Lee writes "Maria Cantwell (WA) has succeeded and inserted the 2003 language for International Marriage Broker Regulation of 2005 into Appendix D of VAWA 2005, which passed this weekend.

This language would require all who seek to meet or communicate with a foreign love interest online to first pass an invasive and extensive background check. The foreign national client would also get the scoop on how the U.S. Domestic Violence and Divorce Industries work.
