Oh yea! Let's continue helping the disentegration of the already struggling institution of marriage.
JHCOAFRC!!!!!!!!!! Even the THOUGHT of such a show is despicable!
Isn't it bad enough that marriage has become almost a "weekend hobby" for a good many in the country? Isn't it bad enough that there are almost
COUNTLESS numbers of illegal aliens already in the country, with more coming every day?
Do the two really need to be conjoined?

one! "Hola!"
Contestant number two is a thrill seeking adventurer who enjoys crushing walnuts with her forehead. She wants kids but will require a strand of hair
before copulating. Say hello to contestant number two! "Guten tag!"

All you have to do is not watch it and that should send a clear signal to the idiots that make this garbage up.
You can always write them an email and let them know that you think this is a bad idea.
Besides that you can try and get onto the show and make a joke out of it. Now that would be cool....
I also had some pretty funny visuals running through my head...

How come people in America have so much against illigal immigrants?
If I remember correctly the entire U.S was made by illigal immigrants

Because of the burdens they cause in many instances.
They take jobs from AMERICAN citizens that need them as well.
They do dumb crap like pulling down OUR flag and placing MEXICO'S above it.
They are bringing disease by the truck load and it is totally unmonitored.
An American caught sneaking across the border INTO Mexico would VERY likely be treated like garbage.
SOME of them bring more crime when we already have enough we have to worry about.
Some of them take CRAZY advantage of tax breaks through buying and selling amongst themselves. Yet, we get almost NOTHING in the way of tax breaks, at
least on the same level that they do.
And last, but certainly not least,
OVERCROWDING and OVERSPAWNING.
They are sneaking across and pumping out children left and right.
Though, I DO agree with your statements about the American Indians. However, it's a bit silly to compare our today with yesterday.
Sure, we invaded the Indians and brought famine and plague with us. We used them when we needed them, all the while secretly plotting their demise.
Wait, that sounds familiar. Has any of that happened recently?

For the record, it is difficult for illegals to get marriage licenses in most states. Therefore, this show will be marrying legal immigrants with
visas.

With as little faith in humanity as I have, why is it that people must constantly work to undermine what's left?
This is revolting.
If you want to talk about what's wrong with things, this is a good place to start.
Getting rich off this kind of crap is fundamentally wrong.
What's worse is I'm sure the show will be a hit.
I think I'm going to go bang my head on a wall for awhile.

Nope. I appreciate your idiocy, ignorance, and bigotry, but my ancestors came here legally.
Following the law.
Nice try, though.

Yeah, they actually can get a lot of government benefits. It's pathetic.

Well this argument wouldn't work, but since we have retarded minimum wage laws, it does.

Yeah, like a citizenship protest waving flags or their damn countries. Ugh.
They are bringing disease by the truck load and it is totally unmonitored.

Depends on who you mean "us." The Spanish conquistadors were horrible. But for what made up the United States when it was founded, they weren't
that bad to the natives. There was never any centralized plot to get rid of them.
You can't say they were really invaded, either. They were, for the most part, a bunch of nomadic tribes, many violent and/or warring with others,
with no concept of owning land. It wasn't "theirs."
And guys, you should notice that the people they're having people marry on the show are here legally, not illegally.

I think it is a stupid idea. Marriage is not for all, it changes once one is married. Sometimes not for the good. I say live with the person.

Under that reasoning every country in the world, minus a few African countries, is populated by illegal immigrants.

They do dumb crap like pulling down OUR flag and placing MEXICO'S above it.
just like you planted the american flag on indians territories?
They are bringing disease by the truck load and it is totally unmonitored.
just like you brought desiease with you that the native americans has never had before?
An American caught sneaking across the border INTO Mexico would VERY likely be treated like garbage.
but why???? shouldnt the bend down a praise your overhuman being and just be glad you would even set foot in their land?
SOME of them bring more crime when we already have enough we have to worry about.
and you have only brought peace among the native americans?

just like you stole, murdered and raped the native americans?
And last, but certainly not least,
OVERCROWDING and OVERSPAWNING.
They are sneaking across and pumping out children left and right.
and ever since your people discovered america you have brought down population?
Though, I DO agree with your statements about the American Indians. However, it's a bit silly to compare our today with yesterday.
yes, from your narrow perspective i can see that it is?
Sure, we invaded the Indians and brought famine and plague with us. We used them when we needed them, all the while secretly plotting their demise.

see you are trying to make all theese people look bad, when the fact is that history just tells us that the very reason you live where you live, was
from a similar way of illigal immigration.
so how about you change the today events to not make history repeat itself?
try to embrase difference and see if you can learn something.

Arranged marriages are very common between US males and the Philippines, Russia, Balkan states, Poland, Thailand. Look in any singles mag or google
arranged marriages any be prepared to be amazed at how a few bucks can get you a wife from almost anywhere. The arranged marriage industry is
HUGE.
Not only that....It is very easy to buy [adopt] a baby from almost any third world country over the internet.
The immagration laws in the US are a joke.
Here in the Southwest it is very very common to see marriages between Hispanics and Anglos. No one even gives it a second glance.
You might as well face it; the world will one day be just one race; mankind.
If we make it that long.
Personally I think we are doomed to a natural catastrophe.
It's a brave new world; welcome to the monkey house!

Any marriage that is for the purpose of getting someone citizenship is void and therefore doesn't exist.
It might also be fraud.
The whole thing is ridiculous.

Who the hell is "you?" None of us did anything of that sort.
And if you mean years ago, most didn't even claim that they owned the land!

Nope, it was "inhabited" by a couple million people in nomadic tribes, they couldn't sustain a large population because of their lack of, well,
"civilization."

I didn't invade anyone.
The United States and England did little to plot the demise of the natives.

Wrong. There's your idiocy, ignorance, and bigotry again. There was no giant Native American nation, nor did they even claim to own the land they
lived on most of the time!
And my ancestors came to America after any of this happened? Are you telling me they came illegally, even though they didn't? Who the hell are
you?

Try to learn to spell "embrace," try to open up a book, and see if you can sound less ignorant.

made from the earth.America is sooo ignorant when it comes to things like this,hell the Americans STOLE this land from THE NATIVE AMERICANS.I think

I know that's the sad part. When are people going to realize that TV is a waste of time unless it's sports or Hell Date!
As for Johnmike..

Claim to own? I don't think they had that concept. They lived life a different way.

America is so racist i don't know why they are doing a show like this when they don't really like the immigrants that are not even close to their
skin complexion. I think that America needs to accept anyone no matter what they look like or what they have done. America is still so behind in
time!!!!! America are theives they stole this land from the natives and they have the balls to call this country god's country if it was god's
country then there wouldn't be all these skinheads and such crap going on.....I'm glad that I'm a beautiful afromexican and I'm proud of it I've
seriously gotten so sick and tired of this country for putting us Latino and black people down that i just want to go back to my native country where
i know that i will be accepted.
viva Mexico!!! viva Mexico!!! viva Mexico
