Chinese spies ‘sham marriage’ scandal exposes ‘targeted’ national security threat at major US base: Waller

CSP Senior Analyst J. Michael Waller joined Fox News to discuss how a recent Chinese ‘sham marriage’ scheme exposes national security concerns.

A former CIA operative says that a recent alleged “sham marriage” scandal involving U.S. Navy sailors marrying Chinese citizens exposes a “targeted” national security threat focused on a major U.S. Naval base, potentially opening the door to foreign spies.

According to court documents, Jacinth Bailey and Morgan Chambers, both Navy sailors based in Jacksonville, Florida, were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit marriage fraud after they allegedly accepted thousands of dollars from Chinese nationals in order to enter sham marriages.

Both Bailey and Chambers allegedly took part in a plot where American citizens marry Chinese nationals for the sole purpose of getting green cards. According to Stars and Stripes, Bailey was assigned to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier as an aviation boatswain’s mate.
