the easies route up north? Look I know living in Mexico is hard, but you can't expect legal rights from a country that you came in illegally. There other people from countries way worse than Mexico who wish to come here legally but are impeded by illegal immigration.

Just looking at what happened in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, current Iraq, the former Soviet Union, etc.- am I wrong or did these nations dissolve largely(or face bloody civil war) due to the fact that groups of people in each of these places saw themselves as having different "heritages" rather than uniting together and seeing themselves first as members of a common country with a shared/common culture? If immigrants from first Hispanic countries come here and see no reason to assimilate/share a common language and culture with the larger American society and then immigrants from other nations and languages follow suit (which already seems to be happening from what I see here in Michigan), would it be reasonable to think that such multi-culturalism/"balkanization" within the US would lead to the similar results here? If people don't share a common sense of allegiance to the country they live in first and foremost over any ethnicity/heritage they have, what happens? Any thoughts?

I know this really doesn't have to do with immigration.. I could careless what the people in politics think... I'm more aquainted with those on this forum, both, for and against it--
.. so, I guess you could say im interested in you ;)

....So, I was just thinking about Bush's stuttering... and I was kinda pretending like I was Bush, and explaining that I had a speech impediment-- to not laugh...

...And, I have this perfect "gay" voice.. So, I was acting like Bush...in my "gay" voice LOL... Damn.. I need sleep...

Anyway, I was just wondering what you guys would think if a gay guy ever landed the role of President... Would that be such a bad thing? What would happen to the country? And how would you feel about it?

Lets say he had strong views that everyone LOVED!! And he actually stood up for what he believed in, and for the people. .....What other things would he be doing-- anything strange?

--Rob =P

(No, I'm not gonna be your gay president.. I'm straight, Thanx).

Hispanics increased their hold as the country's largest minority group, at 14.5 percent of the population, compared with 12.8 percent for blacks.

Hispanic is a term for people with ethnic backgrounds in Spanish- speaking countries. Hispanics can be of any race, and most in the U.S. are white. When demographers talk about the shrinking percentage of white people in America, generally they are talking about whites who are not Hispanic.

— Such whites are a minority in four states — Hawaii, New Mexico, California and Texas — and the District of Columbia. The share of white people fell below 60 percent in three other states — Maryland, Georgia and Nevada. Nationally, non-Hispanic whites make up about 67 percent of the population, down from 70 percent at the start of the decade.

California, New York, Texas and Florida have the nation's largest immigrant populations. The new data show that immigrants will travel beyond those states if there are jobs available.

South Carolina's immigrant population grew by 47 percent since 2000, more than any other state. Hispanics grew by 48 percent in Arkansas, the most of any state.

The vast majority of illegal immigrants in America are Mexican, who were once proverbial for laziness and crime, but now are championed by the liberal media (NY Times) and neoconservative media (Wall Street Journal) as hard-working Americans.

Statistics, however, show otherwise. A recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center reveals the following:

(1) Hispanics are 3 times more likely than non-Hispanics to receive welfare

(2) Hispanics account for 3/4 of the increase in poverty in the USA

(3) 45% of Hispanic children are born out of wedlock

(4) Hispanic women are 2.54 times more likely to than white women to have abortions

(5) Hispanic men are 9 times more likely than white men to beat their partners

(6) Hispanics are 3 times more likely than whites to die of AIDS

(7) They are 4 times more likely to die of tuberculosis

(8) Hispanics are 2 times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Hispanics

(9) They are 3.8 times more likely to be in prison for murder

...do so many people come here from other countries and decide to stay?? I'm not sure of the exact stats, but I think it's a safe bet that all of your European nations combined don't have nearly as many new citizens per year as the USA.

I mean, like the last time I went from the US to visit Mexico, there were no necessary documents or ID or anything necessary to go into Mexico, but to return to the US, I needed at least a Drivers License. I know it's same continent, and was before 9/11. But what are rules in say, Lebanon, or Syria, or Kuwait? Somewhere like that (not Israel per se), but is someone knows?........

Hi!

How can someone make his FBI name-checking faster?
or even know anything about how much time will it take?

This Indian guy posted his experience there:

but any clearer step-by-step procedure to follow?

Serious answers are greatly appreciated,
specially if the source is also listed.

Many thanks.
