    Every so often a boat load of Haitians arrives in Jamaica to ask for asylum.  After a month or two of asylum, they ask to go back.

    • The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. has stabilized in recent years after decades of rapid growth. But the origin countries of unauthorized immigrants have shifted, with the number from Mexico declining since 2009 and the number from elsewhere rising, according to the latest

      But some state populations had changed since 2009, despite the stable trend at the national level. From 2009 to 2014, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased in seven states: Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina.

      In all of them, the decline was due to a decrease in unauthorized immigrants from Mexico. In six states, the unauthorized immigrant population rose over the same time period: Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.

      In all of these but Louisiana, the increases were due to growth in unauthorized immigrant populations from nations other than Mexico. In Louisiana, it was an increase in Mexican unauthorized immigrants that drove the overall increase in the number of unauthorized immigrants.

    • The reason why people come is money. The chance to make more money.. considering the rate of exchange… Many who come through Mexico are not Mexicans. They come from Honduras, El Salvador, etc.

    • I think all illegal imergrents are hard working careing n loveing people..the ones that come here without papers just be trying to leave to make it better for themselves n family.i think there living like slaves there its many small wats there the govmt.need to help them they come to just work and live normal lives..

      • When you are running for your life, you run anywhere you can be safe. Many people decide to go to the United States and use whatever is happening as the reason.

    • It seems you are a great photographer. Modern cameras and cell phones are there to make photography a more simple and enjoyable activity.

      Now we do not need to develop photos in the dark rooms. We don’t need to go to some studio, just take your camera or cell phone with yourself, select some scene and consider your job done.

      We are now in a better position to capture the beauty of nature. Capturing natural scenes with the help of a camera is a fun.

      I do love this activity. I make good use of my cell phone whenever I see some natural scene.

      • Photography is my passion and there is not a single day that I miss using it.

    • I was feeling very sorry whenever I was reading about waterfalls. I could not see Niagara waterfalls. But the chances of visiting are still there for me.
      But during my Sabarimala tour, I had the chance of visiting Shimoga District in Karnataka . My colleagues have planned to visit the Jog falls and I accompanied them It was really a mind-blowing to see the waterfall. All my friends went near the waterfall and had their bath that too in the biting cold weather. I had no guts. I could take bath but not go near the waterfall. It was really a thrilling experience to see jog waterfall.
      If I get another opportunity I will definitely go and enjoy the spot again

    • I love waterfalls and everything around them. They not only do good to my eyes but also to my ears and in short my whole body.
      The sight of water falling from such a height and that too with such a force sends thrills all through my body.
      The sound of falling water is simply out of this world.
      The scenic beauty of rock and stones around is just so good.
      The entire aura around is worth experiencing.
      I never fail to lose any chance of visiting a water fall.
