A new immigration bill, tabled on December 15th 2009 by Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, Democrat of Illinois, seeks to offer pardon to all illegal immigrants in the U.S for a $500 fine and an English language test. The bill, if passed, could have far-reaching consequences on the demographics and politics of America, nay the whole world.

The bill has been pushed by Gutierrez, who is an ardent Democrat and a strong Latino aide of Obama. It remains to be seen as to how the bill goes down with the common man on the streets because if the bill does ever become law, there will be a sudden spurt in the number of people who can legally compete for a job and in these times of joblessness, many people consider the thought a very uncomfortable one.

Immigrants to the U.S from different corners of the world often find it difficult to get assimilated into the local culture. Even though the U.S is one big great melting pot of people from different regions, they are all largely united by a common language – English. As an applicant for a green card you have to demonstrate some level of skill with the language and taking an ESL course can boost your chances of getting a green card and also a student visa if you are applying for one.

There are various institutes all over the world that offer specially-designed courses of English as a second language. In America, you can take up ESL as a minor subject while majoring in another subject. Once you have an ESL certification, you have bonafide proof that you are trying hard to assimilate into the culture of your adopted homeland. Your education prospects increase, your job prospects become better, and your chances of acquiring permanent citizenship in the U.S also improve.

The US Greencard lottery is an initiative by the Department of State to offer 50,000 US greencards to people in countries with low US immigration rates. Countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants in the last 5 years, are however not eligible. These include Jamaica, India, Pakistan, Canada, Colombia, and Peru among others.

The DV2011 lottery is the easiest way to become a part of the US populace, through a very random, but completely unbiased and impartial process. The best part is that it is a fairly simple process, unlike the usual hassles and complications one would expect to encounter in such a process. All you have to do is fill-in the online form between Friday, October 2, 2009 Noon Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4) and Monday, November 30, 2009, noon Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5).

For the 102,800 applicants selected in the first stage of dv-2010 lottery, the much-coveted US Greencard will not just be a distant dream. Out of these applicants, 50K were selected for the visa interviews Those interested in being a part of the dv-2010 lottery had to submit an electronic form online, and out of the 13.6 million applicants, 102,800 eligible entries have been picked through a random, computer-generated lottery. However, not all selected applicants will get a visa after the interview process. That is the reason why the lottery picks more than the requisite in the first stage.

None of the selected applicants are informed by e-mail, but through letters (postal mail) only. The US greencard diversity applicants, who have not been selected in the lottery, do not receive any confirmation; only the selected are contacted by the Kentucky Consular center. Those who have not been selected are also free to apply again in the diversity visa lottery 2011.

With the recent nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice, a plethora of cruel remarks have been sweeping through the talk shows and on-air statements; all in an effort to undermine her nomination. Most of these statements have been made by Republicans who have yet to learn what the word “respect” really means.

In a recent article entitled “Women’s Role in Society,” written by Lillian M. Varrassi, she made a valid point that throughout the centuries, women have been deemed second class by their counterparts. While her article is timely, it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a double standard for men and women – a bias that continues to exist today.

A hacker attack Thursday shut down the fast-growing messaging service Twitter, and Facebook also said it was looking into possible site problems.

Twitter said in its status blog Thursday that it was “defending against a denial-of-service attack,” in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through.

The federal government is cracking down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants and they are auditing employer’s I-9s and paperwork to find violations. In fact, they notified nearly 1,000 businesses across the nation that their records will be audited, and also warned the companies of the stiff penalties if they did not fix the problems.

The Obama Administration doesn’t want immigration officials to “storm businesses” while people are working. Rather they would like to look at all the records. For those business owners with a history of violating these laws they can expect stiff criminal penalties.

Google, Intel, Yahoo and PayPal, what do the all have in common? That they are famous global brands. Well they certainly are but that is not my point.

That they are the industry leaders in the Information Age and Internet Revolution we have been in the last 15 years.
I think we all agree these are the names we think of to answer when a statement like this is made but again is not what I was alluding too.
