    Post: Daughter's undesirable boyfriend is an illegal

    Posted by Shirin on 2/11/08


    I am a US Citizen. My 17 year old daughter, adopted out
    of El Salvador and also a US Citizen, is strongly
    attracted to a 21 year old illegal immigrant from
    Honduras. He has perhaps a fifth grade level of
    education, and barely speaks English. This is the second
    time he has entered the country, after having been
    deported once, so this is felony reentry. Well, my kid is
    forever trying to sneak out to sleep with him etc. I
    initially spoke with the young man, and told him that I
    wished to have a year to observe his character, and if he
    proved to be of decent character I would not oppose the
    match. Indeed, I was prepared to act as his patron, and
    get him trained in some sort of marketable field, eg
    electrician, HVAC technician etc. if he met the following
    conditions; (1) He had to stop sleeping with the girl,
    although I permitted unsupervised dates. (2) He had to
    attend Spanish mass at the local Catholic church. (3) He
    had to work on his GED, and I agreed to provide him with
    tuition. Well, he did none of the above, and he is
    sleeping around with multiple girls; my daughter knows
    this, and STILL the little fool is infatuated with him.
    Don't ask me why; he's not that good looking. I have
    spoken to him directly telling him not to call; I have
    spoken to members of his community having them pass on the
    message; I have attempted to get the police to go pick him
    up (no luck); and I have spoken to his landlord
    threatening legal action if he continues to rent to this
    guy. (The landlord just laughed; it was the funniest
    thing he had heard in a while.) I have alarms on every
    door and window in the house so I know if the kid is
    slithering out, I have thrust her into two college courses
    and forbidden her to have a job in order to fill up her
    time and deprive her of spare cash to assist her in these
    escapedes; I have taken away her license, and I have moved
    her college funds into a vehicle that she will not be able
    to access until she is 30 (I can pay for her college out
    of other funds.) What more can I do to get rid of this
    pestilential boyfriend?
