American mail order brides? |
|
My daughter knows a young girl (20s) who damaged her health with drugs and is unemployed. She offered herself as a mail order bride to a Canadian she's never met and is moving to Montreal next month to get married. Does anyone know how common this is? We're from a large metro area on the border of 2 red states. I figure if someone in my family knows of this, it must not be rare.

1. I don't know about that but I know a lot of Americans |

fly to China to marry well off Chinese so that they can become citizens. And they get paid by the buttload.

..a gal in her 30s from my old town (springfield Il)..that last summer went to Morocco and maried a guy she never met..she is very blue collar, in her 30s and has little grasp of what other cultures are about..close friends suspect it is a scam so this guy can become a citizen..can that happen even if the marriage takes place on foreign soil?
