She's around 22, dropped all her classes this semester... She wants to marry her cousin(of a different last name) so he can move here as a US Citizen. I've already told her I think its a travesty to marriage and involves lots of risk including deportation(for the guy), and possible jail time for her... plus its wasting a few years of her youth being married... her family really wants that part of her extended family to come over to America(they're quite poor in China, so her mom sends money all the time... with the cousin here, he could make money to send back to China)... I know she's upset at me for not supporting her and saying these harsh things. I tell her there are many other ways(although much much slower) to get US Citizenship, but she signed off ignoring me.
