Wait a minute... I think you are making assumptions you don't have facts to back up.
Personally, if the children are very young and the women has enough money to stay at
home, and wants to, then I see no problem with that. If the women were to work, she
might not make enough to cover decent child support, or the children wouldn't have as
much contact with either parent. Additionally, there is no indication the immigrant
isn't going to assist in supporting the family when he arrives. After all, she did
say he was a business owner. Trust me, if he is really a practicing muslim, he
believes in supporting the family.

I think it is none of your business.

Are you suggesting that having a mother taking care of them at home is NOT a benefit?
I think you are assuming too much.
