Immigration and criminality in the U.S.A
Article Abstract:
There has been a rapid rise in crimes by immigrant aliens in the US, and the FBI says that the US is under siege from international terrorist and crime groups. The growth in crime by people from the Third World is a result of the US' failure to draw up and enforce sensible controls on immigration, and it can be traced back to the 1965 Immigration Act. Many immigrants regard the US as the land of opportunity, with crime being their ticket to the American dream. The criminal activities of various ethnic groups are discussed.

The case for an American manned Mars mission
Article Abstract:
It has often been assumed that any manned space mission to Mars involving the US will of necessity be an international project because the nation can no longer afford the cost of conducting such missions alone. An American Mars mission would be a national achievement that would show the rest of the world the survival of the American spirit. After the first few missions, the operation should be internationalized but the first people on Mars should be Americans if the 21st century is to be another American century.
