Single seniors should marry DACA kids

63. Civil disobedience is normally intended as a protest against an unjust law.

Is the unjust law this action is intended as, a protest against the deportation of DACA participants, or against the law prohibiting sham marriages? There are many ways to protest DACA deportations which would involve civil disobedience, just as MLK protested racial discrimination - protests, nonviolent demonstrations - which are very likely to happen anyhow.

If you think the law against marrying to obtain favorable immigration status is unjust, consider that the law was enacted in the first place to prevent the exploitation or sex trafficking of immigrants in some cases, or the defrauding of the American spouse (since there is often a financial transaction involved), or the admission into the U.S. of terrorists or criminals. If the system is clogged up by fake marriages of DACA people, the legitimate purposes of the law would be thwarted.

And realistically, 800,000 people aren't likely to find another 800,000 people willing to participate in a fraudulent marriage, since the marriage has to occur before the immigrant applies for a green card.
