In a recent search I found this interesting article on Mexico's immigration polices. Why shouldn't the U.S. adopt this stance?

Summary
In brief, the Mexican Constitution states that:
• Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.
• Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.
• Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.
• Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants)
and hand them to the authorities.
• Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process.

The whole article is here and I recommend you read more of it.

My son 24 is suffering from severe depression. He has been seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist for about 12 months and he is on medication. I go with him to all of his visits. But occasionlly we have really bad times where he can't cope. The other night was one of those times, but this time he begged and begged me to help him end the suffering. Is there anyone out there who has been in the same situation.
I held him all night and the next day I got on to his pschiatrist who talk to him and now he is a bit calmer. But I am taking 1 hour at a time. Has anyone got any advice for me so that I can help my son.

Up there the moon is hanging solemnly,
The night is sleeping,
Everything is so silent and still

Here I am, cold and lonely
My mind brings me back to the past
The best ages of my life

No one will understand
How much is enough
How do I struggle so hard
just to pass a day,
a brief moment in my life
I’m just nothing and shall always be

And so here I am
Dreaming about my happy childhood
It’s nothing now but just a sweet memory
And my eyes wet when I remember
how I used to be a vigorous girl

No one will ever care about me
I feel really sleepy and cold
But I know it won’t last long
After this I will once again be in my place

The wind is breezing, playing the night’s lullaby
And I close my eyes
no one will care
up there the moon is watching silently

I feel warmer now, with the night as my quilt
and I will be at ease forever more

im worried because im tryin to pursue a second opinion at the moment because i was unhappy with last psychiatrist opinion, he said i had a personality dysfunction/ disorder, but wasnt specific enough and vague. plus he didnt feel i needed meds because i didnt have depression or mental illness....but im worried because im thinkinking say if i tell the next psyche about my , being detached from things when out, my inner anger outbursts, feelings of anger towards people, my low moods, feeling despair, my high states of anxiety and panic, which keep me in all the time, the feeling of im going to lose control of my anger, so i stay inside, angry thoughts, my racing thoughts, worryin and obsessing about things constantly...........im worried that after all ive told him this the next psych aggrees with the last one that ive got some kind of personality disorder and not a mood disorder or anxiety disorder or bi polar and i wont get treated for these because this is what i believe i have

I'm always worrying myself to fatigue about my looks. I used to be an ugly duckling when I was a teenager, and now people seem to find me more attractive. It's true that I'm not used to too much attention. It has made me worry a lot about my appearance that I think of the worse scenarios happening to me. Since I am naturally hirsute, I am undergoing laser hair removal to remove hair from my face. Honestly, it's THE best thing that has happened to me! But, it has also made me be too anxious to follow every word of the doctor's advise, like not to remove hair from my face during the course. I used to be someone for whom plucking hair was as normal and easy as brushing the teeth, so I'm kinda used to it. But, now I'm afraid of even washing my face or touching the chin for the fear of unconciously removing hair. Even if I don't actually do it, I keep imagining that I have. I get depressed for hours, even days,when this happens. I am afraid of myself now. I don't trust myself anymore.HELP!

If you suspected someone you loved had a mental illness/disorder, would you tell them you knew, knowing you risk losing their companionship? (Assuming they already knew it but hadn't told you)

Since i was little I've had trouble sleeping at night. I get scared, to the point that I'm almost shaking and in tears. Scared of things like characters in scary movies, things on TV...even things I saw YEARS ago end up randomly in my head. It's affecting my work, because I usually don't get to sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning. I feel like a child, I'm afraid of scary movies like a kid would be. Not seeing them doesn't even help, because I invent things in my head that could happen, or I picture the commercial from a scary film. Telling myself they're not real doesn't help. I want to get over this and be able to act like an adult, instead of sleeping with the light and TV on...or getting up and sitting up for hours on end with every light in the house on.

Any suggestions?

sometimes in school, i get the idea that people think i am "special" (mentally, that is). and it's something that has been bothering me. i know that i am not but i can get where they might be getting this idea. i am usually quiet and sometimes walk in the halls by myself but every other time i am with friends. some of my teachers will sort of talk to me in what i think is an overfriendly tone. and some kids will imply that im retarded but not directly. When im not with my friends, i tend to keep to myself and when i do talk, its not interesting or i will say something stupid, but with my friends, i am very vocal and outgoing. Am i being paranoid or am i actually retarded?

SINCE THE AGE OF 10, ALL I DID WAS DO RESEARCH IN HOW PEOPLE MISTREAT ANIMALS AND ALL THE TORTURE THAT IS INVOLVED. NOW I AM ALMOST 21 AND 24HRS A DAY I THINK ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT I NEED TO DO FOR MY LIFE BUT MOST OF MY THOUGHTS LINGER ON ALL THE RESEARCH, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS OF ANIMAL ABUSE. I FIND MYSELF DRIFTING AWAY FROM TALKING TO SOMEONE TO THINKING OF PLOTING REVENGE ON THOSE PEOPLE. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY I JUST BLANK OUT AND START TWITCHING AS IF I WAS HAVING A NIGHTMARE. I HAVE A STRONG LOVE FOR THE WAY ANIMALS SHOULD BE TREATED. BUT I AM NOT A VEGAN. I DONT JUDGE ANYONE ABOUT IF THEY LIKE TO EAT ANIMALS OR NOT....THATS NOT WHAT IAM TALKING ABOUT.. ITS ABOUT PETS, WILDLIFE,ZOOS ETC....ABUSE. ALL ANIMAL ABUSE & TORTURE!!! I WANT TO CONTINUE TO LOVE THEM BUT IM AFRAID IT WILL TAKE OVER MY LIFE...

I am doing a study over the next two years on job satisfaction and its psychological impact outside of work. This is a longitudinal study, so it means that we'd have to talk every 4-6 months for 2 years. I am curious if people would be willing to do this. You would be 100% anonymous and unidentifyable in any paper I write, but I would be asking a lot of personal psychological questions. I am a PhD student in psychology / organizational behavior at a top 10 school (joint program with the MBA program). The compensation would range from $50-$100 per interview - which would last about 1-2 hours.

there is a lot of research on job satisfaction - but nobody ever looks at how people's lives are affected by their job. do you have any stories about how your job affected / hurt your life? (or improved it? )

We all show signs of bipolar?
We are angry etc. but where is the limit?
I do think , this is why it's really difficult and it takes time to be able to get a good and final diagnostic.
