It is not my English is your level of reading. Let me have a go at it again. Hmmm, I wonder why I tend to score in the 99th percentile on reading comprehension tests. Ok, simply put then your post was poorly worded... I was trying to be humorous but you took it as an offense, fair enough I guess. 3) The former economy, was the one that depended on huge workforce => auto-industry That industry vanished. No more 3). see please Ford, GM, Delfi and Chrysler I think the employees and shareholders of those companies would surprise to hear that... if you saying the auto industry will eventually vanish then you may be right but I seriously doubt the auto industry will go away completely in the US. GM and Chrysler will probably eventually file for bankruptcy but will not cease operations. Even if all US auto makers and suppliers went under there is still a great deal of foreign based auto makers in the US. 5) People refuse to accept that and believe that Well since it isn't true.... I am not surprised. If you are trying to say the auto industry and most heavy industry will fade then I assure you many Americans are very aware of what's happening. that 3) exists and see the immigrants as their problems. In terms of immigration Elmat the US has never had a year when there were not a substantial number of immigrants. At some of its most restrictive points in history (in terms of immigrant to native born population..) the US was still admitting 100,000 people on average a year without protest. It's about scale.... where are you getting your information about immigration into the US...? I think if we were chatting face to face I could convey to you in a few hours what I think is happening with the US economy and how that relates to immigration, but given your responses I think you may have misinterpreted some of my posts.

Elamt review the writing below.. (no I do not agree with it..) What is your opinion of it..? Who do you think proposed this or is willing to place or wants to place it into law..? * Foreigners are admitted into our country "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." * Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents. * Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken our laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." * The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest." * Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. * A National Population Registry keeps track of "every single individual who comprises the population of the country," and verifies each individual's identity. * A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants, and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number. Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned: * Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. * Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses" are subject to fine and imprisonment. Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons: * Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. * Foreigners who are deported from the country and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. * Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison. Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in the country -- such as working with out a permit -- can also be imprisoned. * "A penalty of up to two years in prison and a substantial fine will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." * Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported instead of being imprisoned. * Foreigners who "attempt against national sovereignty or security" will be deported. * Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into the country will be fined.
