Editor,
Numerous problems have been reported in western countries that are taking in refugees from the Middle East and predominantly Muslim countries, but so far in this country at least not much publicity has been generated about the child bride problem. UNICEF has reported that as many as “one-third of registered marriages among Syrian refugees in Jordan between January and March 2014 involved girls under 18,” with some as young as 11. This is not all that unusual as it must be remembered that Muhammad took a 9 year old as one of his wives and that currently 15 million girls worldwide are forced into matrimony every year.
With Democrat Governor Bullock requesting Obama to send us Middle Eastern refugees what does he plan on doing when a married couple show up and the wife is under the age of 14 and pregnant? What if she is 11 years old and pregnant? Is the county attorney going to prosecute the husband under pedophilia laws? Is the marriage going to be ruled null and void? Are there state laws on the books that cover this situation? Remember, the marriage was legal in the country in which it was performed.
Whatever happens it is of no concern to our Democrat friends as the husband, wife, and soon to be born child are all going to become a part of the massive social welfare system in Montana. They will be registered to vote and told they must vote for Democrats to assure their welfare checks keep coming in the mail. Democrat activists employed within the social welfare system will request absenteeism ballots for them and when they arrive complete the ballots for our non-English speaking refugees, who to no one’s surprise, will vote for only Democrats. This all the more reason to vote if you are a Republican or Independent as an election could easily be stolen by Democrat activists employed within the social welfare system.
