I love politics but i also love to hear other people's opinions on these important matters although i may disagree. i know it is a very controversial subject and not exactly a dinner table conversation but i feel that people need to express themselves on such matters as long as we can play nicely and not be too harsh. if i am allowed to, i shall suggest the first topic:
The Immigration Act

I am fine with anyone immigrating to the US.
:-)
My experience with US immigration. For a person who is not a refugee. If you want to play by the rules and not be illegal, unless you want to marry an American, or give birth to child on US soil.....the US is nailed shut.
Ten years ago, I studied in the US on a one year student visa, and I wanted to stay. I could stay in the US on an extended VISA if I was accepted to grad school. Grad school wouldn't process my application, unless I had a VISA.
Chicken, egg, chicken, egg, flight home to the Netherlands.
The US loss I'd say, I readily hand over nearly 60% in just income tax to the Dutch government, as an intelligent hard working individual. Uncle Sam misses out. :)

well, i don't mind anyone immigrating to the US. sometimes some of the immigrants come here because of problems that the US started such as Guatemala and El Salvador. these people work harder than anyone i know. new topic:
The Patriot Act
this act allows the government to invade peoples privacy without a warrent if suspected to be a terrorist.
