I live in Kentucky. In Kentucky first cousin marriages are not recognized. In Colorado, Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, NC, RI, SC, Vermont, Virginia and Tennessee, it's legal. By your logic Kentucky should not accept anyone from those states. I'm not sure what state you live in, but I know we have posters from NC and Florida. I'm saddened to learn you think they're cousin marrying undesirables. For the most part, they seem like nice posters. Even the ones from Florida.
I have a hard time judging a group of people by the actions of a few.
You are not judging a group. You are not letting in people who believe it's ok to marry children, poop in public, oppress women, etc
The broader topic is restricted immigration with a point system to value what each immigrant brings to the table. These issues listed above are just immediate reasons to deny.
