offering contacts for marriages of convenience, officially launches today.

(PRWEB) November 30, 2003 -- During its months trial period, Migratemate.com received over 14,000 visitors and over 1,000 members, simply from word of mouth. The members come from over 50 countries, and the most sought after citizenships are for America, Australia, Canada, EU and the United Kingdom.

Migratemate.com founder James Franklin said: This shows the huge demand there is for people seeking citizenship of another country to meet with privacy, safely and without abuse."

he says. In many countries same-sex couples are denied immigration rights, and gay and lesbian binational couples are forced into a façade to save their relationship.

James Franklin continued: They are already advertising all over the world, often in unsuitable places, leaving themselves vulnerable to fraudsters, gangsters and traffickers. We are not encouraging anyone to break any immigration law, only enabling these people to have a place to meet free from danger and abuse."

The site was created from a sense of injustice, that a basic human right, the freedom of movement and settlement, is denied to so many people." said James Franklin.

And not merely denied due to their country, but their sexuality," he says. In many countries same-sex couples are denied immigration rights, and gay and lesbian binational couples are forced into a façade to save their relationship."

However, Migratemate.com is based on reasons not only ethical but economic. James Franklin explained: Capitalism is incompatible with nationalism. Free trade must be followed by free movement, not merely of goods and ideas, but also of people.

If we open labour markets to foreigners we increase competition and so improve efficiency. Only companies who hire undocumented workers benefit from the subsidy of illegality by not paying minimum wage or providing insurance.

Prohibition only creates a new set of criminals, as people wanting to be good citizens are forced to be illegal immigrants. These people are willing to risk everything, to cross the world for a new and better life. Such courage and creativity would benefit any country."

Please note: Migratemate.com does not facilitate any meeting, but serves purely as an introduction agency and not an intermediary nor accessory for any illegal act that may occur, nor does it condone any such act.
