Mexican Accession Act the only Alternative to the Immigration Bill

Political corridors are abuzz with talks of the Immigration bill; not to mention, it is also hogging the news media limelight. While the purview of the Immigration bill is quiet vast, but its impact on the most notorious set of immigrants, the Mexicans, has generated obvious interest. The number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has been estimated to be around 12 million. Mexicans, lured by the prospects of a better life, make up 70% of that no-mean figure.

Mexico’s en masse fascination of Uncle Sam is a matter of deep study and beyond the scope of terse write-ups like this one. U.S. is the country of immigrants, and its power and wealth have perennially enticed people of many nationalities, including the Mexicans, who have not been able to develop a national immunity to this allurement. Sadly enough, crossing the U.S-Mexico border is almost a ritual that every Mexican is bound to perform. Happily enough for the Americans, it is a ritual that not every Mexican can perform. Despite the repeated efforts by the U.S and Mexican authorities to strengthen vigilance along the border, many Mexicans are able to export themselves to the U.S. Once in the U.S, these Mexicans spend undocumented lives, while performing low-skill labor jobs.

The Mexicans trespassing into U.S territory is dwarfed by another problem, that of these trespassers living undocumented lives. Imagine that you wakeup one fine day, only to realize that you have become invisible, inaudible and intangible; simply put, you cease to exist for the entire world. If that happens, God forbid, you would be as good as dead. Likewise, as these smuggled Mexican human imports do not bother with the necessary paperwork, therefore, they do not exist in the eyes of the U.S. law. They are not even liable to those rights that are considered fundamental, and conferred upon all citizens and legal aliens. Therefore, identifying them is imperative.

The Immigration Bill 2007 looks to come to the aid of the illegal immigrants that are living in the U.S, including those from Mexico. The framework of this bill proposes to grant U.S. citizenship to this much despised class of illegitimate visitors. Although, fresh illegal immigrants would not be rewarded with a citizenship. Many detractors of the bill have contended that this bill would grant gratuitous amnesty to the illegal immigrants. These critics seem to lack the disaster-realization glands in their body, as the issue of 12 million people living anonymous lives is a disaster. The time is ripe for action. This bill, if passed, might just instigate that action. Under the bill, the proceeds from the fines and other fees paid by the illegal immigrants will be used to strengthen vigilance along the Mexico-U.S border. Therefore, the proposed legislation will not only grant citizenships to the illegal immigrants, but also help to improve the fencing along the U.S-Mexico border. In this manner, lawmakers would be able to kill two birds with one legislation.

If, for some reason, these proposed amendments are not able to endure the legislative process, then it would spell doom for the illegal immigrants of America.

There are human lives at stake. Until Mexico’s national penchant for the U.S as the favored destination for extended, law defying picnics wanes, the immigration bill is the only thing that can help America from an impending catastrophe. It might be a catastrophe to the tune of an armed uprising, by the millions of illegitimate Mexican immigrants, demanding a homeland in the middle of the U.S. It might seem bizarre but funnier things have happened. I wouldn’t put my money against it, if things don’t improve. Now, you might realize the need for granting amnesty to these legal-paper-lacking immigrants. If you still want an alternative, then the only alternative would be the Mexican Accession Bill 2007. This way the U.S would be able to expand its territory and the Mexicans will be granted their wish of living the American life.

The Benefits of Dating A Russian Damsel

I think one thing that is common between half the world or the male population of the world, is that we all secretively or glaringly crave for Maria Sharapova. No one can be blamed for harbouring such desires as Russian women have such an enigmatic charm. They are the goblet of beauty and coy beauty at that. Russian women have marriage on top the list of their priorities. Well, russian dating can be fun. You can try out Loversplanet, a website that has no dearth of Russian women ready to mingle. It must be remebered that Russian women have inexorable and refined family values. This is one reason for the low divorce rate in Russia, as compared to the western countries. Russian women have also been labeled as made-to-order-brides. A befitting name it seems. I am sure your admiration of Maria Sharapova has turned into a grand admiration for Russian women as a whole. But keep my advice and don't try an marry all of them.

The Most Effective Insurance Leads

If you are in the insurance industry and an insurance agent at that, then winning over clients can be a hard task. This is where insurance leads come to the rescue. Having a lead is half the client won, pun intended. But where would you get these insurance leads is the question. I reviewed an insurance leads website that I found to be headlining search engine results. The website in question is QuotesAuction.com Upon entering the website did look like a copywriters brainchild. But, when I noticed the "how it works" and "lead samples" section it started to feel better. In the former they have thoroughly spelt out the way their service is supposed to work. You can get insurance leads based on the geographical area and specific lines of insurance. For instance, if you want Health Insurance Leads then you will get just that.You have the option of signing-up for free leads. If you feel satisfied and want comprehensive insurance leads the you can give your billing information to receive the leads unabated. You can restrict the number of leads you want to receive on a per day, per week or per month basis. The leads are provided through e-mail and contain all the necessary information to give a quote to a prospective client.

The website that acts as an intermediator between bloggers and advertisers has undergone sweeping changes in the past few weeks. The website has a new way of allowing adverisers to advertise on blogs.It is PPP direct. This service allows the advertisers to directly choose the blogs they would want to advertise upon. Also the bloggers can set the price but negotiations between the advertisers and bloggers can get both a satisfying deal. For this great service PPP only charges the advertisers a 10% fee. It would be ideal if PPP continued with such changes that benefit the bloggers and help make blogs financially more viable. I would want them to diversify into the blog content outsourcing field. Whereby they would help blog owners find content providers or professional bloggers for there blogs. This would be a first dedicated service and help professional bloggers, who know thier blogging all to well, find decent blogging jobs. It would be a website akin to guru or elance for blog related outsourcing. I am sure quite a few good ideas would be taking birth in the minds of the powers that be. Anyways here is the official press release:

The PayPerPost Revolution Accelerates, Sponsored Blogging Marketplace Secures $7 Million Series B Draper Fisher Jurvetson leads round and joins Board of Directors ORLANDO, FL – (June 12, 2007) – PayPerPost, the leading marketplace for advertisers to reach bloggers and other consumer content creators, today announced it has completed a $7 million second round investment led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an investor in the company's Series A and one of the world’s leading high-technology venture capital firms. The financing brings the total amount of capital raised by PayPerPost to over $10 million, giving the company considerable resources for further development as the industry’s leading Consumer Generated Advertising marketplace.

Our content creator and advertiser ROI metrics clearly demonstrate the upside for PayPerPost’s model. We intend to use this capital to build the infrastructure, visibility and professional expertise necessary to reach and retain a greater network of advertisers and content creators than ever before.” Since its founding in June of 2006, PayPerPost has signed more than 6,500 advertisers to its groundbreaking service, which has enabled Consumer Content Creators to be compensated for their efforts discussing specific companies, products or services via blogs, videos or other media.

World Demand For Silver Exceeds Production

Silver demand has gone through the roof. As things stand there is nothing out there to stop silver prices from rising. This can also be attributed to the fact that the yawning gap between supply and demand of silver in the world market might not be filled in the foreseeable future. Looking back in hindsight, the U.S which had a huge stock of silver during WWII dumped it in the international market. Coming back from hindsight, that sustained dumping means that with increasing silver demand the U.S has to buy silver from outside. All this indicates that buying silver is a great investment. Irrespective of your willingness to look beyond conventional precious metals, you can invest in all precious metals including silver using Monex Deposit Company. They will provide you silver in form of coins or ingots. You also have the option of getting the silver delivered to you or having it kept in a safe deposit or bank. With MDC you will never be short of precious metals, safety and options.

Pakistani Premiers Cupid Diplomacy

CAN OUR TWO GREAT COUNTRIES GO TO BED ?

It seems to be quite lonely at the top and probably that is why there are quite a few lusty sex starved heads of government. I hope you still remember a certain Bill Clinton. Anyways his escapades were prosaic when compared to PM Shaukat Aziz of Pakistan. Aziz has been revealed in Condoleezza Rice's biography, Twice As Good: Condoleezza Rice And Her Path to Power, to possess a seductive guile that failed miserably on spell-proof Condi. It is also claimed in the book that PM Shaukat Aziz did make conspicuous overtures with flirtatious undertones. The book's sale might have gone through the roof had Shaukat Aziz been blessed with a little more luck in winning over Condleezza Rice.

I doubt that the books sale will be boosted considerably by the revelation about Aziz, who has come under flak in Pakistan, as he is hardly known to the world. But with the scandalous revelations in the backdrop the book can look to draw quite a few readers in the Islamic country where a puppet government has been served in the name of democracy. But had I been blessed with the Casanovaesques abilities Aziz is reported to have in the book, I would have opted for Segolene Royal of France, a former Presidential candidate.

Paris Hilton An Industry In Herself

Paris Hilton has done some inadvertent good deeds. She seems to have everyone in a frenzy over her jail term. Due to which many people are finding work. That includes bloggers busy blogging about her and reaping the rewards of increased visits. If not all, at least some of them might be earning a little extra. I found one such website-not a blog. It will tickle you blue. The reveal-all name of the website,Paris Was My Prison Bitch, is itself very hilarious. But the website all over packs a punch. It has a wide variety of products that bait Paris. From coffee mugs to sweat shirts they have it all. I for a moment felt that Paris was going to replace Che Guevara as the most popular cult figure.

Water Filtration Inside A Bottle Itself

I am sure you have heard of water bottle filters. They are commonly perceived to be all right for outdoor use. But you can use them extensively as well. This is because many of them can actually filter up to 80 gallons of water. Figure without fact is vague. So, let me enlighten you with the fact that 80 gallons of water equals 3 months of your water consumption. The water bottle filter also come in various shapes and sizes. My favourite is the one shaped in the form of a sports bottle. They also offer a cheap alternative to the bigger water filtration systems and can filter bad taste, odor, chlorine and heavy metals out of the water. They are as cheap as the dirt they filter.

Chronicles Of Free Magazine Subscriptions

I was quite amused to find a website that kept a log of free magazine subscriptions on the internet. The website per se sounds useful. I don't think that after going through the most comprehensive listing of free magazine subscriptions that are available on the net. " We wouldn't have known otherwise", is all you would probably remark after going through the list. The list is invariably updated daily and if there is any new Free Magazines subscription for grabs then it would be included. The website just doesn't link and forget but you will also specify the ways of of getting that offer. If you religiously follow the links on the website then you could stand a chance of winning a free subscription of your favourite magazine. The normal procedure for the free subscription through the website is filling a form that is submitted to the magazine editor in the normal course. You can either scan through entire list or browse the magazines by categories.

I found that the creme de la creme of magazines from across all known genres were listed. This was contrary to my initial belief that the website would feature less known magazines. Is the website worth your visit ? Probably that's what you are wondering. I would answer in the affirmative, if you love to read. Then this might just get you the free subscription of your favourite magazine.
