No, I wouldn't say that. My brother's girlfriend would actually prefer to leave things as they are. She's that afraid of returning to Mexico and marrying there as they've been advised to do. Plus, she'd have to remain there for one year after which it's likely but not inevitable that she will be given a green card.

So no. I don't personally believe he's being used. He doesn't wish to continue as they are mostly because he's ready to have children and if she were caught here illegally she could be sent to Mexico with no hope of ever returning to the US for a period of at least 10 years. He deeply fears that course of events.

Thats because the government is not that stupid and decided to close that loophole to help prevent fraudulent green card marriages.
With the going rate of very short term marriages throughout the population it's sort of laughable to assert that any marriages are considered fraudulent without admitting that most are.
