Now if you want to take away those standards then it should be the same for all.    But then you get back to the rush of Ukrainian, Georgian and filipino women coming over to marry americans.  Which is fine but we need to be consistent.

I just don't see the shortcut.

As far as the cultural exception, meh. A family I grew up with was from Greece. They were Christians. Their two sons had arranged marriages. Their daughter had an arranged marriage with someone from Greece she'd never met. It's not all third world countries, or religions you deem inferior.
