There is a bit of debate on the use of Radio Frequency Identification Tags to be used on humans or to be used to stop the illegal aliens from crossing us borders. One of the ideas to use RFID tags, which would be to use them in combination with biometric cards that each person coming over the border to visit would have to carry with them at all times. Perhaps you didn't know but there are 23 million visitors that come to the United States each year and that number is growing. There are 15 million visitors coming from Mexico and Canada each and every year and the authorities want to know who is coming into our country and why. They also want to make sure that those people who have VISAs or passes do...
The Truth About Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing illegal industries in the world, with the Council of Europe attesting that it accounts for international revenue of $42.5 billion annually. But what is human trafficking? There are several different definitions, but the broadest and most general is the illegal movement of people. That is, moving human beings for the intent of anything ranging from forced labor to getting around immigration laws to prostitution. But because of the amount of money generated by the industry, and because of the long history of human trafficking, it will be very difficult to effectively combat the problem. Immigration Because many of the world's most prosperous countries...

Are There, Or Could There Be, Non-Human Persons?
Yes there possibly are, and there defiantly could be non-human persons. Firstly to establish non-human persons I feel I should first clarify what a person is. It's very hard to define a person as to many it's a matter of perspective. Some believe that a person is simply being a member of the human race. Some believe that it's something more; emotion, consciousness, intelligence and many other aspects which set persons apart from non-persons. Some believe that it is not our physical body, but more our mind, our undisputed greatness as a superior form of life apart from the animals. Some believe it is our possession of a soul, but for now that notion will be left alongside the Bible, witch burnings...
Are You Using All the Protection Rights Afforded to You Under the Umbrella of Intellectual Property?
Are you using all the protection rights afforded to you under the umbrella of Intellectual Property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition)? With my first invention (which I lost due to my ignorance), I had the great home run idea, but I did not have a clue on how to protect it as I began my journey that could have taken me to commercial success. In fact, creating an idea with drawings that made it work became my burning obsession; so the business side was of little interest to me. And, like so many other new inventors, having money to seek out and follow legal advice was not an option. In other words: I did not know that I did not know. Of course, that time was back...
Myths About Men Who Use Violence Against Women
"Men who are physically abusive are scuzzy, mean and ugly." This is a common portrayal of a stereotyped abuser: However, this view is gravely incorrect.

Society has several myths about men who use violence against women and a few of them will be pointed out here. Myth #2 - Men who batter are uneducated, lower class or poor.

"Lost Girls" Touches Paranormal and Human Trafficking!
Lost Girls by George D. Shuman is one of those books you hate to love! The storyline of human trafficking is horrendous; however, the story created surrounding the topic is an exciting, fast-paced thriller that takes you from the cliffs of Mount McKinley to the jungles of Haiti! Shuman is a 20-year veteran of the Washington D. C., Metropolitan Police Department and he writes with the fascinating detail that comes from that experience! But then he added Sherry Moore as his main character-not somebody you'd meet on the streets of D.C. Sherry has one paranormal ability; she can touch the hand of deceased individuals and see their last 18 seconds of thoughts! Sometimes those thoughts are those that we...

Weighing Personal Privacy Rights Versus Home Protection Rights
Privacy is a subject that is close to people's hearts. People guard their privacy very seriously. They don't like for it be invaded, compromised or their rights taken away. Naturally, this is to be expected, but how about the privacy rights of others when you are protecting your property and family from harm? I think it is safe to say for selfish reasons, most people would say their own self interests supersede those of others. When you hire someone to work in your home, some people take it to the lengths of having their house monitored by security cameras. In this day and age when burglary rates are rising, you can't really blame the property owners. Some burglaries are even inside jobs where the...

-- End Ad Box ---> Under U.S. immigration law, immigrants may obtain a green card ("U.S. permanent residence) by marrying a U.S. citizen. The U.S. citizen must, however under the normal course, petition U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (CIS, formerly known as INS) for an immigrant visa and a green card application for his/her immigrant spouse based on the marriage. This process once completed leads to the immigrant’s attainment of U.S. permanent residency — i.e., permission to work and live in the U.S. on a permanent basis. But this process is not always beneficial to the immigrant — in many instances, it provides one of the most abusive ways a sponsoring spouse can...

Mail Order Brides - How Much Do They Cost?
A question that I am commonly asked by men interested in pursuing a mail order bride is how much they cost. I am sorry to burst your bubble but it is simply not possible to purchase a mail order bride off the internet or though any sort of catalog. To do so would be considered human trafficking and is illegal as well as immoral. The term "mail order bride" is a label that has sort of stuck that refers to women that are open to cultivating a relationship and ultimately marriage with men foreign to their home country. Yes, once upon a time it was possible to arrange a marriage between yourself and a woman from a foreign country "sight unseen" and have her travel to your country to become your wife...
