...short, while immigrants are a fiscal drain in states with large undocumented immigrant populations, they are also net contributors to the federal treasury. Many believe that this “wall” will halt the flow of undocumented Mexicans into the US—but they are wrong. A fence already exists along much of the border, and, despite being increasingly militarized since 1993, there has been no observable decrease in the flow of undocumented workers. Because the fence will not stop the flow of undocumented immigrants, its construction is purely symbolic. By erecting this fence, the U.S. distances...
...wrong to support the war in Iraq? Severalconservatives and neoconservatives have begun to renounce the decision to topple Saddam Hussein three years ago. William F.

That's the story textbooks told for decades - and it's almost certainly wrong.

Studies of ancient skulls hinted that the earliest Americans in South America had different ancestors from those in the North.

Still confident that there was nothing wrong with my ability to function at full capacity, I flew to San Francisco, where NASA's Ames Research Center keeps a full-size virtual-motion simulator of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. It's the next best thing to really flying. After a few hours of training and several takeoffs and landings, I had mastered the 747--or so I thought...
...family life. The big in the title, it turns out, refers to the expansiveness, not the number, of the Henricksons' commitments. You can analyze their intramarital alliances or disagree with their way of life, but you are never invited to laugh at them or doubt their sincerity. Right, wrong or just weird, they're a family, trying their hardest. Big love, the series shows, is ultimately about quality, not quantity...
