"The new immigration as a class is far less intelligent than the old...Generally speaking they are actuated in coming by different ideals, for the old immigration came to be part of the country, while the new, in a large measure, comes with the intention of profiting, in a pecuniary way, by the superior advantages of the new world and then returning to the old country."
The Dillingham Report
1911
The report goes on to fault the new immigrants (from southern and eastern Europe) for lack of assimilation and English skills and urges a clampdown on immigration.

Hey, those were my grandparents!!! Were they yours?!??!?

This person really needs a job!!
I know someone who speaks Arabic and wants to work as a FBI Contract Linguist / Contract Language Monitor. He doesn't speak english that well though. Can someone get me the requirements? That would really help. I went on the web site and it wasnt much help. He's working as a security guard and he really needs a better job. I really appreciate it. Best answer will get 10 points.

This is what I have heard from my friends.
The three main branches, US Army, USN, and USAF, just don't get well enough with each other. (I am excluding USMC because they should be kind of relying heavily on USN, correct me if that is not true)

Whenever it comes to defense budget allocation they criticize each other over what is redundant or even useless.
My friend also told me that USAF generally hates the Army especially and consider it the dirtiest job on battlefield.

Also, he said there are stories about how the USN cheered when a F-14 shot down a F-15, and F/A-18 shooting down a F-22A during mock battles. While the simulation results are absolutely true, did this "cheering" part really happened?

I know this sounds like a weird question, but I am just curious because US forces are the absolute symbol of military might, cooperating with each other closely to produce the finest effiency... at least that is the cover story lol ... I just want to know more side stories about it...

i think that if we paid them minimum wage they would run for president to help the country not run to increase their already abundant wealth....most of our presidents have been rich cuz it takes alot of money to run. but i think theyd need more moral motivation and that paying them minimum wage would do that what do you think?

it sounds like they all want to stay the course like bush. If so, what is the difference?

What about real third parties that have a chance?

I have to write a paper for a political science course detailing the pros and cons of a ratified Constitutional amendment which would allow non-natural born U.S. citizens (like the Governors of California and Michigan, respectively) the opportunity to run for the Presidency. What's your opinion? Thank you in advance. :)

How long can the USA keep letting 3rd world poor people in? Are millions of unskilled, unschooled foreigners, most of who don't speak English, really helping this country? Have you considered the long term ramifications? Los Angeles is already half hispanic. Crime is very high. Why is it that crime is so high in every single hispanic neighborhood? I live in Los Angeles. All you have to do is drive through a hispanic neighborhood and you will see grafitti and gang members. You don't see that in white neighborhoods.

My boyfriend purchased a surround sound system in Virginia in 1997- which was later returned to the company. Now they are sending him notices stating that the origional amount (2,500) is now $7,500 worth of debt. I thought that each state had a cap on how long a party could collect against a debt- 10 YEARS later they are trying to collect on something that was returned to them stating they never recieved the items back- is this even legal??

We all know how great our transportation systems are! These are the people endorsing Hillary. Hooray! When she's President, the low-income-low-education stooges that vote for her will be the ones paying more when bus fares go up in order to subsidize more seats for the fat people, and other useless department of transportation projects...

Why do they try to defend thier nationalized health care by pointing out the life expectancy? HELLO!! The number one killer is the US is heart disease, which is due to little to no exercise and eating the fattiest foods on the planet. THe number two killer is cancer. Number three is accidents.

You'll notice that NONE of those killers are affected by having a national health care.
