Or perhaps I completely misunderstood the meaning of that statement?

I read this a couple of years ago, on some island, on a statue given by that pesky, cheese munching, wine sucking, beret wearing, tricolor waiving Gallic Rooster, is it not there anymore?

First off I am Native American and if you want to see a riot go to a European "football game".

You people come here looking for prosperity because you failed in your homeland..admit it.

...the spectrum of Nativity is not limited to being incidently born and handed a passport ...

... On what reservation were you born or do you reside ...?

You mean a honkie-boy born on a reservation is a true American Indian but a genetic American Indian born in Westchester is just a honkie-boy?

You have missed about 80 years of litigation in the USA.

... little note on the agency in charge ...

111,000 IMMIGRATION FILES LOST
TENS OF THOUSANDS GET CITIZENSHIP WITHOUT BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION

By James P. Tucker Jr.
An investigation by a government oversight agency recently revealed that in 2005 U.S. immigration authorities either “lost” or could not account for an estimated 111,000 files on immigrants to the United States, resulting in tens of thousands gaining citizenship without any indication as to whether authorities had checked to see if any of them had a criminal history.

The shocking loss was discovered in a study by the Government Accounting Office (GAO) sought by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). As many as 30,000 immigrants obtained citizenship with limited scrutiny as a result.

“In 2002, we had a person who was a threat to the United States that got citizenship and the file wasn’t even reviewed,” Grassley said on the Lou Dobbs TV show Dec. 4.

“How can this happen? Basic incompetence of paperwork or the fact that even paperwork exists as opposed to having this stuff on computer where it can be saved.”

There only has to be “one mistake” and the United States could again become a victim of terrorism, Grassley said, “A terrorist has to be right once,” he said. “We have to be right every time.”

Grassley was referring to an individual who received his U.S. citizenship and was a known supporter of the Lebanese militia group, Hezbollah, which the United States considers a terrorist organization. Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands and Israel also consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. The rest of the world considers it a legitimate resistance organization that defends southern Lebanon from Israeli incursions.

“If they can’t handle legal immigration, how are they going to give amnesty to 12 million people that are here illegally?” Dobbs asked.

“A test on that will come next year when we have a debate on an amendment that there can’t be any guest worker programs or even any consideration of legalizing illegality if we don’t control the borders in the first place,” Grassley responded. “In other words, control the borders in the first place and then look at all these other issues as a next step.”

In a prepared statement issued earlier, Grassley said “It takes one missing file of somebody with links to a terrorist organization to become an American citizen. A terrorist can be unsuccessful thousands of times, but we have to be perfect all the time. We can’t afford to be handing out citizenship with blinders on.”

The 30,000 missing files represent about 4% of the 715,000 total applications handled by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2005. The CIS is an agency within the Department of Homeland Security. The files, known as “A files,” contain information such as arrest warrants and the results of immigration proceedings. The losses can be attributed to “poor training” and “a lack of emphasis by managers,” the report said.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.), who also called for the investigation, observed that some of the 9-11 hijackers entered the country legally, disappearing until the terrorist attacks.

She called it “unthinkable” that the U.S. immigration system could still grant citizenship to a potential terrorist “simply because they can’t find a person’s file.”

CIS officials told auditors that case adjudicators are not required to document whether they use A files. This means some of the 30,000 could have been reviewed but they don’t know. Auditors recommended CIS tell employees to note whether an A file was used to adjudicate an application—something any clerk-typist would recommend.

Think before you post

October 15, 2001 - Outstanding new discoveries in ion physics
Innsbruck/Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Tilmann M'?rk from the Institute of Ion Physics at the University of Innsbruck and his team have, with the support of the Austrian Science Fund, developed unique methods and equipment to examine the interaction of electrons with atoms, molecules and clusters.
And their research has been successful - they have made a number of discoveries, including a new ozone destruction process, and they have clearly established the binding energy of the "buckyball"?, C60 , which has long since been the subject of international research.
The destruction of the ozone in the earth's atmosphere has many different causes, many of which are unknown. Tilmann M'?rk and his team, in cooperation with University College London, have identified a phenomenon which was hitherto considered impossible, but which basically constitutes another ozone destruction process. "We have proved what was previously considered impossible: slow, thermal electrons are taken up by the ozone. This happens with great frequency and has a detrimental effect on the atmosphere, since this destroys the ozone,"? explains M'?rk. Since there are a great number of these slow electrons in the ionosphere, it is clear that the many ozone models must be recalculated in light of these results and the simulations must be re-worked.

The binding energy of the "buckyball"?
A further highlight amongst M'?rk's results relates to the well-known football-shaped "buckyball"? C60, which is characterised by its particular stability. In cooperation with the University of Jerusalem, M'?rk has revealed the secret of this binding energy. "Unusually for a "football"?, we bombarded the C60 molecule with electrons, thereby attempting to break a C2 molecule away from the ionised molecule cluster. We wanted to know the energy required for this fragmentation process, since, conversely, this also tells us the energy with which this part is bound to the rest of the molecule,"? explains M'?rk. M'?rk and his team succeeded in breaking a C2 carbon molecule away from the C60 ion and therefore established the measure of stability, i.e. the precise binding energy. The astonishing result: the binding energy required to break away a C2 molecule, at 10 electron volts, is considerably higher than the ionisation energy of approximately 7.6 eV - this makes C60 very different from other molecules.

Actually, no, it's Ernst, he's only wearing Fritz' pants.

Now what, you're throwing a Billion Dollar Shloka at me, what am I supposed to do with it?

Great! Nice junk of business, are you the CEO or else on the board of directors?

Thanks,
