snip} Macelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, was arrested Monday on suspicion of trying to arrange to have his daughter marry Margarito de Jesus Galindo, 18, for $16,000, 100 cases of Corona, 50 cases of Modelo beer, several cases of meat, two cases of wine, 50 cases of Gatorade and 50 cases of soft drinks, authorities said. The girl moved in with Galindo and when payments were not received, her father called police to get his daughter back. Greenfield Police Chief Joe Grebmeier told KSBW Action News 8 that both Martinez and Galindo, who are immigrants from Mexico, face the possibility of being deported as illegal immigrants. Grebmeier also said that both men didn’t fully understand that what they were doing was wrong. Also, the girl told police that she willingly moved in with Galindo. Arranged marriages are common in the section of Mexico where both Galindo and Martinez are from. But California law prohibits arranged marriage where one or both of the parties have been coerced. {snip}

. that dot is just a place marker
While I cannot promote, or condone, this sort of behavior, who am I to judge our illegal friends here? If we're going to give them 'anchor-baby' privileges, free-medical care, in-state tuition, free-housing, etc., why shouldn't a willing woman, and a willing man not be able to hook up for some grub and booze? These guys aren't asking the gov for anything! They are obviously productive aliens here. Give them an effing break, for .......sake.
