Here is what you MUST do

First all of, I don't like the sound of this. This is a scam in broad daylight if there ever was one.

What you need to do is contact the ICE at the number listed here. It's toll free and 24-hours http://www.ice.gov/about/cybercrimes/index.htm

If you suspect suspicious activity beyond the whole immigration fraud---like terrorism, then you MUST notify the local PD and the nearest FBI field office (fbi.gov)

And don't be nervous about it. I've talked with federal agents many times, and they are nice people.

What could happen to the girls? It's hard to say, but my interpretation is that they will marry them and then divorce them. Not a good idea.

For one thing, they are very liable to get caught, and I won't say how, but they have a screening process for such claims.

And people in the USA who conspire to help them are also held liable. I can think of one case where a Serbian man married an Italian-descent woman in Florida at a young age, 16, I think, and they had 6 kids. Well, turns out he was involved in some terror plot, got caught and went to jail. The wife didn't have a clue, and her and her kids are still free, but it sounds to me like these 18 yo friends know what's going on.

What you need to get them to understand (I assume they just turned 18) is that legally, they are adults. You can argue that there are adults who DONT deserve such priveleges as our great nation gives, but the courts see it differently, and the ripe age of 18 is the red line and with the right judge they'll get the same treatment as someone who is 35. They could very well be looking at fines and prison time for immigration fraud alone, much more if terrorism or affiliation with foreign warlords is involved. This has actually happened before.
