One wife's enough for me. Personally, I wouldn't want more than one woman slapping me upside the head every day.

I respectfully submit anyone who would be interested in having more than one wife should have their HEAD examined.

No. Assuming you are not a U.S. citizen, only the first wife would qualify for purposes of immigration.
