Did anyone see the miniseries? "IMBRA is an essential tool in the fight against spousal abuse of foreign women in this country by way of marriage brokers. It provides these women with information vital to their safety, both before they enter into a marriage here and afterward if, once here, they find themselves victims of abuse. I urge Congress to pass this important legislation, which harms no one and may save many lives." ...
