Who is "we"? I'm against it, but citizens in Colorado, Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, NC, RI, SC, Vermont, Virginia and Tennessee don't care if you marry your cousin. Residents of California and Massachusetts, have no limit; it's 15 in Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, Idaho and Hawaii; and 16 in almost every other state with parental consent.

So I'm not sure why the sudden outrage over teens marrying adults, or the relation to immigration. I don't like it, I wouldn't recognize it as a marriage, but I'm not going to paint all immigrants as child-marriers.

I detest serial killers. Serial killers are normally males. Australia has men. Australia has serial killers. Ergo, all men from Australia are  serial killers, so we shouldn't allow anyone from there into the country.

I know what your point was and I'd like to deport those citizens, but cannot fathom bringing in more people who would do the same.
Those with child brides can god elsewhere, or stay at a refugee camp
that I do not mind kicking a bit of my taxes at.

Maybe we could send them to Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, Idaho, California or Hawaii?
