A. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimates that in January of 2000 there were 7 million illegal aliens living in the United States, a number that is growing by half a million a year. No one wakes up in Timbuktu and says, Today I will move to Buffalo! migration takes place by way of networks of relatives, friends, acquaintances, and fellow countrymen, and few people immigrate to a place where these connections are absent. Consider two countries on the other side of the planet the Philippines and Indonesia. Both have large, poor populations, they are neighbors and share many cultural similarities, yet there are more than one million Filipino immigrants in the United States and only a handful of Indonesians,… [cont.]

Is it illegal to do electrical work in your own home?
Q. I think it may be illegal to do major jobs like re-wiring the entire house etc... but unsure about smaller jobs like putting in new plug sockets and light switches, any ideas anyone? (when I say illegal I mean that you will be unable to sell your house if you can't produce proper certification for any electrical work done for the people who inspect it)

How does the government find illegal immigrants and what exactly do they do?
Q. I have heard of "sweeps" and of arrests made pertaining to illegal immigration. I have also heard of deportation and people running from the law to hide during certain situations. I'm trying to learn more about how illegal immigrants are discovered and what happens to them when they're caught- also how many are caught and how often. I've written a paper on legal vs. illegal immigration and the current plan for reform and would like to add more information. Problem is, I can't seem to formulate a search that will bring up the information I'm looking for. Can anyone help?

A. One of my old acquaintances worked in the houses or Parliament. There was big scandal recently as one of the guys who worked there was an illegal immigrant from Nigeria. He fled when they knew he was looking for him, but he was pretty high up on the scale working there. So to answer your question, nothing apparently!
