Story here. Excerpt:

'The new law has angered many men, who argue that there is no definitive evidence that violence is more likely to take place in an international marriage arranged over the Internet than in a domestic one. Unwilling or unable to find a spouse in the United States, some worry that the law could make it more difficult to find a wife abroad.

“We should have the right to correspond with, date and marry the person of our choosing,” said David Root, who has been involved with many women from the former Soviet Union in the past decade but has not married any of them. “The government shouldn’t interfere in this.”'

... how some of these women are looking to exploit American men, but lots of mention of how some of the men seeking foreign brides are abusive. Nonetheless, this is a much better (not as balanced as it could be though) covering of this issue in a MSM publication from the POV of the average man's interests than I have ever seen before.

If I understand one part of this article correctly, it is probably just a matter of time until foreign fiancees already in the U.S., make false claims of violence, then apply to stay here under the VAWA. (And that will merely be their first step on the way to becoming feminists)!
