If you are a man who wants two wife what do you know about a union or care about one! It's not his problem its the two womens problem who wants to play the game with him!
Actually, it is both our problem. The children born into the archetypal Hmong polygamous family are greatly prone to unplanned teen pregnancy, teenage marriage, low education, poverty, gang violence, alcohol and drug abuse, and promiscuous sex. Guess who's paying the prison electricity bills and the correctional officer wages? Guess who's paying for WIC, MFIP, and TANF? You and I, pal.
We are both Hmong, we live within the community, we are always in contact with Hmong, and we know what the hell goes on. We all know kids who were born in a polygamous family. How many of these kids had a history of gang activity, smoke cigarettes at a young age, had child(ren) when they were young, and can't get out of poverty right now?
I rest my case.
