how are social security numbers tied to you?
how does a s.s. number prove you're a us citizen?
how would you prove to be an american to the social security office or when applying for a passaport?
how are passports fraudulently acquired? how are they caught?

i am writing a report on "how to..." i chose "how to get away as an immigrant in the us". i am legal here, even though i wasnt born here and thought it was an interesting subject. if any one have any information they know, story to tell, etc it'd be much appreciated.
thanks!

Hi people.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most free people in the world, since thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even excist in Iran.Our goverment tried to not to let western cultures influence ours, by prohibiting videos and sattelites, but in Iran every single house has one, so the government's agreed with having them.Currently, they don't provide high-speed internet, cos they think people may watch sextual and immoral films on the internet, however the highest speed in Iran at present is 128 k, but they're now thinking of providing 500 k speed.I know whatever our government says is for our own good.You know why? Let me give you an example:I suppose kissing in public is not forbiddon where you live, cos it's a part of your culture.But doing the same thing here is offensive.It's not that it's bad or something.You need to act according to your culture.People who don't, and have unreasonable behaviour that is considered immoral behaviour, are considered hooligans. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, now the way they wear clothes sounds like western countries, only there's scarves that don't don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of they hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's now slighty normal in Iran, since people seem to have got used to such acts and behaviours.Most of the rules that seem not to be reasonable are abolished almost afer 1-2 years, because people really don't obey them.Whether those rules exist or not Iranians do whatever they wish to! You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing that what you imagined before and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.People, the Iran you knew, is related to at least 30 years ago, and now everything's so great.Even at that time Iran was not a bad country either, but many things have changed so far.
Some people think music is forbidden in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the nobel prize in France?Iran's full of music nd they're all current pop music.The best you've ever heard, and in case you're curious to hear some, e-mail me and I'll send you some.
Oh, and some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're treated very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the husband'll have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford paying that amount of money! (so they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).Another rediculous thin: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many ears ago? 30-40 years ago? If this is true, then why don't you receive new footages EVERY DAY?How many footages do you have at all?1?2?or 3? Simple: because there's no such thing.First of all, what Quran says is just for whores who deliberitely commit that sin, not the ones who are raped by force.Second is that we know some women do that, but nowadays they don't seem to be under pressure and (let alone saying that they're stonned!!) that makes them dareful to do it over and over and it's not so pleasant I think.Is it? I don't think you could know our country better than ourselves! Oh, and don't you think that pre-martial sex is the same as adultery?!
Some people think, Iran's a desert! People Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not!

See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.So, please don't worry about us, cos we're really free.Ok?

I thought it's better to clarify some political matters as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with (not all of them), said here in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuck them!! Now, this is so odd, their media is good at putting comments, it's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....
First of all you should know that Iranians don't hate anyone, if our government complains about some injustice that's now going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? Nor do we hate Jews, nor do we hate Americans.They're both nice people.If they're media is fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in thier shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem that knocks at your door and asks you to do so?Who says we call Americans athiests?That's so funny, Christians and Jews are both God believers.We've never disrespected them.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing, it means that where you come from and what you're religion is, are not important for us at all.And I wonder why some Muslim countries think there's a problem between Shittes and Sunnies, it doesn't make sence in Iran.
I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn't have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked anywhere?Wasn't that Iraq that attacked us with support from you-khow-who?
Some of them say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of it and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! Iran is ready to defend itself, but it's not an offensive country and we've got a lot of defensive weapons not offensive ones, while most countries have nukes and are clearly threatening Iran to nuke us! Good isn't it? Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth! Ok, he's said this, but is saying it a crime? If 6000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shitte Moslems who were killed by Seddam aren't important at all! (and who gave him those biological weapons?You well know that) When Fox News simply says: America and Israel can destroy and kill all Iran's 690000000 population (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News web-site), it's OK and no one says they're treatening other countries to nuke them, But...
The only thing I know is that your body (sorry,just a few of you) is living at present time, but your brain seems to do some time traveling to the long past times and also some parts of the brain which may be responsible for accepting the truth seem to be completely off! (This doesn't include the intelligent ones of course)

In Texas, there they are developing a new plan to aid in the overcrowding of prisons and the rehabilitation of the prisoners. Instead of building more prisons, they are wanting to spend the money on adding to the other program facilities such as ISF's (Intermeidate Sanction Facility), SAFP (substance abuse felony programs), and also to halfway houses.

They plan is basically to add new beds to these kind of facilities to be able to move some prisoners out of the prisons and into the program facilities, to better aid them in hopes of them not recommiting crimes.

Do you think this would work, or do you think there is a better way of making the corrections system work?

Is there a copyright law that prohibits stores from giving customers refunds for DVDs they have purchased and that have been opened (presumably because they could have made copies of the disc)? If so, does it apply if the DVD is faulty?

My favorite Reagan speech was "The Shining City Upon A Hill" (January 25, 1974), followed closely by the "Evil Empire" (March 8, 1983) speech.

Although I would be hard pressed to name one single favorite, some of my favorite Reagan quotes, in no particular order, are as follows:

"How do you tell a communist? Well, its someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? Its someone who understands Marx and Lenin"

"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born"

"Fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes"

"The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written."
