A friend is getting married today and it is destined to fail.

He is 39 and domineering.
His future ex-wife is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, who is under 20, with very little self esteem, who is pregnant for the first time.

He claims she was a virgin when they met, and this child is his.
But he has been talking about marriage and children from their first date. —His biological clock is ticking, desperation has set in, and even if this child were born black with kinky black hair, he would swear it was his.

The story he tells about her changes almost hourly depending on the person he’s speaking to.
He swears that she entered this country legally and that her ID just expired…… She told one of women he works with that she snuck in through TJ and bought her ID on this side of the border.
I’ve seen her ID…. If she paid more than $100 she was ripped off.

Come January the rules change, proper IDs will be required and illegals will have a much harder time getting a marriage license here…… We won’t discuss the ramifications of everything being reported to DHS.
No wonder they were in such a rush.

Both of them are under the impression that because he is white, and an American citizen, getting her a green card once they are married will be a snap.

Her family thinks that he is old and sickly (he has epilepsy), and he honestly believes that they think he’s wonderful. After all, he’s the first real man in that family….. Idiot.

Barring a change in the rules, there is no green card in her immediate future.
There is push on to force employers to check social security numbers. This will preclude her working as anything but some sort of domestic.
He works for a small company that will never pay what he thinks he’s worth.
In spite of his braggadocio, he has no formal education or qualifications in his field, no one has offered him another job, and he is making about as much as he ever will…. She will discover this.
There is a baby coming, a second car is needed, and he is incapable of managing his own money.
Beyond sex there seems to be very little actual affection between them.
He wants a family and she wants a green card, this is all they seem to have in common.

Given these cold hard facts and unless she grows up and takes charge the stress will kill any relationship.
